MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 19 — (PRNewswire) — Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) (NYSE: SAI) today announced it has been awarded the Total Application Services for Enterprise Requirements (TASER) contract by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) to research and implement innovative solutions to emerging critical geospatial intelligence requirements. The multiple award, indefinite-deliver/indefinite-quantity contract has a five-year base period and a total value of $1 billion for all awardees.
NGA is a DoD combat support agency and a member of the national Intelligence Community. The agency's mission is to provide timely, relevant, and accurate geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) in support of national security.
