VIENNA, VA--(Marketwire - January 26, 2009) - AnviCom, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Command Information, the premier provider of next generation network
services, today announced that it has been awarded a contract by the U.S.
Transportation Command to provide modernization and lifecycle engineering
support for a mission-critical supply chain system for the Army's Military
Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC). The contract, awarded
through the GSA Schedules program, is for one base year with four option
years and is valued at $33 million, if all options are exercised.
"The ability to manage cargo at sea is an essential capability for today's
'on-the-move' military," said Mike Proper, Vice President of Business
Development and Sales, Federal Division, Command Information. "Through
this project, we will better enable SDDC's supply chain and ultimately
better enable the warfighter. We are extremely excited to initiate work on
this program."
Under the terms of the agreement, Command Information will provide its
engineering services for the development and operation of the Integrated
Booking System (IBS). Used by all military services, Joint organizations,
commercial businesses, and federal civilian agencies, the IBS is the lead
execution system for the worldwide surface movement of military cargo
overseas. The IBS consists of 12 integrated software modules that support
the entire set of business processes for forecasting, acquiring, executing,
and tracking ocean cargo movements around the globe -- in peacetime and in
war.
"As a U.S. Army command, SDDC is a world-class organization that provides
responsive, reliable, and cost-effective logistics support to the
warfighter," said Proper. "We will be working with an exceptional team --
including Nortel Government Solutions, QinetiQ North America, and JAC
Consulting -- to support this mission-critical agency. We look forward to
the challenge."
