Vencore, Inc. of Chantilly, VA announced on June 23 that it was awarded a $10 million sole source indefinite quantity/indefinite delivery (ID/IQ) program with Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM to support the development and testing of military-use applications including radar, satellite and telemetry software. Projects under this contract will include providing mission-critical support for nuclear detonation detection system, mobile radar tagging/tracking/locating, synthetic aperture radar, and other classified programs.
Vencore’s scope of work on this program includes custom software development, formal software and system testing, documentation and training. Vencore’s intimate knowledge of custom systems, longstanding relationship with Sandia National Laboratories and innovative methods for resolving database conflicts are among the reasons that it was selected as the vendor to perform this work.
“For more than 30 years, Vencore has provided highly specialized services to Sandia National Laboratories,” said Mac Curtis, president and CEO of Vencore. “This award solidifies our relationship and demonstrates the confidence we have earned in developing highly complex, unique solutions that solve the most difficult challenges our customers face.”
Advanced scoring methodology for training and cross-platform Web hosting of multiple map data sources will also be performed by Vencore on this critical program. It will also customize a method to simulate 3D audio and provide expertise in custom XML schema.
Work on the program is scheduled to commence immediately.
Sandia National Laboratories is operated and managed by Sandia Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation. Sandia Corporation operates Sandia National Laboratories as a contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and supports numerous federal, state, and local government agencies, companies, and organizations.
