PSA History

Professional Systems Associates, Inc. (PSA) is a small veteran owned business, located in Panama City, Florida. PSA is a Florida Corporation and was incorporated on October 20, 1988. PSA’s growth is rooted in: the partnership with General Services Administration (GSA) and the GSA Schedule 70 IT contract, a very low employee turnover rate and the PSA Management team, which has been together since 1989.

PSA added its first Government client, the Diving & Salvage Branch at the Naval Coastal Systems Center in Panama City, Florida in January 1989. Soon after beginning work on the Diving & Salvage contract PSA was successful in establishing a sub-contracting agreement with several prime contractors who were working in the Panama City, Florida area. With the subcontracting relationships in place, PSA added its second Government customer, the Special Warfare Support Branch at Naval Coastal Systems Center in Panama City, Florida. Both of these organizations are still being supported by PSA almost two decades later.

In January of 1998, PSA’s CMPRO software product and services support was added to DLT Solutions GSA Schedule 70 IT contract. Two years later in 2000, PSA submitted a proposal for a GSA Schedule 70, IT contract. GSA awarded PSA contract GS-35F-0473S on September 25, 2000.

In April 2006, PSA was audited by the Small Business Administration, on behalf of the GSA for a follow on, $8 Million GSA Schedule 70, IT contract. SBA completed its audit of PSA’s finances, facilities and ability to perform successfully on the GSA contract, and on April 21, 2006 issued PSA a Certificate of Competency which confirmed PSA's ability to perform on the contract, SBA Case Number COC-04-22596. On June 19, 2006 GSA awarded PSA its second, five year, Schedule 70, IT contract.

In October 2010 the Configuration Management Process Improvement Center (CMPIC) listed PSA as one of six preferred vendors. CMPIC is an organization that is sponsored by the University of Houston and delivers Professional Level Configuration Management Training.

In November 2010 CMPRO became the first PLM tool to get a five star rating for CMII compliance under the strict guidelines of the Institute of Configuration Management. The Five Star Rating validated CMPRO’s ability to achieve integrated process excellence by providing an infrastructure that enables organizations to accommodate change and keep requirements clear, concise and valid.
