Leidos announced on December 12 that it was awarded a prime contract by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to provide network services under the Global Solutions Management – Operations (GSM-O) II contract. The single award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, hybrid contract has a five-year base period of performance followed by two two-year option periods and a final one-year option period, at a ceiling value of $6.5 billion. Work will be performed on a global scale with significant domestic workforce in Scott Air Force Base, Ill., Honolulu, HI, Tampa, Fla., Ft. Meade, Md., and Ogden, UT.
Under the agreement,
Leidos will operate, defend, and sustain the Department of Defense Information
Network / Defense Information System Network (DoDIN/DISN). This critical system
securely connects more than three million end users at more than 3,000
Department of Defense and federal sites around the world. Key services to
be provided include network operations and sustainment, network maintenance and
repair, and network cybersecurity assurance.
“Leidos is proud
to modernize and operate the information network that connects warfighters and
government leaders around the world,” said Gerry Fasano, Leidos Defense
Group president. “We will continue to work alongside DISA to align our
network solutions with their mission evolution.”
“DISA is a
critical support agency for our troops,” said C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger,
U.S. congressman representing Maryland’s 2nd congressional
district. “This contract is vitally important to ensuring our Armed
Services and Department of Defense can communicate uninterrupted and securely
worldwide. I congratulate Leidos and all of its employees on this award and
thank them for their continued support of DISA. “
“DISA is an important agency supporting our national security decision makers, warfighters, and partners around the world,” said Anthony Brown, U.S. congressman representing Maryland’s 4th district. “I congratulate Leidos on this award to strengthen the Department of Defense’s information network, and I will continue to support the workers who help accomplish DISA’s combat support mission every day.”
