U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command has contracted CACI International Inc. for information technology upgrades at shipyards and maintenance centers.

Virginia-based CACI received a five-year, $150 million IT modernization deal to upgrade NAVSEA's software for maintenance applications at shipyards and maintenance centers.

NAVSEA, the Navy command in charge of maintaining the ship readiness, awarded CACI the modernization contract through the Seaport-Enhanced program. Officials say the contract also consolidates as many as 15 of NAVSEA's IT maintenance contracts at various naval facilities into one award.

"We're very pleased that this new award with the Naval Sea Systems Command dramatically expands our presence and enhances our 15-year relationship with this valued client," Bill Fairl, CACI president of U.S. operations, said in a statement.

"We're honored that they want to grow our partnership and trust us to do the right thing in the ship repair and maintenance arena."
