TeamStaff, Inc. Commences Performance of Armed Forces Retirement Home Contract
SOMERSET, N.J., June 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TeamStaff, Inc., (Nasdaq: TSTF), a leading logistics and healthcare services provider to the Federal Government and Department of Defense, announced today that it has commenced performance of its five-year contract with the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH), which it previously valued up to $3.3M, to provide healthcare services support. In addition to providing registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants, TeamStaff will implement its proprietary Practitioner Resource Allocation Tool "PRAT".
PRAT is a web-based information management system used for the management, scheduling, monitoring and reporting of human capital resources. TeamStaff believes PRAT offers unique advantages in providing the services requested by AFRH and was instrumental in securing the contract for the Company. The contract award was originally announced in December 2009 and scheduled to commence February 2010. However, implementation of the contract was deferred by AFRH due to objections to the bidding process that resulted in the re-solicitation of bids and the re-award of the contract to TeamStaff Government Solutions, Inc.
TeamStaff CEO and President, Zach Parker commented: "We are honored to have been selected to perform this critical service for our retired veterans. TeamStaff is committed to partnering with AFRH to ensure that the needs of patients are met and service to these heroes is seamlessly provided."
AFRH is an independent agency within the Executive branch of the federal government providing retirement services to America's veterans. TeamStaff will provide services to the Washington D.C. location which encompasses 272 acres in the heart of the nation's capital.
