Mission capability integrator and transformative enterprise IT provider Peraton has won a nearly $1 billion task order to provide the Defense Department, U.S. Central Command and its mission partners with services to achieve operational advantages in the information space and to counter threats to U.S. national security.
The task order is worth up to $979 million over a 5-year period.
The task order calls on Peraton to increase the ability of USCENTCOM and its mission partners to coordinate, collaborate and fuse information related capabilities and information operations, helping the U.S. extend its competitive advantage to achieve national security objectives.
“Peraton is committed to successfully enhancing the information operations function of USCENTCOM and its mission partners,” said Tom Afferton, president of the Cyber Mission sector.
Peraton has supported this work since 2016 under USCENTCOM’s Counter Threat Messaging Support Program. The new task order represents a nearly 100% increase in the work scheduled to be executed.
“Our ability to provide the U.S. government with insight, expertise, and influence helps ensure the safety of Americans, our allies, and the more than 550 million people under USCENTCOM area of responsibility, spanning three continents and 20 nations,” Afferton said. “We are proud to continue our critical work advancing U.S. national security interests.”
