ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 21 (UPI) -- Virginia's CACI International Inc. announced Tuesday a $27 million contract in support of the U.S. Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization.
Under the task order for JIEDDO's Operations and Training Division, CACI will provide subject-matter experts to support the division's knowledge base and solutions as well as other services.
JIEDDO leads the U.S. Department of Defense's global efforts to counter improvised explosive devices. Its Operations and Training Division provides expert operations, training, assessment and plans, information operations and support services to all combatant commands, the armed services, the intelligence community, interagency organizations, and public, private and international partners.
"CACI's team of seasoned counter-IED experts delivers innovative, high-value and low-risk services and solutions to the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization," Bill Fairl, CACI's president of U.S. Operations said. "We believe that not just anyone can support JIEDDO. Its missions can evolve rapidly and our personnel have the skill sets and experience to respond effectively to changing conditions."
CACI's JIEDDO team has been supporting the division and its predecessor organizations since November 2003.
The award announced Tuesday was made under the $494 million multiple-award JIEDDO Comprehensive Support Services contract that CACI announced it had won in August 2009.
