SRC is to provide intelligence mission data (IMD) support services to the US Air Force’s National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) under a General Services Administration blanket purchase agreement announced on 28 October.
Under the agreement, SRC will provide the services for five base years and a potential five additional option years as one of two contractor teaming arrangement awardees. As a team lead, SRC will work with teammates including Altamira, Booz Allen Hamilton, Dynetics and Macauley-Brown.
