The contract, which has a three-year base period and four three-year options, has an estimated value of $762 million if all options are exercised.
The contract was awarded to CSC’s DynCorp Technical Services, a unit that is not being divested under a previously announced Dec. 12, 2004 agreement to sell selected DynCorp business units.
Under the contract, CSC’s Federal Sector business unit will support AUTEC through services that include the scheduling and conduct of test programs; operation of range instrumentation and test support systems; and performance of all base operations functions. Work will be performed at locations including Andros Island, the Bahamas, West Palm Beach and Cape Canaveral, Fla., and Yorktown, Va.
AUTEC is a major range and test facility base that provides both deep and shallow water test and training environments for the US Navy.
CSC will subcontract portions of the contract to KIRA, Inc. for Bahamian base operations support, and Gulfstream International Airlines for airline service.
