Tetra Tech Wins $46 Million Single-Award Contract From TAM

Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTEK) recently announced that it has clinched a $46-million single-award contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Transatlantic Middle East District (TAM). The five-year deal will involve Tetra Tech to offer engineering design services that would support the U.S. Central Command and TAM missions throughout the world.

Tetra Tech will be responsible for providing technical design services to existing, new facilities and infrastructure improvement projects. The company’s architects and engineers will dispense support services in every phase of the project life cycle. These phases include planning and program development through final design and engineering services during the course of construction.

Existing Business Scenario

Tetra Tech is bullish about its growth potential across all four client sectors, namely, U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, U.S. commercial and finally, the international. Based on the growth rate forecast for the U.S. federal markets, the company expects sales from these markets to rise at 5% rate for fiscal 2019 (ending September 2019).

Also, in a bid to maximize its growth prospects, the company is currently focusing on high-end consulting and engineering services that are helping it promote high value and high margin business, thereby differentiating it from peers in the marketplace.

In the past three months, shares of the company have surged 33.6% compared with the industry’s increase of 6.1%.

Additionally, Tetra Tech expects solid opportunities across the globe to boost its international revenues. For fiscal 2019, the company expects a 10% growth rate with its international clients, particularly in Canada and Asia Pacific region. Further, infrastructure and industrial work in Canada plus commercial and environmental programs in the United States are likely to supplement the company’s top line.
