SOS International LLC has been awarded a 3-year, $43 million task order contract to modernize and expand the coalition information sharing capabilities of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.
The task order falls under SOSi’s Mission Partner Environment contract with the Secretary of the Air Force Administrative Assistant Mission Partner Capabilities Office.
MPE is a collection of systems and networks used by the U.S. military services and combatant commands to enhance command and control capabilities and facilitate mission critical information sharing between the U.S. and its global allies supporting joint and coalition military operations.
Over two dozen nations in the Pacific theater have a daily requirement to share sensitive command and control data with U.S. warfighters, said Josh Zloba, SOSi vice president for IT solutions.
“MPE is delivering reliable services across the largest military theater in the world while ensuring data synchronization with sensors, battle networks, and information sharing systems fielded by each of the services,” he added.
The new task order aligns with SOSi’s ongoing MPE engineering and services contract that supports Joint Information Environment Command and Control requirements under the MPE program offices of USINDOPACOM, Pacific Air Forces, United States Army Pacific, Marine Forces Pacific, Pacific Fleet and Special Operations Command Pacific.
“The scope of the MPE program is rapidly expanding to incorporate operation, maintenance, sustainment, and security of DoD’s largest legacy coalition information sharing networks,” said Julian Setian, SOSi president and CEO. “Through our work on the MPE, we’ve established SOSi as a leading architect of secure, interoperable, and highly adaptable data and network-enabled capabilities that enable the U.S. government to respond to global combat and humanitarian operations quickly and effectively.”
