The Information Technology Association of America has formed a new board of directors executive committee following its merger with the Government Electronics and Information Technology Association.
The government services mergers and acquisition market has been consistently active since 2001. But today it's more of a bipolar M&A market driven by the small-business recertification requirements that took effect July 1.
A group led by Scott Amey, co-founder of RS Information Systems Inc., has acquired Amyx Inc., a small business that provides management and technology services to the government.

Unisys Corp. might sell its federal business unit if it agrees to the demand of a major stockholder to take the step and end what it called the company's "ruinous stock-price performance."
Affiliated Computer Services Inc. will acquire Syan Holdings Ltd., a provider of information technology outsourcing services, for about $60 million in an all-cash deal.
