The U.S. Navy will award up to $144.9 million to a group of companies for technical and engineering support at command and control centers under an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract.
According to a Wednesday Defense Department release, the cost-plus-fixed-fee award will contain firm-fixed-price provisions.
Awardees will provide program management, integrated logistics support, configuration and data management, direct customer support and security engineering.
Winning companies include:
- L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL)
- Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE: LMT)
- M.C. Dean
- QinetiQ North America
- SAIC Inc. (NYSE: SAI)
- Serco Inc.
Work will occur in Charleston, S.C., Washington, San Diego, New Orleans and Norfolk, Va.
The Pentagon expects work to finish by May 2013 and said work could continue into 2015 if all options are exercised.
The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic in Charleston is the contracting activity and funding will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
Earlier this month, the Navy awarded BAE Systems, L-3, M.C. Dean and SAIC positions on a $228 million contract for electronic infrastructure support and protection services.
On that award, the companies will support electronic security systems, emergency management and law enforcement technology, enterprise systems and engineering network systems.
