SAIC awarded $80 million Navy tactical networks contract

Science Applications International Corp. announced on November 2 that it was awarded a prime contract by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific to continue to provide engineering services to the U.S. Navy’s afloat and ashore assets. The single award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract has a three-year base period of performance worth approximately $80 million.
