Herndon-based tech company Serco Inc. (a subsidiary of United Kingdom-based Serco Group plc) has been awarded a potential eight-year, $600 million contract by the U.S. Navy to support its Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) Ashore Sustainment Program.
With an initial delivery order worth $153 million, Serco will support the program by providing software, hardware and firmware maintenance services. The contract terms require Serco to work on life cycle sustainment of physical security/access control and command, control, communications, computers and intelligence (C4ISR) systems in support of Commander, Naval Installation Command’s AT/FP program worldwide.
The company will also work to update government technologies through incorporation of new system capabilities and cybersecurity innovations. In addition, Serco will provide full life cycle sustainment of AT/FP assets at Navy installations worldwide. This latest IDIQ contract provides Serco to continue supporting the service branch drive to improve its capabilities.
“Serco has been providing unique AT/FP Ashore System service for the U.S. Navy since 2003. Since then, we have increased our worldwide deployment team significantly,” said Dave Dacquino, chairman and CEO of Serco, in a statement.
Serco has approximately 8,000 employees and annual revenue of $1 billion. Serco is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Serco Group plc.
