CACI wins $588m task order from US Navy

CBR Staff Writer Published 03 March 2010

To enhance the command's communications and networking systems

CACI International has been awarded one of five prime contracts to support the US 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 for a three-year base and two one-year option periods. The contract ceiling for the contract is $588m.

Under the new contract, CACI will enhance the command's communications and networking systems to enable SPAWAR's end customer, the warfighter, to gain access to information more efficiently.

CACI said that the work under the contract involves helping the Navy migrate an array of legacy command and control applications; and support tasks that allow for providing tactical data to all users, regardless of diverse formats and delivery methods.

Paul Cofoni, president and CEO of CACI, said: 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.
