Amentum has won a $120 million computer processing award from the Defense Information Systems Agency to deliver on-demand, dynamically scalable computing power through its Z-series chipset Processor Capacity Services contract.
“Amentum’s proven ability to manage an entire hardware lifecycle expertly suits DISA’s processing needs,” said Mark Walter, president of Amentum’s Engineering & Technology Group. “Our processor capacity solution routinely exceeds 99.999% availability, ensuring systems are performing 24/7/365. Our track record of delivery excellence in hardware lifecycle solutions over the past two decades has firmly established Amentum as a trusted prime contractor for DISA.”
Under the contract, Amentum will handle all hardware, software, licensing and operational services while DISA manages the hosting environment. DISA relies on Z-series mainframe chips for processing needs across its strategic partners, purchasing computing power as a utility instead of owning the hardware.
“DISA’s on-demand approach to computer processing provides maximum flexibility, value, and mission effectiveness,” said Travis Mackland, senior vice president of digital transformation for Amentum’s Engineering & Technology business. “The service model readily adjusts to changing requirements, including increases and decreases in power usage, allowing DISA to pay only for the computing power it uses. Amentum expertise delivers efficient, effective, and reliable solutions to support DISA’s mission.”
The Z-series chipset Processor Capacity Services, or PCS, contract includes a 5-year base period with five additional 1-year option periods.
