Calibre to tackle money laundering for US Dept of Treasury

Calibre, a management and technology services company, has been awarded a contract with a total
potential value of $13.7 million by the US Department of the Treasury in an attempt to combat money
laundering.

The contract has a six-month period of performance with five option years, and has a base period
worth $1.6 million.

Calibre is to provide support for the development of IT and information resource management
strategies of the Bureau of the Public Debt for the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
It will also assist in the management of IT programs and capital asset management and offer training
on information resource management and technology issues.

It is hoped the deal will enable FinCEN's Office of Information Technology to efficiently combat
money laundering, both domestically and internationally, across the network of law enforcement and
intelligence communities it serves and the financial industry it regulates.
