The Department of Justice (DOJ) for the USA has awarded Unisys, the global IT outsourcer, three ‘task orders’ to provide professional and technical services, expanding an existing long-standing arrangement.

Under the contract Unisys will provide investigative services, training, and program analysis – in support of the DOJ Asset Forfeiture Program (AFP). The task orders form part of a $475 million multi-vendor contract awarded in March 2008.

The AFP is a nationwide law enforcement program that manages assets forfeited in the prosecution of criminals and criminal enterprises. As part of the contract Unisys will be eligible to compete for ‘task orders’ to provide a range of services to AFP management and field professionals. These services include investigative and analytical services, consulting, technical services, and case-related professional support during the investigation and prosecution of criminal cases.

Unisys has supported the DOJ on various AFP services since 2002.
