McLean, Va., May 22, 2017 – Science Applications International Corp.

Recruiting efforts are already underway, and the company has hired 35 individuals that will work at the Technology Integration GatewayTM in support of multiple programs including the recently announced Federal Systems Integration and Management System (FEDSIM) task order that will deliver, manage and evolve end-user IT services communication and collaboration tools for the Environmental Protection Agency.
