Lockheed Martin Corporation [NYSE: LMT] has been selected by the General Services Administration (GSA) to compete for future information technology task orders under the Alliant contracting vehicle. Twenty-eight other companies were also selected to compete for Alliant tasks.

Alliant is an indefinite-delivery-indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract established by the GSA with a five-year base and five-year option period, with a contract ceiling of $50 billion. Alliant is a Government-wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) that will be available for all federal agencies to obtain IT services, products and solutions for the next ten years.

Services to be provided under Alliant will include all components of an integrated Information Technology (IT) solution, such as infrastructure, applications and IT management services, including all current and any new technologies which may emerge during the life cycle of the contract.

"We are excited with this opportunity to compete for tasks under the new Alliant vehicle. I am confident that we will continue to support these agencies, as we have successfully done under the GSA Millennia contract, with the most efficient and cost effective IT solutions," said Steve Lubniewski, President of Lockheed Martin's Enterprise Solutions & Services company.

Combining the existing Applications'N Support for Widely-diverse End-user Requirements (ANSWER) and Millennia contracting vehicles, Alliant is designed to effectively and efficiently support all federal government agencies' needs in their daily operations, protection of infrastructure, the fight against terrorism and the development and marketing of emerging technologies.

Lockheed Martin is currently on the Millennia contract vehicle, awarded in 1999, for which the company provides Software Engineering, Communications, and Systems Integration services. Lockheed Martin currently provides IT solutions and services through a number of Millennia task orders with the Department of Defense and other federal agencies. Included are major support contracts with the U.S. Central Command and Army Information Technology Agency.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin employs about 140,000 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 2006 sales of $40 billion.
