Centreville VA (SPX) Mar 24, 2021
Parsons Corporation has been awarded a shared ceiling value $250 million indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) multiple award task order contract by the Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific for research, development, test, and technical engineering for maritime intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and information operations.

The contract has a three-year base period worth $145 million and a two-year option for $105 million. Parsons will provide the U.S. Navy the ability to develop and field ISR systems that incorporate the latest capabilities for maintaining robust communication, surveillance, and security to accommodate advances in technology and other complementary systems while countering ever-increasing threats.

"As the all-domain battlespace continues evolving, we're excited to provide the Navy with capabilities that will enhance their ISR operational effectiveness, systems, and corresponding cybersecurity operations," said Chris Bush, senior vice president, and account executive of Parsons' Navy business.

"Our goal is to advance NIWC Pacific's mission effectiveness in the all-domain environment - from seabed-to-space - and empower the U.S. warfighter around the world."

The company's support to ISR systems includes surveillance programs, systems, networks, and tactical data communications systems, including automated radio communications systems, satellite terminal systems, and space, air, land and water autonomous or non-autonomous systems that could be used in ISR operations.
