Atlanta, Georgia – December 8, 2022 – DLH Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: DLHC) (“DLH” or the “Company”), a leading provider of research and development, systems engineering and integration, and digital transformation solutions to federal agencies, today announced that it has acquired privately-held Grove Resource Solutions, Inc. (“GRSi”) of Bethesda, Maryland.

The firm, with approximately 700 employees, provides a broad array of cloud-based enterprise modernization and cyber security solutions to numerous civilian and military federal agencies, most notably the National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. Navy (USN), and U.S. Marine Corps (USMC), among others.

“We are thrilled to begin a new era at DLH with the acquisition of GRSi,” said Zach Parker, DLH President and CEO. “Through this landmark transaction, we elevate our information technology and engineering capabilities, while adding the scale we need to thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace. GRSi’s high-end IT and technical capabilities serving scientists, researchers, and system engineers have earned the company a reputation for excellence, and we expect that our unified organization will build upon those achievements to drive accelerated growth for DLH in the near- and long-terms. GRSi’s highly credentialed workforce features some the best and brightest technology leaders in our industry. We could not be more excited to welcome the entire team into the DLH family.”

GRSi was purchased for $185.0 million, or $157.9 million net of transaction-related tax benefits worth approximately $27.1 million on a net present value basis. The purchase price includes $178.0 million of cash and $7.0 million of equity.  DLH estimates that GRSi will contribute annualized revenue of approximately $140 million to the Company going forward, and the firm’s backlog was approximately $550 million at closing. GRSi will be a wholly owned subsidiary of DLH Holdings Corp., and current GRSi key operations leaders are expected to remain with DLH in leadership roles.

“From culture and values, to market presence and capabilities, we believe that DLH is an ideal partner for GRSi,” added David Affeldt, President & CEO of GRSi. “Working with Zach and his team has reinforced our belief that this transaction will yield an impressive platform for achieving our joint objectives for years to come. DLH has the capabilities, customers, and culture that will enhance those of our own – resulting in a dynamic, improved provider of essential services to federal customers.”

DLH financed the acquisition through an amendment to its existing secured credit facility. First National Bank of Pennsylvania acted as agent, and F.N.B. Capital Markets, M&T Bank, and Atlantic Union Bank acted as joint lead arrangers. The credit facility was comprised of a syndicated term loan of $190 million and a revolving credit facility of $70 million.

GRSi, a provider of state-of-the-art innovations and solutions across the Civilian, National Security, and Intel communities, has been awarded a 5-year contract to support the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH’s) All of Us Research Program (All of Us). All of Us is a mission-critical effort born from the Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI), focusing on significantly increasing the diversity of health data available to NIH-funded researchers. This not only increases the data available to research teams to enhance specialized and individualized healthcare, but also improves access to clinical studies for under-represented communities. Under this program, GRSi will provide All of Us with organizational development, executive management and technology consulting services, IT governance, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) support.

This contract is an expansion and continuation of the support GRSi has provided to All of Us since 2019 and was solicited as a sole-source procurement due to GRSi’s key role in support of The Program’s mission. GRSi was initially engaged by All of Us in 2019 to provide organizational development and management consulting services as The Program was expanding from 45 Federal employees to more than 200. During this process, GRSi established an IT Governance Committee and support team to deliver a specialized IT support model for The Program which integrates managed services provided by multiple external groups. This award establishes GRSi’s IT services for All of Us as a core service area under The Program’s Chief Financial & Management Officer (CFO) and further expands our executive management consulting services across All of Us Divisions.

“Our team has played a key role in aligning All of Us’ support teams with the overall mission needs as The Program has grown. We are proud to build upon our partnership with All of Us and continue transforming our services as their organization evolves. This award and the change to a 5-year contract are a testament to the success of our team’s efforts and demonstrate the high degree of trust that All of Us has in GRSi.” – Diane Yarnell, Executive Vice President & Chief of Staff

GRSi, a provider of state-of-the-art innovations and solutions across the Civilian, National Security, and Intel communities, has been awarded a 2-year contract to support NIH’s Science and Technology Research Infrastructure for Discovery, Experimentation, and Sustainability (STRIDES) program through the Center for Information Technology (CIT). STRIDES provides all 27 NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) as well as tens of thousands of their Extramural research partners with leading-edge Cloud platforms and capabilities as-a-Service. STRIDES currently provides key Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services that are integral to mission-critical, NIH-wide initiatives. Programs such as Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) and BioData Catalyst heavily utilize these platforms to enable multi-petabyte-scale high-performance Cloud computing and big data analytics for genomic research across the world.

Under this program, GRSi will drive the strategic alignment of STRIDES capability offerings with trans-NIH mission and business needs through shared poly-Cloud architecture, governance, engineering, cybersecurity, and operational support services. This includes integrating Microsoft Azure as a centrally managed STRIDES platform for all NIH ICs and research partners, as well as evaluating and implementing additional specialized Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) for niche mission needs. GRSi will also be applying best practices and solutions that our teams have delivered across ICs toward STRIDES with a focus on broader mission alignment. This GRSi differentiator further enables NIH and CIT to provide robust and tailored Cloud services to all ICs and programs, enabling researchers to leverage the power of next-generation technologies while benefiting from reduced implementation costs, risks, and complexity.

