"The contract provides a full range of primary data processing and support services -- hardware and software, system back up, disaster recovery, operations, migration, and acceptance testing. And, it can be used by civilian and military Federal agencies and eligible private concerns that operate data centers dedicated to supporting Federal Government agencies.
