Under the task order, SAIC will host, maintain, and help enhance the RKB website. SAIC will also provide expertise to the responder community via the Ask the Expert feature of the website, and provide updated content weekly.

John Ferriter, senior vice president and business unit general manager of SAIC, said: We are pleased to help DHS provide emergency responders, purchasers, and planners with a trusted, integrated, on-line source of information.
