The multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract has a one-year base period of performance, six one-year options, and a contract value of more than $99 million if all options are exercised. Work will be performed primarily in Charleston, S.C. and overseas as required.

SAIC will provide support as needed on various technical systems and will provide services in areas including operations and security management, as well as help desk, training, shipping, transportation, and equipment and system related support. SAIC is one of two contractors that will compete for task orders under the contract.
