PAE to Provide COVID-19 Testing Services for the NCAA Southeastern Conference
23 September 2020 - 11:15PM
PAE (NASDAQ: PAE, PAEWW), a global leader in delivering smart
solutions to the U.S. government and its allies, was chosen by the
Southeastern Conference of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association to provide COVID-19 testing services for in-season fall
sports at its 14 university locations. Teaming with Premier
Medical Group, PAE will deploy trained and ready test teams to each
campus for testing and related logistics to support the safe
execution of football, soccer, volleyball and other scheduled
sports through December 2020 with an option to extend services for
playoffs and bowl games.
PAE's experience in complex project management
and operational logistics is key to meeting the SEC’s need for a
COVID-19 test provider. Having served on the front lines of the
Ebola crisis in Liberia, PAE has the skills, knowledge and
capabilities to respond effectively to the current pandemic.
President and CEO John Heller said PAE will
provide expertise acquired supporting other infectious disease
outbreaks on the SEC contract. Notably, the company mobilized and
supported Ebola treatment units and a field hospital in Liberia for
USAID in 2014 and 2015. PAE’s expeditionary skillset will be
applied to deploying and managing testing services across the
SEC.
“Having quickly responded to COVID-19 for
customers that include the state of Georgia, we are well positioned
to provide critical support to the SEC,” Heller said. “Our talented
workforce will apply expertise gained from our history of providing
important medical services to the safety of SEC athletes, staff,
referees and officials.”
