The U.S. Army has awarded BAE Systems a new $437 million task order to provide open source support for the Army and Army Intelligence & Security Command (INSCOM) approved partners, the McLean, VA-based company announced October 15. The task order was awarded under the U.S. General Services Administration’s (GSA) One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) multiple-award IDIQ contract and the acquisition was managed by GSA’s Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM) on behalf of the Army.
Under this task order, BAE Systems will deliver open source capabilities
derived from publicly available data to the Army. To support this activity, the
company will provide INSCOM with training, policy and governance
recommendations, assessments and implementation of emerging capabilities. BAE
Systems will also establish and manage a secure cloud hosting environment for
these activities.
“We’re proud to continue to partner with the U.S. Army and support their critical national security missions with this new capability,” said Peder Jungck, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems’ Intelligence Solutions business. “Our open source solution is designed to deliver timely, objective, and cogent information to mission-critical programs in the face of evolving threats and the continuous increase in the volume and sources of open source data.”
