Multimax Wins Task Order for Air Force Software Asset Management Pilot.

LARGO, Md. -- Multimax, Inc. announced today that it has won an Air Force task order for a Software Asset Management (SAM) pilot system.

The order was issued to Multimax under the Air Force Network-Centric Solutions (NETCENTS) contract, following competitive bidding among NETCENTS contract holders.

NETCENTS is a five-year, $9 billion acquisition initiative to provide Air Force, Department of Defense, and other Federal agencies with the complete range of Information Technology (IT), Networking, Telephony, and Security services, solutions and products. Multimax is one of eight NETCENTS prime contractors.

NETCENTS is intended as a "mandatory use" contract across the Air Force.

Under the new task order, Multimax will lead a team in providing analysis, design and implementation of a SAM pilot system meeting Air Force objectives and capable of expansion into an Air Force Enterprise IT Management (AFEITM) system. The SAM pilot is the first step in developing a suite of network-based asset management tools that can track, manage and inventory both hardware and software resources, including software licenses.
