RESTON, Va., Oct. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos (NYSE:
LDOS), a FORTUNE 500® science and technology company, was awarded a
prime contract by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)
under the Information Technology Enterprise Management (ITEMS) User
Facing Services (UFS) program. This single-award,
indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, firm-fixed price contract
has a five-year ordering period with a total contract ceiling of
$988 million.
The ITEMS portfolio provides NGA with a bridge to the
future--delivering critical services to mission users, harnessing
the capacity of current and emerging information technology (IT)
services, and using geospatial intelligence to support
time-sensitive missions. Leidos, with its extensive enterprise IT
experience, worldwide reach and deep NGA mission knowledge, will
support the customer with their ITEMS UFS needs. The company will
effectively and efficiently transition UFS from current NGA
contracts, lead the UFS operations and sustainment and continuous
improvement of UFS, and implement special orders to support mission
needs without disrupting daily operations. The company will also
help posture NGA to transition to future Intelligence Community
Desktop Environment (DTE) service offerings.
"This opportunity strengthens our partnership with NGA, and we
look forward to continuing our collaboration in support of the
GEOINT mission," said Leidos Defense & Intelligence President
Tim Reardon.
