Under the contract, SAIC and other contractors will support the update of security equipment at TSA locations nationwide. Contractors may also help oversee the execution of rapid installation of equipment. The work will be undertaken at TSA facilities both inside and outside the continental US.
John Ferriter, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager, said: "We look forward to helping TSA rapidly field screening equipment, using every tool possible to address those threats and develop methods of combating them. This use of technology will help us stay ahead of those intent on harming our nation."
Other US government deals the company has won recently include a five-year $60m contract from the Naval Air Systems Command to support the Tomahawk Weapons System Program. Last month, it won a five-year $70m contract from the Fleet and Industrial Supply Center Norfolk to provide professional support services for Commander, Naval Installations Command Headquarters and Chief of Naval Operations.
