Technology Consultancy CSC Awarded $368 Million U.S. Navy Engineering Task Order

CSC (NYSE: CSC) announced today that the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has awarded the company a task order to continue providing professional engineering support services. The contract has a one-year base period and four one-year options, bringing the estimated total five-year contract value to $368 million. CSC won the competitively awarded task order under the SeaPort Enhanced contract vehicle, originally awarded in 2004. This contract was awarded to CSC during the company's fiscal 2009 third quarter. CSC's work under the new task order continues the company's support to the NAVSEA engineering directorate which began more than three decades ago.

Under the terms of the new agreement, CSC will continue to provide support for naval ship preliminary design and contract design; oversight of detailed design and construction efforts; and engineering support for all types of ships. Additionally, CSC will continue to provide engineering and management support across all ship design, acquisition and life-cycle phases, and will remain actively engaged in advanced ship, vehicle and future fleet force development.

"For more than 30 years, CSC has maintained an innovative, proactive partnership with NAVSEA, and we are committed to delivering responsive and cost effective support to help meet their mission critical requirements," said James W. Sheaffer, president of CSC's North American Public Sector line of business. "We are proud that the Navy continues to count on us for our depth and breadth of superior technical staff, and our history of exceptional support to all phases of NAVSEA programs."

The CSC team, comprised of more than 55 specialty engineering subcontractors and consultants, includes CDI Marine, of Severna Park, Md.; Marine Systems Corporation, of Boston, Mass.; Reliability and Performance Technologies Inc., of Dublin, Pa.; and Zimmerman Associates Inc., of Fairfax, Va.
