FAIRFAX, Va., April 14 (UPI) -- The U.S. Missile Defense Agency has contracted General Dynamics to provide the agency with infrastructure and deployment services.
The multi-award contract from MDA, an indefinite-delivery/ indefinite-quantity award, is for five years and has a $565 million ceiling value for all awardees.
The contract, however, has no initial award value.
Under the contract, General Dynamics will have an opportunity to compete for task orders to provide professional services support for infrastructure and facilities planning from the incident of attack to deployment of Ballistic Missile Defense Systems. The company will perform program management support and infrastructure logistics management and assist with facility standards, space and facility management to enhance the safety and quality of the agency's workplace environment, General Dynamics said.
General Dynamics could also provide operational fielding, sustainment and technical support for the MDA-developed systems as they are being prepared for operational use by the warfighter community.
"The General Dynamics team has continually supported several of MDA's currently deployed BMD systems since their inception," said Bill Cobb, general manager and vice president for General Dynamics Information Technology's Combat Systems sector. "Our knowledge of bases, missions, infrastructure and personnel will allow us to quickly react to changing circumstances and customer requirements to ensure the MDA is responsive when warfighters call."
