FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ICF International, a leading provider of consulting services and technology solutions to government and commercial clients, announced today that it has signed a strategic teaming arrangement with the George Washington University (GW) with the goal of identifying opportunities where the two can collaborate on potential business.
