Littleton, CO - October 26, 2005 - CI International announced today the award of a second contract to provide national assessment services for the Public Building Service (PBS) of the General Services Administration. Approximately 2,500 PBS associates in the operations administration function will be assessed using an innovative, online system, patented by teaming partner Cognisco, Ltd.
