Science Applications International Corp. has been awarded a new $75.2 million task order under the General Services Administration (GSA) Personnel and Readiness Infrastructure Support Management (PRISM) contract to provide critical support to the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). This contract expands on SAIC’s two decades of trusted collaboration with the Navy to advance critical equipment and systems needed by our warfighters.
SAIC will leverage predictive analytics and digital engineering tools to improve reliability, reduce downtime, and enhance the operational lifespan of AAE systems, which is vital to supporting global naval contingency operations. SAIC will provide engineering and sustainment services for NAVAIR’s SE, used to manage critical aviation systems and provide any troubleshooting support in real time. Additionally, SAIC will drive the development and integration of the Navy’s ARS efforts for the MQ-25 Stingray — an unmanned platform designed to extend the operational range of carrier air wings.
“For more than 20 years, we have worked hand in hand with the Navy to deliver mission-critical solutions that are grounded in science and engineering excellence and battlefield operational success,” said Barbara Supplee, SAIC Executive Vice President of the Army Navy Business Group. “This task order enables us to deliver best-in-class technologies that supports naval aviation at its core – AAE and SE sustainment – while driving revolutionary advancements for the MQ-25’s refueling capabilities.”
Supplee added, “Our teams don’t just deliver; we innovate, transform, and ensure the Navy retains the operational edge required to win tomorrow’s fight. This partnership, built on trust and proven performance, positions SAIC as the unparalleled choice for ensuring mission success across the Navy and the joint force.”
The task order supports key NAVAIR program offices such as PMA-201, responsible for common AAE; PMA-260, overseeing SE sustainment; and PMA-268, advancing ARS for the MQ-25. Managed platforms include the F/A-18 Hornet, P-8A Poseidon, SH-60 Seahawk, and MQ-25 Stingray, among others.
SAIC was awarded this contract for the company’s digital engineering tools, predictive analytics expertise, and proven relationship with the Navy. Over the past two decades, SAIC has delivered critical and innovative capabilities to sustain mission readiness and operational effectiveness for key Department of War customers. By prioritizing AAE and SE, while advancing the Navy’s MQ-25 refueling program, SAIC remains a trusted partner for driving superior performance and outcomes in the dynamic defense environment.
