Northrop Grumman has been awarded a follow-on contract from the Defense Logistics Agency to enhance the agency's management information system that provides federal government and U.S. Department of Defense users access to unclassified documents.

The company will also modernize the user and maintenance platforms and provide help desk technical support.

"Northrop Grumman will draw on its wide experience base to support ASSIST, as well as our comprehensive suite of innovative technologies and solutions, to deliver a world-class product to the Defense Logistics Agency," said Linda A. Mills, president of Northrop Grumman IT's Civilian Agencies group.
