CSC [CSC] said the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) awarded it a task order with a one-year base period and a one-year option, lifting the estimated two-year total value to $33 million, to support policy development, conduct training on procedures, and provide test management support to the Test Directorate.
The task order, awarded during CSC’s fiscal 2012 third quarter, was under the Missile Defense Agency Engineering and Support Services (MIDAESS) contract vehicle originally awarded to CSC in 2010.
Under the terms of the agreement, CSC will support test management through all phases of the MDA test concept of operations (CONOPS) process and coordinate these activities with their engineering and ballistic missile defense systems (BMDS) programs, which also includes recommending updates.
“CSC has been supporting the Missile Defense Agency and its predecessors for nearly 30 years,” said Alan Weakley, president of CSC’s North American Public Sector Defense Group. “Leveraging our experience and specialized skill set, CSC will optimize processes, procedures, and training to prove system capability and reliability prior to deployment. The importance of this optimization is recognized at both the agency and national levels and is critical in a budget-conscious environment.”
Work on the contract will be performed in Huntsville, Ala.; Colorado Springs, Colo.; and Dahlgren, Va.
