Serco to continue supporting US NESS

Serco has been named the sole winner on an Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (ID/IQ) contract to provide the US with life cycle sustainment, acquisition and integration support for Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (ATFP) Naval Electronic Surveillance Systems (NESS).

The five-year contract vehicle has a three-year base period and a two-year option period, with a ceiling value of US$232 million if the option years are exercised.

Under the contract, Serco will deliver technical services to the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), programme executive offices, other DoD agencies, the Department of Homeland Security, US Marine Corps and other government programmes. Serco has been performing equivalent work under predecessor contract vehicles since 2001, and has helped integrate more effective and efficient communications between federal and state and local government agencies and improve their ability to collectively respond to terrorism threats.
