Harris (HRS), an international communications and information technology company, has been awarded a five-year, $26m contract to provide managed information technology offerings to the Air National Guard Network and Regional Operations and Security Centers.
The one-year, base-period contract, with four one-year options includes Tier III support for all facets of the enterprise IT system such as applications, infrastructure, vulnerability assessment, directory services, boundary protection and messaging.
Under the agreement, Harris IT Services, along with its teammates TechTeam Government Solutions and NetApp will assist the Air National Guard in this transition and consolidation by integrating services at 11 locations across the US.

John Heller, vice president and general manager of Harris IT Services, said: ANG Tier III support is critical to the operation and protection of the Air National Guard enterprise to ensure they meet the needs of its very large, distributed population. We are very pleased to partner with TechTeam and NetApp on this vital program and look forward to delivering on the necessary technological expertise during this pivotal time for the Air National Guard.
