San Francisco CA - Apr 21, 2004
URS Corp said Tuesday that the company's EG&G Division has been awarded an indefinite delivery/ indefinite quantity contract with the U.S. Navy to provide systems engineering support for missile defense, interoperability, Fleet-level assessments and intelligence programs/systems projects for the Theater Warfare Systems Department of the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, Virginia.

Under the terms of the contract, as task orders are issued, the EG&G Division will provide programmatic, engineering and technical services for system integration, warfare and systems analysis, affordability and cost analysis, modeling and simulation, computer program development and modification, data management, test and evaluation, electronic documentation and general support services for system integration on existing and future ships.

The five-year contract has a maximum value to URS of $163 million and is the final portion of a three-part re-competition that follows an existing EG&G Division contract with the U.S. Navy.

The first portion -- a five-year, $75 million Detect/Engage Technical Engineering Support Program contract -- was previously awarded and announced by URS in August 2003. The second portion -- a five-year, $117 million Command and Control Systems Support Program contract -- also was previously awarded and announced by URS in October 2003.

Commenting on the contract win, Martin M. Koffel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of URS, said: "We are very pleased to have been selected by the U.S. Navy for the third phase of this important and complex project, which will help the Navy confront current and future defense requirements. This is another significant win for the EG&G Division, and one that demonstrates the broad range of systems engineering and technical support capabilities that we offer."
