Red River serves SPAWAR Systems Center Atlantic, DoD and federal agencies with new command and control contract

Claremont, NH-based Red River, a leading technology integrator, announced on July 20 that it was awarded a new contract by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWARSYSCEN) Atlantic. The multiple-award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract is worth a maximum of $750 million annually with a five-year period of performance (including four option years).

“Red River is proud and excited to have yet another opportunity to serve our warfighters and to assist SPAWAR Systems Center Atlantic in achieving it mission to secure America and promote global freedom,” said Jeff Sessions, Red River President.

Under the new contract, Red River will support SPAWAR Systems Center Atlantic (SSC LANT) in Charleston, South Carolina with providing SPAWAR and other DoD and Federal Agencies with relevant Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Command and Control (C2) equipment, software and hardware, licenses, and incidental services necessary to perform and fulfill the SPAWAR mission.

The SPAWARSYSCEN C2 program will be managed by Patty Bortz of Red River, who recently joined the company’s Strategic Programs Team as Program Manager. Ms. Bortz will work directly with the Navy Account Team to ensure that Red River is fulfilling the needs of the Navy under this powerful new purchasing vehicle.
