FALLS CHURCH (BNS): US Navy has awarded an approx $135 million task order to CSC for providing services to support its Program Executive Officer (PEO) Aircraft Carriers.

The task order has a one-year base period and four one-year options. The order falls under the Seaport Enhanced indefinite-delivery and indefinite-quantity contract, originally awarded to CSC in April 2004.

“We look forward to provide best-value, responsive services to the Navy and Department of Defense as they meet the challenges of delivering the nation’s next generation of aircraft carriers," Austin Yerks, president of CSC’s North American Public Sector Defense Group said in a company news release.

Under the contract, the company will be responsible for managing the design, development, construction, modernisation and lifecycle management of US Navy aircraft carriers.

CSC will also provide programme, lifecycle, business and financial management, as well as operations support for PEO Aircraft Carriers.
