SPAWAR selects FGM to support NECC

RESTON, Va., July 6 (UPI) -- The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific has contracted FGM Inc. to support the Defense Information Systems Agency's Net Enabled Command Capability.

U.S. company FGM was awarded an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract worth approximately $60 million from SPAWAR Pacific to provide engineering services to the NECC. FGM will lead a team that includes Amyx Inc., CACI International Inc., DISC/BIT, Knowledge Consulting Group and TeleConsultants Inc.
