The U.S. Army Communication-Electronics Life Cycle Management Command, C-E LCMC, has awarded Lockheed Martin a Strategic Services Sourcing (S3) contract to provide support for command, control, communication, computer, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. The S3 contract is a ten- year, $19.25 billion indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracting vehicle with a base of five years and one five year option.

Under S3, Lockheed Martin will provide the Army with engineering, logistics, and business operations services. Lockheed Martin Systems Management leads a diverse team including fellow Lockheed Martin companies: Information Technology, Technical Operations, Integrated Systems & Solutions, Systems Integration-Owego, and Maritime Systems & Sensors. The team also includes twelve large business partners, twenty-five small business partners, and the Tobyhanna Army Depot.

"We are pleased to have the opportunity to serve the Army on this critical program," said Judy Burke, Vice President IDIQ Solutions for Lockheed Martin Systems Management. "Our strong record of past performance managing IDIQ contracts and task orders will help us serve the Army with these critical support services and substantial management efficiencies."

The Army awarded a total of seven S3 contracts -- four full and open and three to small business.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin employs about 135,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The corporation reported 2005 revenues of $37.2 billion.
