$28 million contract will enhance cyber
posture
Engility Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:EGL) announced today the company
won a $28 million contract with the Department of Defense to
support its Damage Assessment Management Office and Joint
Acquisition Protection and Exploitation Cell to safeguard critical
acquisition programs and technologies from foreign
exploitation.
“Protecting our weapons systems from foreign hackers is critical
to preserving our national security,” said Lynn Dugle, Engility
CEO. “We value this opportunity to partner with the DOD to enhance
the safety of the warfighter, improve the resilience of our defense
systems, and deter, deny and disrupt all cyberattacks.”
DOD technology is complex and requires years of research and
development. Keeping that controlled technical information secure
is crucial to the success of our military. Engility will work with
departments and agencies from the counterintelligence, intelligence
and law enforcement communities to assess any existing information
exploitation in U.S. defense systems, address vulnerabilities and
mitigate future attacks. The program will help protect the
government throughout the manufacturing supply chain.
This third quarter 2017 contract win has a cost plus fixed-fee
structure with a one-year base and four option years. The win
represents new work for Engility and furthers the company’s
relationship with small business subcontract partner Systems
Planning and Analysis, Inc. SPA has been a mission partner of DAMO
and JAPEC since 2005 and 2014 respectively, and Engility has served
with the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems
Engineering since 2010.
