SAIC receives DRRS support contract from US Navy

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific has awarded a prime contract to Science Applications International (SAIC) in support of the Office of the Secretary of Defense to provide systems engineering and technical support services for defense readiness reporting system (DRRS).

SAIC Navy and Marine Corps Group senior vice president Tom Watson said, "SAIC’s past performance in systems engineering, integration, and life-cycle support for the DRRS program and other similar systems have prepared us to help our customer successfully execute this program."

Under the contract, SAIC will provide services and management support for the DRRS and its modules, including systems engineering, software design/development, systems integration, testing, installation, training, life-cycle maintenance, system documentation, procurement, and help desk services.

The company, as one of four awardees that will compete for task orders under the contract, will also provide similar support for systems that interface and exchange data with DRRS, as part of the contract.

The multiple-award, cost-plus-fixed-fee contract has a three-year base period of performance, two one-year options, and is valued at approximately $68m for all awardees, if all options are exercised.

DRRS offers the way to manage and report the readiness of the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its subordinate components to implement the national military strategy.

The system can capture and display detailed readiness data from combatant and support commands to assess DoD combatant commanders, services, and agencies with current and projected warfare mission capability.

Work under the contract will be conducted in Virginia, San Diego, California, and government facilities in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
