WASHINGTON - The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has awarded a technical support services task order to SRA International Inc. on behalf of the U.S. Marine Corps.

GSA's Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM), a program of the Federal Technology Service (FTS), made the award through GSA's Millennia contract. If all options are exercised over the seven years, the task order will have a value of over $115 million.

Supporting the U.S. Marine Corps Command, Control, Communications, and Computers (C4) at Headquarters U.S. Marine Corps, the scope of work for this task order includes IT-related planning, analysis, coordination, design, and development support for military personnel engaged with the enemy and the IT infrastructure that supports those personnel.

"This task order incorporates the key components of high quality, cost effective IT integration, development, and project management services that are the hallmark of FTS's FEDSIM program and Millenia contract," said FTS Commissioner Sandra Bates. "We're confident that this solution offers the technical expertise and flexibility to meet the needs of the U.S. Marine Corps C4."

FEDSIM offers a wide range of support for planning, developing, acquiring, implementing, maintaining, and managing IT resources and support services. Managing over $1.4 billion in new IT acquisitions in 2002, FEDSIM has a proven track record of developing innovative and award-winning solutions to government IT problems and satisfying requirements for specific IT products and services.
