ICF International, a global professional services firm based in Fairfax, has confirmed the company will make an initial public offering today.
The Fairfax-based consulting firm will offer 4.67 million shares, said a spokesman for the company.
Company officials were still determining a share price as of press time, but it was expected to be between $14 and $16. UBS, Stifel Nicolaus, William Blair & Co. and Jefferies will manage the deal.
ICF specializes in policy analysis for federal government clients, such as the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Most recently, the company was awarded a $14 million, five-year contract to manage the EPA’s Energy Star program, which identifies energy-efficient products that will reduce environmental pollutants.
ICF employs about 900 workers in the Washington region and has offices around the world.
This is the sixth initial public offering in the Washington region this year, according to data from Renaissance Capital’s IPOHome.com. Osiris Therapeutics, a Baltimore-based biotech company, went public in August.
