CACI Wins $588M Navy
SPAWAR Deal
March 8, 2010
CACI
International has been awarded one of five prime contracts to support
the U.S. Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command's (SPAWAR)
command and control (C2) operations. The multiple-award, five-year
indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) task order contract was
awarded to CACI for a three-year base and two one-year option periods.
The contract ceiling for CACI's contract is $588 million. The new award
calls for CACI to enhance the command's communications and networking
systems to enable SPAWAR's end customer – the warfighter – to gain
access to mission critical information more efficiently.
This award allows CACI to offer its enterprise information technology
and network services methodology to the customer by bringing common
technologies together to meet mission requirements. Work under the
contract involves helping the Navy migrate a wide array of legacy
command and control applications and support tasks to a more fully
integrated service approach. This will allow for an easier, more
efficient method of providing tactical data to all users, regardless of
diverse formats and delivery methods.
SPAWAR is the Navy's premier Command, Control, Communications,
Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) command
for acquisition and life-cycle management of communications and warfare
systems. Under a variety of contracts since 1981, CACI has supported the
command with solutions that include software development, enterprise
resource planning, network engineering, software testing and
certification, and training. This gives CACI in-depth experience in the
client's technical environment and user requirements to support work
performed under this new contract.
According to Bill Fairl, CACI's President of U.S. Operations, "We are
very pleased that the Navy's Command and Control Program Office has
demonstrated its confidence in CACI's people, processes, and tools by
awarding us this significant contract to support the warfighter. It's
gratifying to be recognized for our record of outstanding past
performance, our value-focused approach, and our long tradition of
exceptional service to the fleet."
CACI President and CEO Paul Cofoni observed that, "With this important
award, SPAWAR allows us to expand our already significant presence in
the C4ISR community and continue our legacy of technical excellence and
support. Enhancing the Navy's IT and network capabilities will play an
important role in upgrading command and control operations to better
serve the needs of our operating forces as they carry out their missions
around the world." |
