FAIRFAX, Va., Oct. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRA International, Inc. (NYSE: SRX), a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to government organizations and commercial clients, today announced that it has been awarded a single-award blanket purchasing agreement (BPA) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), to develop the next generation of the anti-fraud locator using electronic benefits transfer (EBT) retailer transactions (ALERT) system. The goal is to improve fraud detection on an ongoing basis, for both known and unknown fraud types. The BPA has a ceiling of $25 million over a 10-year period, if all options are exercised.

The ALERT system is a fraud-detection, decision-support system designed to monitor and track electronically conducted retail transactions completed by Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients in authorized meal program and food retailer locations. The ALERT system facilitates management of the program by providing transaction-level information to the federal personnel responsible for SNAP retailer management and compliance activities.

SRA will work with FNS to develop the next-generation ALERT system, to enhance its functionality and modernize its technology. SRA's solution includes advanced analytics, data mining and pattern recognition to increase the volume of fraud detection. SRA has also proposed a geographic information system solution that will allow investigators the ability to detect fraud based on geospatial analysis.

"SRA has a long history of applying analytical tools and methods to large data sets to identify fraud, waste and abuse," said SRA Health and Civil Services Senior Vice President Max Hall. "SRA is proud to support this important mission and - especially in times like these - we're confident our fraud detection expertise will help ensure that benefits are used for their intended purpose."
