MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 20 (UPI) -- The U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency will receive engineering and other support from Science Applications International Corp.

SAIC said in a news release Thursday the Total Application Services for Enterprise Requirements contract is a multiple-award vehicle with a five-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity base period.

The total value of the multiple contract is $1 billion for all awardees.

Under the TASER award, SAIC and other contractors will compete for work supporting NGA's mission in all four of the TASER functional categories: engineering and trade studies; pilots and prototypes; integration and deployment; and application sustainment.

SAIC's work on subsequent task orders will expand the company's mission capability integrator role, it said.

"We look forward to continuing our service to the NGA by evaluating and integrating new geospatial technologies and sustaining current GEOINT applications and infrastructure services," said Stu Shea, SAIC group president.

NGA is a U.S. Department of Defense combat support agency and a member of the national Intelligence Community.

The agency's mission is to provide timely, relevant and accurate geospatial intelligence in support of national security.
