Teen solves centuries-old math problem
ARLINGTON, Va., April 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army has picked Virginia's CACI as a prime contractor to provide mobilization and deployment planning support services, the company said Thursday.
The multi-award contract for support to the Army Forces Command -- a follow on to the command's Operations, Planning, Training and Resource Support Services II contract -- carries a ceiling value of $2.5 billion.
"CACI has an excellent record of performance in providing task order support on large contracts throughout the Department of Defense," Bill Fairl, CACI president of U.S. Operations said. "On the original OPTARSS contract, we won the most task orders and had the largest revenue stream of any contractor.
"On OPTARSS II, the CACI team will continue to provide the high-value services and solutions that we are known for and that best meet the U.S. Army's needs."
FORSCOM trains, mobilizes, deploys, sustains, transforms and reconstitutes conventional forces in order to provide a sustained flow of relevant and ready land power to combatant commanders worldwide.
OPTARSS II is the preferred contract vehicle for FORSCOM and the U.S. Army to obtain a spectrum of mission-critical support services.
Thirteen contractors will compete for OPTARSS II work in eight primary task areas: operational planning, training, modeling and simulation, flight operations, mobilization plans and execution, deployment operations, force protection program and transformation.
The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity award has a one-year base period and four option years.
