We provide all necessary business and administrative planning, organizing, coordinating, and tracking support required for contract execution. For our TSA Office of Security Technology (OST) client, DSCI’s strategy of using Engineering Work Plans (EWPs) to present project planning data for peer review and client approval was adopted across OST Engineering.
