ManTech launches AI government contracting group

Herndon-based ManTech International has launched a data analytics and artificial intelligence solutions practice aimed at government clients. It will be led by Brandy Durham, a ManTech vice president and former executive with Amazon Web Services and Microsoft.

The new division offers comprehensive AI consulting, AI engineering services and technology accelerators and works with government agencies to plan, design and execute real-world AI strategies, according to a news release from ManTech.

“At ManTech, we’ve assembled a diverse team of AI experts with deep understanding of client missions to create our foundation, ensuring we empower every client’s AI journey,” said Durham, who joined ManTech in October 2023. She previously served as senior practice manager for artificial intelligence-national security at AWS and also worked for Microsoft and IBM.

“The data analytics and AI solutions practice partners with members of the national security community to deliver mission-critical solutions,” Eric Brown, chief innovation officer at ManTech, said in a statement. “To build on this capability, the practice partners work closely with the digital transformation division, formerly Definitive Logic, which was acquired by ManTech in 2023.”

Founded in 1968 with a single Navy contract to develop war-gaming models for the submarine community, ManTech provides technology solutions for U.S. defense, intelligence and federal civilian agencies. It has a worldwide workforce of 9,400.
