Army to Issue Separate Translation Contracts

The Army plans to split the worldwide translation work now held by Titan Corp. into three contracts when the current $400-million award runs out in September to make more room for involvement by small businesses.

The Army will issue its formal request for proposals for the five-year contracts in June and expects to select the winners before Titan’s one-year award runs out Sept. 30.

Translation work is San Diego-based Titan’s largest single contract, accounting for $247 million, or 12%, of the company’s 2004 sales of $2.05 billion.
