CACI International said that it has been awarded an $81m task order by the US Army to support the transition of command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) resources to the Aberdeen Proving Ground. The move is mandated by the Defense Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission.
The contract is for a period of 27 months and was awarded under the General Services Administration’s Logistics Worldwide (LOGWORLD) contract vehicle. The new work realigns organisations currently located at Ft. Monmouth, NJ, Ft Belvoir, VA, Eatontown, NJ, Huntsville, AL, and Fort Knox, KY.
The transition includes the planning/preparation, disassembly, transport, and synchronised reconstitution of an array of components involving information technology, systems engineering, and network automation, the company said.
CACI said that the actions will cover more than 120 technical and complex communications, electronics research, and development laboratories; 100,000 pieces of communications-electronics test equipment, IT equipment, and other components; design, fabrication, and integration facilities; and an array of classified equipment and technology.
Under the contract, the CACI team will provide overall project management, client interface and relationship management, and coordinated technical execution of all work elements. It is already performing the BRAC work for the Army’s Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Centre (CERDEC) Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate (I2WD) under another contract from the Army.
According to CACI, the new program supports the relocation of all elements of the CERDEC; the communications-electronics command life cycle management command headquarters and key organisations.
Paul Cofoni, president and CEO of CACI, said: “With this new work, we’re very pleased to help assure the smooth transition to Aberdeen of these vital components to support our warfighters as they keep our country safe. It’s important to note that a majority of the support in the areas of communications, electronics, and intelligence operations for our nation’s in-theater efforts emanates from the commands and organisations that will be moving to Aberdeen.”
