&lt;p&gt;Booz Allen Hamilton announced yesterday that it would sell its state and local government transportation consulting business to CH2M HILL, a Denver-based consulting and engineering outfit. Booz Allen, itself based in McLean, Virginia, explained that &quot;this transaction enables the firm to better focus on its core federal government work.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CH2M HILL is forking over $28.5 million for the practice group, which Booz Allen says amounts to less than 1 percent of its overall consulting business (at $50 million, the group&#39;s annual revenue is nothing to be scoffed at, though it pales in comparison to Booz Allen&#39;s $5 billion-plus annual haul).  The deal, expected to be completed sometime this fall, will see 150 former Booz Allen employees make the switch to CH2M Hill.  All of the practice group&#39;s current contracts will carry over to CH2M HILL.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gary Schulman, senior VP of the practice group in question, suggested that the transferred employees would find CH2M HILL a familiar working environment.  &quot;Their culture of ethics, diversity, and inclusivity&amp;mdash;combined with their highly integrated business platform and focus on sustainability&amp;mdash;makes this an ideal fit for our talented professionals.&quot;  &quot;Like Booz Allen Hamilton,&quot; echoed the group&#39;s executive VP, &quot;CH2M HILL has a strong &#39;client for life&#39; philosophy and a reputation for standing behind its work.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Booz Allen&#39;s local and state government transportation business shouldn&#39;t be confused with its federal government transportation business, which has long served as the former&#39;s older, more successful sibling.  Described as &quot;large and growing&quot;, the federal practice group boasts big-name clients like the Federal Aviation Administration and Amtrak (though, if my rail-riding experiences are at all representative, they haven&#39;t exactly done a bang-up job with this one).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In any case, this move fits the bill for Booz Allen.  The federal government has always served as the firm&#39;s go-to source for revenue and, coming out of the recession, state and local governments have even less cash to spend on big-money consultants than the feds do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite the minor workforce reduction, Booz Allen still employs more than 25,000 people.  CH2M HILL isn&#39;t far behind, with roughly 23,000 on payroll.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For more information:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Booz Allen Hamilton Sells State &amp;amp; Local Gov&#39;t Transportation Consulting Business&lt;/p&gt;
