CHANTILLY, Va., Nov. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Perspecta Inc. (NYSE: PRSP), a leading U.S. government services provider, today announced it has received an additional eight-month extension of its Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN) contract from the U.S. Department of the Navy. This latest extension, which has a ceiling value of $485 million, provides the Navy and Marine Corps with uninterrupted IT and network security services through May 2020.  

Under NGEN, Perspecta operates the Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI), the world’s largest intranet, with approximately 350,000 seats representing 700,000 Navy and Marine Corps uniformed and civilian users, largely within the continental United States.

“Perspecta is fully prepared to continue our work, combining fresh and innovative concepts with practical solutions to meet the evolving needs of Sailors and Marines who rely on the network to support their critical missions,” said Mac Curtis, president and chief executive officer, Perspecta. “We are honored to serve the Department of the Navy, keeping the network operational and safe while setting the stage for IT modernization as they prepare for the transition to the follow-on contract.”

Today’s contract award continues the evolution of a program that began in 2000, when the Navy started a forward-leaning transformation to secure net-centric operations. Today, that program is the world’s largest secure intranet and the U.S. government’s largest IT managed services contract.
