Health IT vendor Cerner Corp. has agreed to acquire AbleVets, an IT consulting and engineering firm that focuses on the unique missions of federal health clients.

Kansas City-based Cerner said the acquisition of the Washington, D.C., area-based company would provide it greater scale and technical expertise in designing and implementing modernization solutions, particularly in the federal space. The companies expect to complete the transaction in the fourth quarter. 

“AbleVets has been a trusted partner to Cerner and is providing critical support to our federal programs,” said Travis Dalton, president of Cerner Government Services, in a statement. “Integrating the team into our business is a natural next step of our relationship. We expect AbleVets’ technical expertise and execution in solving complex problems will accelerate Cerner’s success in providing integrated, seamless care for Veterans, Service members and their families.”

AbleVets was founded as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. Its staff of 350 professionals, many of whom are veteran, specialize in cybersecurity, agile engineering, analytics and technology enablement to Cerner.
