DHS is taking steps to upgrade its "homeland security information network." It said the revamped "HSIN NexGen" would provide a secure and trusted national platform for "sensitive but unclassified" information sharing and collaboration between federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, private sector, and international partners.
The upgraded network is intended to provide the department, its partners and stakeholders with information management capabilities and services including a portal, search, collaboration, enterprise content management, and service oriented architecture-based information integration and analysis functions to facilitate their collaboration and information sharing needs for SBU data, DHS said in a statement.
The contract went to General Dynamics for $18 million, with a total potential five-year value of $62 million.
