NASA has awarded ManTech International [MANT] a potential 10-year $450 million contract to provide a range of enterprise services for the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
The incumbent for the work had been Leidos [LDOS], which took charge of the contract when it acquired a former business segment of Lockheed Martin [LMT] last August. Lockheed Martin won the JPL enterprise services contract in 2008.
ManTech’s contract is worth $180 million over four years and two potential three-year extensions bring the potential value to $450 million. The protest period for the contract has passed.
Under the contract ManTech will provide managed information technology and communications services to transform JPL’s Institutional Computing Environment.
“This enterprise wide managed services agreement touches every facet of JPL’s vast, complex IT and communications infrastructure,” Daniel O’Keefe, president and chief operating officer of ManTech’s Mission Solutions & Services Group, said in a statement. “It will apply ManTech’s expertise in cyber, analytics, systems engineering and software, and enterprise IT for an institution known to ‘Dare Mighty Things.’”
ManTech’s contract with NASA is similar to enterprise services work it does for other federal clients including the Departments of Justice and State and the intelligence community, a company spokesman told Defense Daily. The company’s key technology partners on the JPL award are IBM [IBM] and Microsoft [MSFT], he said.
