Providing Flexible Enterprise IT Expertise to Advance Argonne’s Research Mission
Argonne National Laboratory is a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory located in Lemont, Illinois. DivIHN serves as the prime contractor under Time-and-Materials Contract 01-60038, 4I-60068. The engagement began in 2017 and continues today, with a documented contract value of $6,986,168.24.
The Challenge
Argonne operates a large, technically diverse research environment that supports thousands of personnel and hundreds of research partners. Sustaining this environment requires access to qualified technology professionals across multiple disciplines, along with support for project-based initiatives that call for specialized technical expertise, disciplined resource management, and reliable delivery.
Argonne needed a partner that could identify and onboard qualified personnel across a broad range of IT functions and also take ownership of defined project deliverables when requirements went beyond staff augmentation.
Our Solution
Argonne selected DivIHN through a competitive procurement, and DivIHN continues to support the laboratory through a long-term supplier relationship.
For contingent staffing, DivIHN manages the full resource lifecycle, including:
- Resource identification and sourcing
- Screening and technical evaluation
- Candidate testing and interviews
- Coordination of Argonne assessments
- Reference and background verification
- Onboarding support
- Ongoing consultant relationship management
For direct-hire requirements, DivIHN supports position profile development, candidate sourcing and evaluation, and completion of the hiring process.
Results and Mission Impact
DivIHN has sustained a multi-year relationship with Argonne since 2017, supporting the laboratory with both workforce capacity and project-based technology services.
The engagement gives Argonne a flexible technical delivery model. DivIHN provides individual specialists where needed and also takes responsibility for defined project outcomes under individual SOWs.
Through this model, DivIHN helps Argonne address changing technology requirements across cybersecurity, application development, infrastructure, web and mobile technologies, and IT planning through a flexible mix of delivery options.
Continued contract extensions reflect Argonne’s ongoing confidence in DivIHN as a technology partner.
