G2X TAKE: Beating out 14 other bidders, fast rising small business LinTech Global, an IT and engineering solutions provider, has been awarded a 5-year contract with the Environmental Protection Agency to provide ECHO regional IT, Telecommunication Support Services and Geospatial Support Services for Regions 1, 2 and 3. The contract was competed and awarded using GSA IT-70. Take Bytes This contract was initially awarded last August to LinTech, but the award was pulled back as the Agency was forced to take corrective action as a result of a protest. The end result was the same.  EPA’s Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) platform reports display compliance, enforcement, and environmental data on a webpage for a facility or permittee, many of which are specific to an environmental program or emissions type (e.g., air, water). Led by Founder and President, Michael Lin, this 8(a) STARS II Prime maintains  a broad set of past performance that cuts across FedCiv, to include prior experience as a Prime with EPA providing Region 5 IT Support Services: Network Infrastructure Support, Help Desk and End User Support, Database Administration Support, Computer/Network System Security Support, Telecommunications, and External Network Support.
