FAIRFAX, VA, Nov. 3 /CNW Telbec/ - The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded CGI Federal Inc. (CGI), a wholly-owned U.S. operating subsidiary of CGI Group Inc. (NYSE: GIB; TSX: GIB.A), a US$22 million firm-fixed-price task order including a one-year base and five, one-year option periods issued under the multi-vendor, seven-year, US$955 million, ITS-EPA II Program Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA).

Under this task order, CGI will provide an agency-wide call center to support central and local infrastructure, desktop, local and national telecommunications, and application software in a firm-fixed-price per seat environment.
