SAIC will produce operational satellite ground systems, sustain ground systems, and perform system administration and cybersecurity functions by carrying out systems engineering, planning, and system modifications.
Additionally, it will build and modify data centres, and integrate mission unique software and applications from various stakeholders.
The latest contract, which has a five-year base period of performance and a two-year option period, follows the original EDIS award from 31 January last year, which came after SAIC acquired Engility to expand its space services portfolio.
Work related to the contract will be performed primarily at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Colorado; Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
