Moving into a new market area, just like some other government services firms, ManTech International [MANT] yesterday said it has acquired Evolvent Technologies, which provides healthcare information technology (IT) services to the federal government.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, although ManTech said it would be accretive to earnings this year.

Evolvent, which is based in Northern Virginia, provides services in clinical IT, clinical business intelligence, imaging cyber security, behavioral health, tele-health, software development, and systems integration. Key customers include Defense Department health organizations, the Veterans Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services.

The “people of Evolvent understand the healthcare system from the patient-provider relationship through the integration of data and images and the management of records,” George Pedersen, chairman and CEO of ManTech, said in a statement. “They are a great match for ManTech’s proven capabilities in enterprise IT and systems integration.”

Evolvent’s senior leadership will remain with the company. Evolvent said the deal will enable it to deliver healthcare IT services to “a broader government and private market.” Evolvent will become part of ManTech’s Systems Engineering & Advanced Technology Group.
