S&K Technologies and Positive Systems Continue Work for the USDA

The S&K Technologies (SKT) and Positive Systems team was recently awarded an additional contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The contract is valued at approximately $1.4 million and is associated with the USDA’s ongoing implementation plan to facilitate computer mapping (Geographic Information Systems) at their 3,000 field offices. The work associated with this contract is scheduled to be completed early in 2005.

The latest contract is the final phase of the USDA’s implementation plan and represents the culmination of two years of work by S&K and Positive Systems. Similar to past contracts, the latest award calls for the delivery of a variety of digital mapping products including aerial photography and field boundary line drawings specific to the states of Georgia and West Virginia. These products afford the USDA the ability to perform a variety of agricultural analysis on features such as soil information, land ownership, land use, as well as to monitor agricultural crop compliance. Positive Systems’ DIME® and GeoCLU™ software are key tools in delivering these products in the manner specified by the USDA.

SKT’s corporate goals and objectives include facilitating the infusion of new technology on the Flathead Indian Reservation and providing educational and employment opportunities. As a direct result of the ongoing work with the USDA, the tribally owned enterprise has added several new positions thereby aiding the fulfillment of stated corporate goals. In addition, Positive Systems has also increased its staffing and has relocated to a larger office in Whitefish. The contract marks a significant financial milestone for the Positive Systems organization, as the revenues generated will contribute significantly to fiscal goals.
