The contract has a total estimated value of $201 million if all options are exercised.  It includes one-base year and four one-year options periods.

Under the contract, Serco will continue to provide life-cycle sustainment of physical security/access control and command, control communications, and computers and intelligence (C4I) systems to ensure the continuous operation and advancement of the PS2-EA, previously known as the Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) Electronic Surveillance Systems (ESS).

The scope of Serco’s work extends to installation, integration, testing and evaluation, maintenance and supply/logistics support.

Additionally, Serco will be deploying the Physical Security Information Management System (PSIM). PSIM is a smart coordinator that seamlessly integrates data from various security systems. This advanced system presents information in a clear and accessible manner to the appropriate authorities. By doing so, Serco empowers security personnel with the tools needed to make informed decisions and efficiently manage a spectrum of security technologies, ensuring a robust and effective security ecosystem.

“Serco has been at the forefront of delivering anti-terrorism, force protection technology services to the US Navy globally since 2003,” said Tom Watson, Serco Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer. “This contract award underscores our commitment to the mission and I commend the exceptional Serco team for their role in providing these mission-critical services.”
