Continuing Work Expands Company's Role in Supporting National Security Mission of Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence

ARLINGTON, Va., April 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CACI International Inc (NYSE: CAI) announced today that it has been awarded a $32 million prime contract to continue the company's support for the Department of Defense's (DoD) Defense Security Services' (DSS) professional management, technical, and administrative services. The contract is for one base year and three option years and was made through the GSA MOBIS contract vehicle. The award, which includes significant growth, increases CACI's involvement in providing program management services in the rapidly expanding industrial security arena.

The Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence provides authority, direction and control over DSS. The agency is responsible for protecting national security assets and information in the hands of industry as part of the National Industrial Security Program (NISP) and providing integrated security services to the DoD. DSS manages personnel security investigations and supervises industrial security for approximately 12,000 cleared contractor facilities, and performs security education and awareness training for security program professionals.

CACI will draw upon its core competency of program management and systems engineering and technical assistance (PM SETA) support services to provide the bulk of cleared, administrative support to DSS, as well as a range of services that include financial management, contracts management, and facilities management of the agency's training program. The company will provide this ongoing assistance at 18 DSS offices located throughout the United States.

According to Bill Fairl, CACI's President of U.S. Operations, "CACI is pleased that this award enables us to continue assisting the Defense Security Service with its valuable work for our nation. The contract strategically positions the company for new opportunities to support the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence mission with highly experienced CACI people."
