The deal also includes modernization and decommissioning of existing systems, engineering design, project and program management, end-user training, troubleshooting, industrial work and operational verification services, the Pentagon said in a press release.

The term C4ISR broadly encompasses data collection and information, leading to decision-making, communication and battlespace awareness. The new contract covers all of the Naval Informatin Warfare Systems Command.

The companies will compete for task orders over the course of the 10-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract.

The deal covers an five-year initial term, with another five years as an option, which would have the contract run through September 2029.
