FAIRFAX, Va., Oct.Ìý13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ICF (NASDAQ: ICFI), a global consulting and digital services provider, was recently awarded a $9 million re-compete task order for research support services under its blanket purchase agreement with Å·²©ÓéÀÖ U.S.ÌýDepartment of Labor (DOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB).
