SAIC Selected by Department of Homeland Security to Participate in EAGLE Program

(SAN DIEGO and MCLEAN, VA) 07/27/06 -- Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) today announced that it has been awarded an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide information technology (IT) support to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading Edge Solutions program, also known as EAGLE, has a five-year period of performance with two one-year options.

EAGLE will serve as a department-wide platform for acquiring IT solutions. DHS selected 25 companies to participate in EAGLE, but SAIC was one of only four contractors to receive awards in four functional categories, including infrastructure engineering, operations and maintenance, software development, and management support services.

“SAIC is pleased to have this opportunity to continue to provide high-quality solutions and services to support the vital needs of DHS,” said Larry Peck, president of the SAIC Enterprise and Infrastructure Solutions Group. “Our downtown Washington, D.C., EAGLE project management office is staffed and ready to support the country's critical homeland security mission.
