Company
to Compete for Future Federal Information Technology
Business
SEABROOK,
Md., April 18, 2006 – A team headed by Lockheed
Martin [NYSE: LMT] has been selected by the U.S. Army
to compete for up to $20 billion in future information
technology task orders under the Information Technology
Enterprise Solutions – Services (ITES-2S) contracting
vehicle.
ITES-2S
is a performance-based, indefinite-delivery-indefinite-quantity
contract established by the Army’s Program Executive
for Enterprise Information Systems and managed by the
Army Small Computer Program. It will be used by the
Army and other federal agencies to obtain IT services,
products and solutions for the next nine years. The
award to Lockheed Martin includes three base years and
three two-year options.
The
new contract continues the original ITES-Enterprise
Mission Support Services Solutions vehicle awarded to
Lockheed Martin in November 2003. Services to be provided
under ITES-2S include information security, education
and training, business process reengineering, IT services,
network support, systems operations and maintenance,
program management, and enterprise design -- all to
support the warfighter.
"ITES-2S
will be our platform for our task order growth over
the next decade as we support the Army IT enterprise.
We look forward to working with all of our teammates
and Army customers in a strong partnership in the years
ahead," said Sonia Schmitt, Capture Manager for
Lockheed Martin Information Technology’s ITES-2S
initiative, headquartered at Alexandria, Va.
The Army selected 11 companies to compete for ITES-2S
tasks which may be issued by the Army, the Defense Department
or other federal agencies to issue individual task orders.
Lockheed Martin’s teammates include CACI International
Inc., ManTech International Corp., SRA International,
Inc., PriceWaterhouseCoopers and many small business
and hardware vendor partners.
Headquartered
in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin employs about 135,000
people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research,
design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment
of advanced technology systems, products and services.
The corporation reported 2005 sales of $37.2 billion.
