United States Department of the Treasury, United States Mint has awarded Lockheed Martin the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) Information Technology Support Services contract. The company will provide a wide range of IT support services to the Office of the Chief Information Officer for up to a total value of $53 million over a five-year period. These services include Seat Management, IT Management, Applications, Communications, and Data Center operations, among others.

The first task order, for Transition Management, was issued upon award with a firm-fixed price of $1,038,879. Work began on March 1. Lockheed Martin's future responsibilities will be performed under subsequent, simultaneously issued task orders. These will include providing seat management, application management, communications, data center, data networks, and overall IT management operation and maintenance services under this single performance based contract. Additional application development work may be provided on an as required basis under separate task orders.

The partnership will facilitate the smooth integration of the United States Mint's OCIO's IT operations and maintenance activities. Lockheed Martin's proven preparedness and flexibility will allow the U.S. Mint to rely on the company as a strategic partner for additional contract requirements or developmental task orders in the future.

"We're excited to begin supporting the United States Mint's information needs. Leveraging our best practices in enterprise information, I am confident that Lockheed Martin will help transform the IT infrastructure of this important Department of Treasury agency into a truly leading edge and innovative system," said Steve Lubniewski, president of Lockheed Martin Enterprise Solutions and Services in Seabrook, Md.

Lockheed Martin was the single company selected for the contract vehicle. The company's teammates include Deloitte Consulting of McLean, Va., and TrustedForce LLC of Washington, D.C., both of whom will offer knowledge and understanding of the United States Mint operating environment.
