Contract Award – SAIC – $106 million – Federal Aviation Administration


Today, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) announced that it has been awarded a prime contract by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide program management and technical services in support of the agency’s NextGen transformation program efforts. The indefinite-delivery/requirements contract has a total value of more than $106 million.

NextGen is a wide-ranging transformation of the entire national air transportation system. The program aims to move away from legacy ground based technologies to a new and more dynamic satellite-based technology. These new capabilities and the interdependent technologies that support them will change the way the system operates, reduce congestion, and improve the passenger experience. The contract calls for SAIC to provide program management and technical services in a broad range of task areas to include safety management systems, aeronautical communications activities, and aviation weather programs.

“The SAIC team brings a single source of specialized aviation expertise and direct NextGen-related knowledge, ” said Charles Zang, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager. “We look forward to helping the FAA phase in new technology to help relieve the growing congestion in the nation’s air transportation system.”

Work will be performed primarily in Washington, DC and at FAA locations as required.
