Read MoreHide Full Article

Premium consulting and engineering services provider Tetra Tech, Inc. (TTEK - Free Report) recently clinched another $32 million single-award contract from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

After a $28 million contract to reinforce water sector governance in Jordan and an $84 million deal to provide technical assistance to the Power Africa Transactions and Reform Program, this is the third major contract from USAID during the third quarter of fiscal 2016.

The latest contract requires Tetra Tech to enhance governance of marine resources and protect biodiversity in Indonesia. Also, Tetra Tech will work closely with a host of regional, national, and community level partners in this five-year Sustainable Ecosystems Advanced (SEA) project and devise policies for betterment of natural resources and marine ecosystems in the country.

Indonesia, a hub of coastal and marine biodiversity, has been lately impacted by climate change. The nation’s fisheries and coral reef ecosystems, which form an integral part of its economy, are in dire need of protection. USAID and the Government of Indonesia have joined hands to conserve the natural environment of the country and Tetra Tech, which has been USAID’s coastal resource management programs in Southeast Asia for 25 years, is helping coastal communities adapt to the changing climatic conditions.

Tetra Tech has had a string of award wins that have materially boosted its top line and margin performance. During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the company secured noteworthy contracts from the U.S. Department of Defense, specifically from the U.S. Navy and the Army.

Also, Tetra Tech won governance programs in El Salvador and funded task orders worth $41 million from the U.S. Department of State and USAID during the second quarter. We believe that such significant contract wins will boost revenues, signaling at the bright prospects ahead.
