RESTON, Va. - ICF (NASDAQ:ICFI), a global consulting and digital services provider, has been awarded five new subcontracts by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to support various mental health initiatives, including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The contracts, totaling $24 million, build upon the company's three-decade collaboration with SAMHSA.
The majority of the funding, $16.1 million, is allocated to three service agreements over five years, focusing on behavioral health and technology support. These services will enhance the nation's response to suicide prevention through communications, data visualization, and a cloud-based data collection and reporting system on Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Web Services (AWS). The system will be used for evaluating the impact of the 988 Lifeline and Crisis Services programs, as well as the Zero Suicide Program.
The remaining $8 million is divided between two service agreements for SAMHSA's substance misuse and mental health programs. One agreement supports public awareness and education campaigns, such as the National Recovery Campaign, while the other provides monitoring and technical assistance to block grant recipients. Both agreements span four to five years.
ICF's role in these agreements reflects its extensive experience in cloud modernization solutions for federal agencies. As an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner, ICF boasts over 230 certifications and 260 accreditations, showcasing its capabilities in AI, machine learning, cloud infrastructure, and more.
