- Everforth ECS will provide management and maintenance support for a SUNet system
- The $147.8 million contract also covers plans to transition and retire the network
- The award builds on Everforth ECS’s previous SUNet support for the Army
Everforth ECS, the former ECS Federal, has received a $147.8 million contract from the U.S. Army to provide services supporting a secure unclassified network, or SUNet, legacy system and its infrastructure, the Department of War said Thursday.
What Does the Contract Cover?
Under the cost-plus-fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity award, Everforth ECS will handle management and maintenance work for the SUNet legacy network, along with transitioning and eventually decommissioning the system.
The Army said work under the contract is expected to run through Sept. 29, 2029. Locations and funding for the effort will be determined through individual task orders issued over the life of the contract.
Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, is overseeing the award. The Army said it solicited one bid for the work and received one in response.
How Does This Build on Prior Awards?
Everforth ECS has supported SUNet under previous Army contracts. In September 2021, the company received an $87 million contract modification for SUNet integration services. Similar to the new award, the contract also covered management and maintenance work, as well as development and integration support for the system. Everforth ECS performed work at its facility in Fairfax, Virginia.
The company received the initial SUNet infrastructure contract in 2019. That award had a face value of about $112.4 million if all options were exercised.
What Is Everforth ECS?
Everforth ECS is a technology firm offering advanced capabilities in AI, cybersecurity and enterprise transformation. Other focus areas of the company include cloud and infrastructure and data management.
The company rebranded from ECS Federal to Everforth ECS after parent company ASGN changed its name to Everforth in April. It has continued to secure defense work following the rebrand, including a $115.5 million Army contract in May to advance military AI and machine learning capabilities. Earlier awards include a $190.2 million contract in 2023 for the development of AI mobility and agility capabilities under Project “Runaway” and a $429.5 million task order in 2022 supporting the Army’s Network Enterprise Technology Command’s secure endpoint devices.
