CACI Awarded Prime
Position on $453M JIEDDO Contract
May 12, 2008
The
Wexford Group International, a wholly owned company of CACI has been
awarded a five-year prime contract to continue its support for the Joint
Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO). This is one of
four awards for this indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract,
which has a ceiling value of approximately $453 million. The contract
expands the company's existing business with JIEDDO and positions CACI
as one of the premier counter-IED companies in the world. The award
strengthens CACI's functional core competency in integrated security and
intelligence solutions and leverages the strengths of the Wexford
acquisition as a centerpiece of that core competency.
JIEDDO leads all Department of Defense organizations in countering
improvised explosive devices (IEDs), via a three-pronged strategy for
defeating IEDs: attack the network, defeat the device, and train the
force. JIEDDO integrates its efforts with all the Armed Services, the
Intelligence Community, interagency organizations, and public and
private partners.
CACI currently provides JIEDDO with consulting, training, and related
services in direct support of both decision-makers and warfighters in
the field. The company's ability to deliver expert training, assessment,
and analysis helps assure mission goals are met successfully,
effectively, and on time. The company has been working with JIEDDO and
its predecessors since November 2003.
Bill Fairl, CACI President of U.S. Operations, said "Through our
acquisition of the Wexford Group and its unique history of support for
the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization, we have a
deep understanding of JIEDDO's critical mission. This enables us to
provide proven services that help JIEDDO evaluate, develop, test, and
deliver the solutions our warfighters need to defeat IEDs and neutralize
IED networks."
According to Paul Cofoni, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer,
"We are extremely proud to have the Wexford Group International on our
CACI team, providing unmatched expertise that has enabled us to expand
the integrated security and intelligence solutions we offer our clients.
This award is an important opportunity for CACI to increase our support
for America's highest priorities and provide valuable solutions that
counter terrorist threats and directly serve and protect our warfighters." |