“This award serves as a testament to the incredible work GRSi’s teams have performed in support of the overarching NIH mission and its research community. We see this as a pivotal evolution and expansion of GRSi’s Cloud service delivery for NIH, building on our successes supporting initiatives like BioData Catalyst and their integration with STRIDES to increase their impact at a global scale. GRSi’s support of STRIDES also comes at the perfect time for NIH, as our team will now be applying our expertise in aligning IC needs with STRIDES to enhance, optimize, and offer best-fit Cloud capabilities across all NIH ICs and programs.” – Diane Yarnell, Executive Vice President & Chief of Staff

GRSi, a provider of state-of-the-art innovations and solutions across the Civilian, National Security, and Intel communities, has been awarded a $48M contract by the NIH’s Office of Innovation and Information Technology (OIIT). GRSi will provide Infrastructure & Cloud Engineering, DevSecOps, and Agile Program Management & Governance services to NIH’s Office of Research Services (ORS) and Office of Research Facilities (ORF). This program is truly key to NIH’s mission as ORS and ORF provide shared critical infrastructure services through NIH’s Office of the Director (OD) to all 27 Institutes and Centers (ICs). 

This contract is an expansion and continuation of the support GRSi has provided through ORS’ OIIT since 2019 and was solicited as a sole-source procurement due to GRSi’s highly specialized and unique capabilities and service delivery approach. This procurement strategy and award for GRSi serve as a testament to the unique capabilities of GRSi in Cloud and Advanced Technology areas of performance, as well as the exceptional service delivery provided. Additionally, this contract iteration further expands GRSi’s responsibilities in critical infrastructure systems security for NIH’s Facilities Network (FACNet) and Biosafety Labs (BSLs).

“GRSi’s position as a uniquely advanced technology company within the GovCon space is further demonstrated by this award, and others like it, that have used a uniquely qualified vendor acquisition strategy to engage us in these forward-leaning technology efforts. We couldn’t be more proud of our teams and their accomplishments in paving the way for advancing our clients’ missions via solution engineering that takes them truly to the next level. Further, this award closes the first half of the year for GRSi with over $110M in awards year to date, and already puts us on a path for another record year of growth and performance into 2023.” – Diane Yarnell, Executive Vice President & Chief of Staff

GRSi, an industry-recognized technology innovations and professional services company supporting Government and Commercial clients, announced that it has been awarded nearly $60M in level of effort contracts in the first quarter of 2022. GRSi, historically doubling its size every three years, continues its record momentum in 2022 with the successful launching of numerous awards, which have delivered the forecast of another record year already in the first quarter.

As impressive as this momentum is, the details are even more so: the company has maintained a 100% win rate on large business pursuits since 2020, including an increase of large business awards from 50% in 2021 to 85% in 2022. All of GRSi’s growth through the years has been organic, building on exceptional past performance and innovation. Record growth has led to record promotions and hires year over year, with 2022 being no exception. 

“I’ve been asked how GRSi will compete in the large business arena now that we’ve graduated well into the mid-tier. My answer is, ‘very well!’. As evidenced in GRSi’s win rates in the full and open market, we not only can compete with the biggest of companies, but we can win…a lot. We couldn’t be prouder of the successes of our teams around the country, the positive impacts they continue to make for our clients’ forward-leaning missions, and the growth we’ve all achieved together. These successes in innovation and applied technologies are the cornerstone of our collective success as an organization, and as a technology-driven company that puts people first. ” —David Affeldt, President & CEO

GRSi, a provider of state-of-the-art innovations and solutions across the defense, civilian, and intel communities, has been awarded a four-year contract to provide support to the United States Marine Corps (USMC) Technical Control Analysis Center (TCAC) Family of Systems (FoS).

The contract, awarded by NIWC Atlantic via full and open competition, covers a diverse spectrum of legacy and advanced technologies to perform mission-critical development/modernization (DEV/MOD) on numerous systems.   

GRSi’s robust portfolio of expertise will continue to expand in support of The Fleet Marine Force (FMF), USMC Radio Battalions (RadBn), and Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) as they use the TCAC FoS capabilities to provide timely and accurate Signals Intelligence (SIGINT)/Electronic Warfare (EW) support to Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) combat operations.  

“We are proud and excited to partner with NIWC Atlantic and extend our expertise in support of the USMC as they use the TCAC Family of Systems to diligently protect our country. This award also significantly achieves our GRSi goal to expand our software engineering portfolio. As always, we will strive for excellence in every way, in support of our warfighters.” – Kelly Baldwin, Sr. VP, Defense Programs/GM, NIWC Operations
