The contract has an 8.5 month base period, four twelve-month option periods, and one 7.5 month option period.
“Through 1901 Group’s enterprise managed services and cybersecurity capabilities, we will provide sophisticated technologies and business performance improvement to ultimately deliver timely and accurate information to Salient CRGT, GAO, Congress, and the American people,” said Paul Wilkinson, , 1901 Group’s executive vice president of business development.

In addition, the company will deploy GAO’s next generation information technology service management (ITSM) platform to increase the use of automation and data analytics to improve performance. “We are proud to team with Salient CRGT in this critical journey to transform GAO’s IT infrastructure, applications, and systems,” added Wilkinson.
1901 Group has continued to exponentially grow its IT services and since its launch of the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center (VTCRC) Enterprise IT Operations Center (EITOC) expansion in Aug. 2019.
“1901 Group worked with the VTCRC to design the facility to support our rapid growth in the public sector. The layout and configuration are specifically designed for customers seeking substantial performance gains via innovative services to help them assess, migrate, and optimize their mission-critical applications through cloud computing and IT delivered ‘as a service’,” said Wilkinson.
The VTCRC will be building 1901 Group’s 45,000 square foot EITOC to provide a state-of-the-art Operations Center to support 1901 Group’s continued growth of cloud, cybersecurity, and managed services business.
“1901 Group’s new Enterprise IT Operations Center in Montgomery County adds to the region’s economic momentum and booming technology sector,” said VA Governor Ralph Northam. “The company’s decision to expand its presence into rural Virginia speaks volumes about the area’s low operating costs, quality of life, and skilled workforce that continue to attract forward-thinking IT companies. We thank 1901 Group for investing in Montgomery County, and look forward to the company’s future success in the Commonwealth.”
