Defense contractor SAIC has won a multiyear contract worth up to $54 million from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, company officials announced Thursday.
The McLean-based company will work to improve the Integrated Weapons of Mass Destruction Toolset, a program that provides simulation exercises in chemical, biological, radiological, explosive and nuclear warfare. The agency uses the program to assess threats and develop emergency response plans.
Under the terms of the contract, SAIC will transfer the program to a Web site and design a laptop capability that will allow users to access it remotely.
The contract is an extension of a previous award that had the firm working as the lead technology integrator on phase one of the project. This contract has a three-year base period and an optional five-year extension that could total $53.9 million.
“SAIC and our team remain 100 percent committed to supporting the DTRA mission and enhancing their capabilities for agile, collaborative planning,”said Deborah James, a senior vice president with SAIC.
SAIC was awarded a $423 million contract earlier this month from the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center in Charleston.
The bulk of the work on that contract, like this one, will be performed in Washington and Virginia.
