CACI International has been awarded a task order with a ceiling value of $29. This task order comes with the optional contract line items for additional towers and support structures, as authorized by the U.S. Marine Corps under the U.S. General Services Administration's CONNECTIONS contract vehicle.

 

The design of the towers incorporates latest technologies, manufacturing techniques, and installation approaches as developed by CACI and its partners. This is expected to reduce the total cost of ownership and minimize structural and support risk during installation and for the operational life of the structures. Apart from this contract, this design offers great potential for re-use in other Department of Defense and federal civilian agency applications, claims the company.

 

According to this task order, CACI will construct the five newly-designed, 90-foot high, multi-decked, steel and composite microwave towers on mountain-top sites. This construction will take place near the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, on remote, inaccessible areas of California's Twenty-nine Palms military reservation. The company says the towers will play an important role in supporting the Marine Corps in training warfighters to complete their missions more efficiently through enhanced communications.

 

In the initial stages of the task order, CACI will provide wide area network infrastructure design, fabrication, installation, and validation of five microwave relay towers for the Naval Surface Warfare Center's Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command. With this order, CACI will now have the capabilities in the areas of integrated, enterprise-wide, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) programs, as well as information technology infrastructure design and development.

 

In October this year, U.S. Marine Corps awarded a $1.1M Contract to TCS for the Wireless Point-to-Point Link (WPPL) professional services.

 

According to Bill Fairl, CACI's President of U.S. Operations, “This CONNECTIONS contract with the U.S. Marine Corps demonstrates CACI's broad capabilities as a leading systems integrator. Our ability to assemble an expert team to tackle difficult design, manufacturing, and logistics issues was a key factor to our success.”
