SMX has won a potential seven-year, $3.2 billion task order to continue providing command, control, computers, communications, combat systems, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, or C6ISR, capabilities across all domains for Special Operations Command Pacific and its mission partners supporting U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.
The digital technology company said Tuesday the General Services Administration’s Assisted Acquisition Services competed and awarded the Long-Range Enterprise Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Activity task order, or LEIA, under the data operations pool of the ASTRO indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract.
Work on the single-award LEIA task order could run through 2031 if all options are exercised.
SMX will support the task order using its expertise in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analytics and building its ISR and partner nation capacity enhancements delivered across the Indo-Pacific region under the predecessor task order C3PO, which stands for Combatant Commands C5ISR-Pacific Operations.
LEIA Task Order
LEIA is a multiyear program that seeks to acquire a wide spectrum of commercial data and AI-driven analytics to facilitate the integration of information from ground, space and aerial platforms to monitor potential threats in the Indo-Pacific region.
According to SMX, over 30 companies were eligible to bid on the task order.
