The five year contract and options are valued at $131 million. The contract was initially awarded in December 2015 and a stop work order was issued due to a protest which has been resolved.
Serco will provide critical preventive and corrective maintenance, information assurance, asset management, technical systems updates, service call resolution, and configuration management for C4I systems. Serco has been performing sustainment support for over 13 years under various Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) contracts. The Company expects to hire approximately 60 new technicians to support the work at naval bases around the world.
“We are excited that the Navy turned to Serco to support this growing programme that keeps the Navy’s C4I systems operational and our warfighters safe,” said Dan Allen, Chairman and CEO of Serco Inc. “I am proud of the team here at Serco for winning this new contract. We utilised our decade-long experience and innovation to design a winning solution for the Navy.”
