Unisys Corporation
announced today that it has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) Border Enforcement and Management Systems Program
Office (BEMS) to operate, manage and enhance systems used to improve security
at America's borders and ports of entry.
This single-award, indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract has
a one-year base period and four one-year option periods. All options are
exercisable at the discretion of the government. The government may order work
by issuing task orders for specific services under the IDIQ contract. The
contract has a ceiling value of $460 million.
The award represents new work that significantly builds upon Unisys' success
as an industry partner to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for more than a
decade.
BEMS, part of the CBP Office of Information and Technology, is responsible for
supporting the design, development, testing, implementation, training, and
maintenance of CBP information technology systems. BEMS systems support CBP's
key border enforcement activities conducted by CBP's operational offices. BEMS
also supports CBP's administrative office systems ranging from its public
website to core personnel and financial management systems to applications
that track and record border intercepts and seized property.
Unisys' work on the BEMS contract is expected to include enhancements and
modernization of existing BEMS systems as well as potentially developing new
systems to meet evolving border security requirements.
"This new work builds upon Unisys' successful partnership with CBP and
broadens our longstanding support of the mission-critical solutions that help
protect the U.S. homeland," said Steve Soroka, group vice president for
homeland security at Unisys Federal Systems. "Unisys is extremely pleased to
have the opportunity to support BEMS and expand our partnership with CBP
through this new work."
