Information solutions and services company CACI International Inc. announced Nov. 10 it has been awarded a 7-year, $446 million prime contract to provide operations, maintenance and sustainment of the U.S. Air Force Satellite Control Network.
“We understand the Space and Missile Systems Center’s mission and the critical role it plays in our nation’s defense,” CACI Chief Operating Officer and President of U.S. Operations John Mengucci said. “Our team’s proven approach to operations, maintenance and sustainment will ensure high reliability and drive down total ownership costs over time. Our approach will speed the delivery of innovation to the center, implement efficient processes and enable faster response to changes in defense priorities.”
“CACI is committed to bringing innovation, transparency and outstanding project performance to the Space and Missile Systems Center and to all our customers,” CACI’s President and CEO Ken Asbury said. “As we successfully implement this new program, we will expand the support we provide to command and control, and large-scale global space systems sustainment programs.”
The Consolidated AFSCN Modifications, Maintenance and Operations contract combines three different efforts into a single, vertically integrated contract vehicle supporting the U.S. Air Force Space Command Space and Missile Systems Center. SMC is responsible for on-orbit check-out, testing, sustainment and maintenance of military satellite constellations and other Defense Department space systems.
The contract will assist SMC in its mission to deliver resilient and affordable space capabilities by providing reliable launch, remote tracking station, and satellite control network operations, maintenance and sustainment, to include software engineering.
The CAMMO contract was initially proposed by L-3 National Security Solutions, which CACI acquired Feb. 1, 2016, as part of its strategy to enhance CACI’s position as an innovative government solutions and services prime contractor. Harris Corp. will provide operations and maintenance support as a subcontractor to CACI on this contract.
