Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) today announced it was awarded a multiple-award indefinite-delivery/ indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ)contract by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic (SPAWARSYSCEN Atlantic) to help procure and deliver command and control (C2)equipment and services. The contract has a one-year base period of performance, four one-year options and a ceiling value of $500 million for all awardees. Work will be performed in Abingdon, Md., and Charleston, S.C.
