CACI International Inc announced today that it has been awarded three new task orders, totaling an estimated $57.4 million in value, under its Strategic Services Sourcing (S3) contract with the U.S. Army. The awards support the Army's Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC) Night Vision & Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD).
Under the terms of contract, CACI will provide both professional services and technical assistance to the NVESD. The awards represent the expansion of support CACI is already providing NVESD, and increase CACI's business in the area of Army C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance).
With these three awards, CACI becomes the leading S3 prime contractor in the value of task orders awarded. Since receiving the S3 contract in March 2006, CACI has won nearly one third of all awarded S3 task orders, for a total of more than $975 million in awards.
The NVESD awards include an estimated $28.1 million task order, with a two-year base period and two one-year options, to support the Army's Ground Applications Program Office. For this task, CACI will provide technical support to the Army to integrate systems for use in hand-held night-vision and optical products for the Army's Special Forces. The second NVESD award is an estimated $16.4 million task order, with a two-year base period and a one-year option, to support Advanced Laser Payloads.
For this task, CACI will provide technical assistance to help the Army research and design lasers and sensors for uses that include range finders and laser radar. The third NVESD award, an estimated $12.9 million task order with a two-year base period and a one-year option, supports NVESD's Countermine Branch. On this effort, CACI will provide technical services that assist the Army in developing programs for such efforts as detecting and neutralizing land mines.
According to Bill Fairl, President of U.S. Operations, "The capabilities CACI offers help the U.S. Army stay one step ahead of our adversaries' ability to develop new and more deadly weapons. From optical technologies that give our troops 'control over the night,' to laser systems that can identify and guide weapons to targets, CACI's support helps the Army protect our troops and defeat the enemy."
CACI President and CEO Paul Cofoni said, "CACI has won nearly one billion dollars in Strategic Services Sourcing task orders because we make it our number one priority to support our nation's greatest challenges. With S3, we are privileged to provide direct support to our warfighters to counter terrorist threats. Our ongoing goal is to serve as a valued national asset to all our clients in support of America's national security."
