REI Systems wins $400 million Food and Drug Administration IT modernization contract

The Food and Drug Administration awarded REI Systems the Criminal Investigations, Imports and Systems Inspection Regulatory Compliance and Enforcement (SIRCE) contract valued at $400 million over five years. 

The contract will support the FDA’s Office of Regulatory Affairs in the development, modernization, and operations of its mission-critical systems that help protect consumers from risks such as dangerous, unacceptable quality, or mislabeled products, including foods, veterinary medicines, drugs, other medical products, and tobacco, according to REI.

The FDA partnered with REI Systems to address new legislative mandates and emerging health concerns. The FDA wants to evolve technologies through more efficient, reliable, and secure systems, under the project. 

These systems support over 150 posts and border stations domestically and 13 international offices and labs and on-site inspections at numerous manufacturer sites. REI Systems will implement technology approaches that use DevSecOps and containerization, FEDRAMP cloud, strengthened security measures, and new analytic capabilities to support FDA’s mission.
