Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC)

today announced it was recently awarded a task order by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to provide strategic command, control and communications (C3) system engineering and technical services in support of the Nuclear C3 System.  The single-award cost-plus award-fee (CPAF) contract has a one-year base period of performance, four one-year options, and a total contract value of approximately $18 million if all options are exercised.  Work will be performed primarily at Fort Meade, Md. The task order was awarded under DISA's ENCORE II contract. DISA provides, operates, and assures command and control, information sharing capabilities, and a globally accessible enterprise information infrastructure in direct support to joint warfighters, national level leaders, and other mission and coalition partners across the full spectrum of operations.  Under the contract, SAIC will provide strategic C3 system engineering and technical services, including in-depth system engineering, systems analysis, vulnerability analysis, program and budget analysis, and technical analysis regarding the Nuclear C3 System. Work will focus on engineering, analysis and documentation of both current and future objective architectures, as well as alternative architecture and roadmap development for evolving the Nuclear C3 System. "SAIC is pleased to have been selected to continue 25 years of uninterrupted support to DISA in its role as the US Nuclear C3 System Engineer," said Dan Harris, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager. "This work will provide analysis and integration of the Nuclear C3 System into a broader Strategic C3/National Leadership Command Capability."
