SI International awarded $5 million USSTRATCOM subcontract.

SI International, Inc. (Nasdaq:SINT), an information technology and network solutions (IT) company, announced recently that it has a subcontract with SAIC, under the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) Systems and Missions Support (USAMS) Blanket Purchase Agreement contract (BPA). The company will provide technical engineering and analysis services that support the information operations mission at Headquarters U.S. Strategic Command, Offutt AFB, NE.

Under the one-year base period and four one-year options that began on October 1, 2003, SI International will provide key information operations integration and analysis support on three separate tasks to USSTRATCOM. If all of the option years are exercised, the value of those task orders is approximately $5 million.

USSTRATCOM is responsible for providing missile warning and advocating missile warning and missile defense capabilities for all combatant commanders in addition to their information operations mission.

"SI International's strong background and expertise in information operations are a perfect fit for supporting this Command," said Brad Antle, President and Chief Operating Officer of SI International. "These task order wins demonstrate our continued focus on space systems transformation and information centric warfare."
