Air Force Renewal of MainStream GS Contract Recognizes Strong Performance



BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- MainStream GS, LLC, a leading
management consulting firm that specializes in strategy development, strategy
alignment and deployment, continuous process improvement, and program and
project management, recently announced that the U.S. Air Force has chosen to
exercise option year two of their five year contract for continuous process
improvement (CPI) services.  Under the terms of the contract, MainStream GS is
responsible for executing CPI principles and strategies throughout the Air
Force in order to consolidate and streamline projects, which, to date, have
contributed significantly to cost savings for the Service.

"The Air Force is a very strategic customer for our firm and we are extremely
pleased to continue to be a leading enabler of their CPI initiatives," said
Kali Mistry, Vice President of Air Force Programs at MainStream GS.  "With
this option year award we have an opportunity to build on Air Force successes
to date with performance improvement tools, specifically CPI, and help the Air
Force get to the next level of impact and results," said Al Horowitz,
President of MainStream GS.

In February 2006, Air Force leaders created the Air Force Smart Operations 21
(AFSO21) program office at the Pentagon in an effort to optimize the way the
Service conducts its mission.  The office was created to look at process
improvement across the board and provide top-level guidance for implementing
related initiatives.    

One year later in February 2007, MainStream GS, in response to a competitive
bid for CPI services, was awarded a single award five-year $90 million
contract to support the Air Force in its AFSO21 mission.  Working closely with
senior Air Force leadership, MainStream GS provides a CPI approach fully
aligned with AFSO21 principles.  Specifically, MainStream GS provides
training, guidance, coaching and mentoring to Air Force leadership and their
organizations, aligning their CPI efforts to core objectives, overcoming
barriers to change, and improving Service processes. 

As a result of an enterprise-wide task order, MainStream GS' senior
consultants are located within the headquarters of the Air Mobility Command
(AMC/HQ) as well as at 14 domestic bases.  AMC/HQ is in year two of an active
strategy deployment that is aligning their AFSO21 efforts throughout the
MAJCOM in order to achieve the AMC's breakthrough objectives of 'increasing
system velocity and precision, eliminating waste in all processes, and
creating a culture of self-sustainment and continuous process improvement.'
