The US Navy has awarded a contract to CACI International to provide communications and networking services as well as to support transport and computing infrastructure (TCI).

Under the contract, CACI will provide services to meet the US Navy’s infrastructure support needs in five task areas.

The task areas include: design, development, integration, systems engineering, interoperability, test and evaluation, trials support, software engineering, development, system programming, installation, in-service engineering and information assurance.

CACI US operations chief operating officer and president John Mengucci said the company will work with the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic (SPAWAR) to provide the high-quality, high-value services the US Navy needs to fulfill its mission.

"This new work in communications and networking services positions us to expand our business in our high-volume enterprise IT market area."

The contract has one base period of performance and four one-year options and is expected to have a ceiling value of $899m for all multiple awardees.

CACI president and chief executive officer Ken Asbury said: "This new work in communications and networking services positions us to expand our business in our high-volume enterprise IT market area. Our growth strategy involves a focus on winning large contract vehicles, like this one, that enable us to help our customers fulfill their most critical missions."

In addition, the multiple-award indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity task order represents one of several pillar contracts, designed to support the entire spectrum of non-inherently governmental services and solutions associated with full system lifecycle support for mission areas within the TCI portfolio for the SPAWAR.
