SAIC awarded C4ISR contract
Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) announced today it was awarded a prime contract by the US Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SSC) Atlantic to provide command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) services in support of the US Navy and Joint C4ISR systems worldwide. 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.
Under the contract, SAIC will provide support for Navy and Joint C4ISR systems located at worldwide shore and ship operational commands, centers and facilities, 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.
"We look forward to providing SSC Atlantic with operational insight and knowledge management to help successfully integrate secure solutions to help naval, joint and national agencies achieve their critical missions," said Tom Baybrook, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager.
