SRA, a subsidiary of technology services contractor CSRA, has won a potential three-year, $35 million contract to manage and maintain the weapon system architecture of the processing, exploitation and dissemination facility of the U.S. Air Force’s Distributed Common Ground System.
The service branch awarded the time-and-materials, firm-fixed-price contract through competitive procurement with four bids received, the Defense Department said Monday.
The DCGS PED operation center has a transport mode network that works to transmit bit streams derived from serial sensors, avionics and non-serial imaging sensors, voice, imagery and other reconnaissance aircraft-derived data to various DCGS facilities for processing.
The contractor will perform work at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia through Feb. 28, 2019.
The Air Force’s AMIC DET2/PK will obligate $1.5 million from fiscal 2016 operations and maintenance funds, according to DoD.
SRA became a subsidiary of CSRA in November 2015 after Computer Sciences Corp. agreed to merge its U.S. government services unit with SRA International as part of CSC’s plans to spin off the unit.
