Navy Awards $249M Support Contract to McKean

The U.S. Navy has awarded McKean Defense Group an eight-year, maximum $249M cost-plus-fixed-fee, firm-fixed-price contract supporting Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific.

Under the agreement, McKean will provide integration, engineering and support for command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and shore platforms. The company will perform tasks covering project management, administration, drafting, technical integration, testing, maintenance, engineering, logistics, facilities and security for software and hardware of new and existing C4ISR systems and networks, McKean said Thursday.

Specific task orders will include research, development test and evaluation engineering studies and software development for a variety of systems.

Joseph Carlini, CEO of McKean Defense, said the contract win expands his firm's installation, network and security engineering support portfolio to the Pacific Rim region.

Work on the effort will be executed by McKean's Cabrillo Technologies business unit and will be performed in the Indo-Asia-Pacific Region and Navy Region Southwest, as well as outside continental United States locations.
