CACI Awarded $91.7M Logistics Contract To Support U.S. Army Tactical Radio Communications Systems
Arlington, VA - CACI International Inc. announced recently that it has been awarded a new task order, with an estimated $91.7M value, under the Strategic Services Sourcing (S3) contract with the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Life Cycle Management Command that CACI was awarded in March 2006. CACI is one of just seven prime contractors on the S3 program, which has a total estimated ceiling value of $19.25B. The new award, which has a 24-month base and two 12-month options, calls for CACI to provide logistics support services to a new client for the company, the U.S. Army Project Manager, Tactical Radio Communications Systems (PM TRCS). CACI has now been awarded an estimated $225M in S3 task orders in just the first six months of the contract, according to company.
Providing what is often called the "last mile" in the global connectivity grid, tactical radio communication systems connect warfighters and first responders to each other and to military and government decision-makers. The PM TRCS fields more than 150 such systems across 54 U.S. states and territories in direct support of homeland security. In the global war on terrorism, the PM TRCS supports all the armed services with airborne and ground-based radio communications that enable the exchange of situational awareness data and voice communications to support a wide range of tactical operations.
CACI's role includes helping the Army oversee the development and fielding of tactical communications systems. Engineering experts from the CACI team will help monitor the manufacture and testing of both original and reengineered systems, to ensure specifications and schedules are met and costs are contained. In parallel, CACI logistics specialists will assist the PM TRCS office in planning how systems are distributed and deployed to troops in the field, how related supplies are allocated, and how training is developed and scheduled to ensure the highest levels of warfighter readiness.
