CHANTILLY, Va., April 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Perspecta Inc.
(NYSE: PRSP), a leading U.S. government services provider,
announced today it has received a four-month, $62 million extension to its current Next
Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN) contract with the U.S.
Department of the Navy to continue providing end-user hardware
services.
With this extension, Perspecta will deliver various end-user
hardware services through July 2020,
providing additional time for the orderly transition of those
services to the NGEN-R End User Hardware (EUH) contract.
Under the current NGEN program, Perspecta operates the Navy
Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI), the world's largest intranet, with
approximately 300,000 seats representing 700,000 Navy and Marine
Corps uniformed and civilian users, largely within the continental
United States.
"We know firsthand how complex any transition on this network
can be and remain committed to providing uninterrupted service to
the Sailors and Marines that depend on us," said Mac Curtis, president and chief executive
officer, Perspecta. "The Navy and Marine Corps can continue to
count on us for steadfast support and dedication to their mission,
which we have provided them for nearly two decades. We look forward
to leveraging our knowledge and experience to support their
evolving needs."
This contract extends Perspecta's support of a program that
began in 2000, when the Navy started a forward-leaning
transformation to secure net-centric operations. Today, that
program is the world's largest intranet, the most secure IT
platform in the U.S. Department of Defense, and the U.S.
government's largest IT managed services contract.
