Northrop Grumman awarded Army Private Cloud contract


MCLEAN, VIRGINIA (BNS): The US Army has awarded an Army Private Cloud (APC2) contract to Northrop Grumman Corporation.

This contract will enable warfighters to have global access to information and allow the Army to achieve higher levels of computing efficiency, security and flexibility.

"Northrop Grumman's cloud computing solutions have been optimized to address the unique mission and cybersecurity requirements of our warfighters while providing the efficiency benefits of cloud operations," Karen Williams, vice president of the Defense Technologies Division for Northrop Grumman Information Systems said in a company statement.

APC2 will be the Army's preferred vehicle to consolidate data centers and establish private clouds to provide on-demand provisioning for storage and systems.

Under the terms of the contract, Northrop Grumman will provide cloud computing consulting services, information assurance, application migration support, cloud operations and maintenance, service delivery and support, and provisioning of fixed data center solutions to Army customers and other federal and Defense Department agencies.

This will include providing infrastructure-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service, and software-as-a-service operations hosted through contractor owned/contractor operated, government owned/contractor operated, and hybrid-cloud models.

The indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract is valued at $249.8 million, collectively, over a one-year base period with four one-year options.
