Engility wins $8 million GSA task order to support USAID program to create sustainable energy programs in Eastern Europe and Eurasia

CHANTILLY, Va., July 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Engility Holdings, Inc. EGL, today announced it has been awarded an $8 million task order  to provide specialized technical consulting supporting the U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) program to help create sustainable energy futures for countries of Eastern Europe, the Balkans and the Caucasus. The USAID award is a three-year time and materials task order representing new work, and was made under the General Services Administration (GSA) Professional and Engineering Services contract.

The task order, which will be managed by USAID's Bureau for Europe and Eurasia, stems from USAID's Enhancing Capacity for Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS) program. LEDS supports the U.S. government's objectives to develop international and regional cooperation mechanisms to increase investments in viable clean energy and infrastructure projects. Ultimately, the desired outcome is the use of clean energy technology that will sustain economic growth and reduce poverty by promoting the transition to low-carbon economies. This transition will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

"We are extremely pleased to win this task order," said Engility President and CEO Tony Smeraglinolo. "Engility is already a USAID implementing partner of LEDS projects in Guatemala, Ukraine and the Philippines. This latest win reflects confidence in our approach, which identifies and leverages environmental, economic and social benefits that will fit each program's needs and characteristics."
