Critical Software Technologies wins US Air Force contract
Critical Software Technologies (CSWT) is the only non-US company on the consortium led by Dynamics Research Corporation (DRC) that has won a NETCENTS-2 Enterprise Integration and Service Management (EISM) contract from the US Air Force Electronic Centre at Hanscom.
Apart from DRC's consortium, five other teams - led by Booz Allen, CACI, Deloittes, SAIC and Tech Team - were also awarded EISM IDIQ contracts under the $24.2 billion Network-Centric Solutions umbrella. The EISM contracts have a ceiling value of $460 million for all awardees and a duration of three base years plus two one-year option periods.
"We were delighted when we were asked by DRC back in 2009 to be part of their team, and we are even more pleased now that one of the EISM awards has been secured," says Brian Luff, CSWT's chairman. "This fits very well with our remit within the Critical Group, which is to extend our reach into northern Europe and North America. Our EISM work will be a significant addition to the portfolio of US interests we have started to build."
Under the EISM contract the Air Force is expected to procure IT portfolio management analyses, enterprise-wide and cross-domain engineering and architectural analyses, enterprise business process reengineering solutions, the development of enterprise service standards and processes, service performance assessments and scalability planning, and services to develop plans and strategies to implement new Service Oriented Architectures (SOA).
