CACI wins $2B NASA IT centralization job
The space agency is looking to standardize and consolidate how it manages IT systems and applications.
CACI International has won a potential eight-year, $2 billion task order to help NASA standardize and centralize the agency's IT assets.
The NASA Consolidated Applications and Platform Services order begins with an initial nine-month base period followed by up to seven individual option years. NASA also holds another six-month extension option after that, the space agency said Monday.
NASA is using the NCAPS initiative to consolidate how it manages IT systems and applications across the agency, which currently is done through 10 existing decentralized contracts.
CACI will be responsible for providing what the agency calls a "comprehensive enterprise solution" to achieve that overarching consolidation goal.
Work will include the maintenance of IT systems, development of new applications for NASA and efforts to rationalize duplicative efforts.
NASA awarded the order through the government Alliant 2 IT solutions vehicle.The number of bidders was not known at the time of this story's publication.
For CACI, its win of NCAPS is the newest in a string of single-award contract captures over the past 14 months with ceilings north of $1 billion.
