CACI Lands $26M U.S.
Army Force Contract
August 21, 2008
CACI
International has been awarded an estimated $26 million task order
contract to support the U.S. Army Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3, Director
of Force Management. The five-year award (one base year, four option
years) was made under CACI's Information Technology Enterprise Solutions
2 Services (ITES-2S) contract vehicle with the Army. Under the terms of
the award, CACI will provide operations, maintenance, and enhancement
support for the Army's Force Management System (FMS). The award is
primarily new work for CACI while also continuing several tasks CACI
currently performs for this client. With the contract, CACI expands its
functional core competency in business system solutions.
The Army Director of Force Management documents and authorizes the
personnel and equipment resources required to meet the Army's strategic
and mission objectives. FMS modernizes several legacy systems to enable
the Army to manage force structure in new, more efficient ways,
streamline exchange of data between Army and Defense Department systems,
and improve legacy business processes.
CACI's role focuses on FMS software development, supporting the design,
development, and fielding of the modernized application. This includes
providing information assurance solutions to ensure the security of the
new system and data. At the same time, CACI will maintain legacy
applications until they are integrated into FMS, including one
application the company already supports. CACI will also provide program
management support.
A
key factor in CACI's selection is the company's credentials in quality
software development. CACI has been rated at Maturity Level 3 of the
Software Engineering Institute's Capability Maturity Model® Integration
(CMMI®). CMMI Level 3 assures clients of an industry-recognized,
high-level set of best practices for systems and software engineering
solutions.
Bill Fairl, CACI President of U.S. Operations said, "CACI offers the
Army considerable experience supporting its Force Management System,
assuring rapid contract start-up and continuous high-quality service.
Our certified expertise in software development, backed by a solid
understanding of the FMS technical environment and the Army's manpower
and resources goals, will help the Army meet its needs effectively and
on time."
Paul Cofoni, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We're
very pleased the U.S. Army has selected CACI for the continued
modernization of its Force Management System. This award is a key step
in expanding CACI's business in force structure and resource management
for America's military and growing our core competency in business
system solutions." |
