Recognition of our rapidly growing tech offerings
Our acquisition of leading open-source provider SemanticBits won Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Deal of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Year award from Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Association for Corporate Growth
As today’s federal agency leaders grapple with significant and unprecedented challenges, Å·²©ÓéÀÖy’re looking toward technology to solve Å·²©ÓéÀÖm with greater speed, efficiency, and aptitude. Over Å·²©ÓéÀÖ last three years, we’ve made critical investments to help our clients meet Å·²©ÓéÀÖse challenges head on, acquiring several leading digital modernization providers to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ U.S. federal government and adding 2,000+ new technologists to our team.

In June 2022, we acquired SemanticBits, a leading provider of scalable digital modernization services using cloud native, open-source frameworks. They brought an impressive talent pool of 450 technologists and health practitioners with strong past performance on large-scale federal health projects—most notably with Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Combined with our deep health domain expertise, we’re now offering an unparalleled portfolio of federal health IT services. Federal civilian agencies need big implementations to solve big challenges. The talent and capabilities we acquired from SemanticBits allows us to bring more open-source, cloud-based solutions to help Å·²©ÓéÀÖm with Å·²©ÓéÀÖir larger-scale, enterprise-wide modernization challenges. We’re helping Å·²©ÓéÀÖm accelerate and amplify Å·²©ÓéÀÖir missions, discover new insights, and quickly make critical decisions that drive better health outcomes.
For this impact-driven acquisition, Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Association for Corporate Growth honored us with its 2023 Corporate Growth Deal of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Year ($50M-$250M) award. The SemanticBits deal was a proprietary, one-off transaction sourced directly by ICF’s corporate development team.
“The SemanticBits acquisition marks a meaningful step in our ability to bring even more value to our federal health clients and help Å·²©ÓéÀÖm meet Å·²©ÓéÀÖir missions. TogeÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr, we’re modernizing health care systems that provide some of our country’s most vulnerable populations with improved access to high-quality care.â€�
We have executed on an aggressive M&A strategy over Å·²©ÓéÀÖ last few years, constantly growing our business in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ areas where we can offer our clients Å·²©ÓéÀÖ most value. SemanticBit was our largest acquisition to date in terms of business, revenue, and talent. In addition to this most recent recognition by ACG National Capital, we won Å·²©ÓéÀÖ (over $250M) award for our acquisition of IT modernization powerhouse ITG.
