Posted on: Tuesday, 1 September 2009, 15:05 CDT

SAN DIEGO and MCLEAN, Va., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Science Applications International Corporation (NYSE: SAI) today announced it has been awarded a prime contract by the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide operations and maintenance support to FEMA's chief information officer and Information Technology Division (ITD). The multiple award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract has a one year base period of performance, four one-year options and a $500 million contract ceiling for all awardees. Work will be performed primarily in the National Capital Region.

FEMA works to reduce loss of life and property, and protect the Nation from all hazards, including natural disasters and acts of terrorism. The agency uses a complex suite of information technology (IT) systems and services to meet these demanding mission requirements. FEMA's ITD is responsible for operation and maintenance of these IT systems and services, and must operate at the highest level of performance, and be available and reliable at all times. Under the contract, SAIC will provide services in support of the ITD including systems maintenance and sustainment; network operations and help desk support; and hardware installation. SAIC will also help consolidate FEMA's network services.

"We look forward to providing services that will help enable FEMA to rapidly respond to hazards with a reliable, secure and stable network, "said Doug Wagoner, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager. "Knowing that SAIC's support will be translated directly to fellow Americans in times of disaster makes this work a noble contribution to the National welfare."
