System One, the second-largest US engineering staffing firm, acquired Tech USA Cos., a provider of IT, engineering, government and clinical scientific staffing.

Tech USA has two divisions, one of which focuses on staffing and the other on government solutions. The firm is based in Millersville, Maryland, with offices in 10 other cities. The deal was announced Jan. 6.

“Tech USA’s market leadership, reputation, and expertise in technology, engineering, scientific, and government sectors make the organization a perfect fit for System One,” Troy Gregory, chairman and CEO of System One, said in a press release.

Tech USA’s government solutions division will operate independently under System One’s subsidiary brand Gap Solutions.

Grover Outland, chairman and CEO of the Tech USA Cos., said the deal will lead the company to new heights.

“This acquisition offers tremendous opportunities for growth and success for both organizations while continuing the legacies of our former Chairman, CEO, and co-founder Tom Howell and our former president, Susan Warner, who passed away (respectively) in late September and late August — Tom and Susan had high regard for System One, Troy Gregory, and [System One President and COO] Greg Lignelli,” Outland said.

Terms of the transaction were not announced.
