Telos Awarded NETCENTS Task Order for Defense Message System Support
at Pentagon Telecommunications Center
Order with Potential $13 Million Value Includes Management, Operation
and 24x7x365 Support for Critical Messaging Nerve Center
ASHBURN, Va. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) December 9, 2008 --
The United States Army Information Technology Agency (USAITA) has
awarded Telos®
Corporation a task order to provide Defense Message System (DMS)
support at the Pentagon Telecommunications Center (PTC). The one-year
contract has a potential value of $13 million and has one option year.
Awarded from the NETCENTS contract vehicle, Telos will assist the PTC
with integrating, operating and maintaining a single, integrated Defense
Message System at three security levels. The PTC is the Army’s nerve
center in the Pentagon for operating and managing the critical IT
infrastructure related to messaging.
Under the contract, Telos will operate and maintain the DMS, providing
24x7x365 customer service support for facilities in the National Capitol
region and beyond. The scope of the work includes all functions,
services and tasks associated with the management and operation of DMS
at the PTC. These services support the PTC for all command and control
messaging systems and associated infrastructure and interfaces located
in the Pentagon and alternate locations.
“The single, integrated DMS securely sends and tracks official
communications for command and control electronic messaging, transmits
messages from one organization to another, provides orders or direction
to the receiving organization, and transmits officially recognized
intelligence information,” said Frank Whitehead, senior vice president
and general manager, Telos Secure Solutions Division. “We are pleased to
continue to ensure secure and reliable messaging in support of the
Pentagon Telecommunications Center’s operations.”
Telos has provided support to PTC for the last six years. Telos’
partners for the base year services in this contract include Data
Systems Analysts, Inc. (DSA), ICE Communications, and Web
Business Solutions. The contract also includes some optional tasking,
which Telos has teamed with Northrop Grumman, Technique Solutions, and
UHD to provide.
Telos serves as a prime contractor on the five-year, $9 billion Network
Centric Solutions (NETCENTS) contract vehicle. NETCENTS is an
indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract that provides the Air
Force, the Department of Defense and other federal agencies with a
single vehicle through which to buy network-centric information
technologies, networking equipment, and services, as well as voice,
video and data communications hardware and software and telephony
solutions from preferred contractors. NETCENTS provides a proven
competitive edge for the federal government by reducing the
time-to-market for critical networking and communications equipment and
services.
