NASA has announced that it is expanding its contract with
Science Applications International Corporation of San Diego
by $48 million–to provide integrated financial
management support under its “unified NASA IT
services” contract.
The agency said the modification would expand services to
its “integrated financial management program” to include
operational and network infrastructure support–and that
SAIC would, “develop module-based software enabling NASA
to add or remove interchangeable tools and systems to
the program.”
The company is also providing additional IT systems
support to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in
Huntsville, Ala.–through 2008 if the agency exercises
both contract options–bringing the contract’s value to
about $883 million, NASA said.
It said SAIC’s responsibilities there include “managing
software applications, web and computer server systems,
audiovisual information, telecommunications, information
technology security, IT procurement, documentation storage
and protection hardware maintenance.”
NASA said the UNITeS contract also supports agency-wide IT
security, encryption, computer networking, digital imaging
and IT support at its Moscow facility.
