The Federal Emergency Management Agency has awarded CACI International a 5-year, single-award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract with a ceiling value of $48 million.
The contract calls for CACI to provide sustainment, decommissioning, construction, modernization, and environmental and historic preservation to the National Public Warning System.
CACI is proud the agency has chosen it to revamp the system, which is vital to passing on safety information to the public, said CACI President and CEO John Mengucci.
“We look forward to continuing to provide FEMA with new resilient communications technologies to ensure the American public can rely upon the NPWS during emergencies,” he added.
The NPWS is a nationwide alert and warning system that issues national emergency information to all Americans in the event of a national crisis. FEMA maintains and operates this system for the dissemination of critical national warning messages by broadcast, cable, satellite, and wireline radio and TV channels.
Under the contract, CACI will continue to provide enterprise technology to FEMA to improve the resiliency and survivability of the 77 stations nationwide with an all-hazards shelter system, including protections against High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulses.
