FAIRFAX, Va., Feb. 9 (UPI) -- ManTech International of Virginia has received a $322 million U.S. Army task order for Field Software and Systems Engineering Support.
The award has an initial performance period of 12 months, plus one additional option year.
ManTech said it received the order under its Strategic Services Sourcing prime contract to support the operations of the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Management Command's Software Engineering Center Field Support Directorate.
Under the contract, ManTech will help the Army improve overall field software and systems worldwide to support the Army's evolving tactical command, control, communications, computer intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance efforts.
It also will provide software and systems engineering support for C4ISR and related battle command and management information systems connected to Army, joint and coalition networks and infrastructures.
