Defense Procurement News

Bearingpoint was awarded a contract by the US Navy to provide management tools for the Recruiting Command. See a press release here. The contract is worth over $12 M and is a continuation of Bearingpoint’s work over the last few years. As with many other types of corporations the military spends a great deal of money on custom software and database applications. This is actually a large business and is often subsumed within the SETA support contracts.

This award is a classic example of a SETA contract. Science, Engineering, Technical and Analytical support contracts are given to companies to support DoD program offices in the management of their procurement programs. Here Wyle Laboratories and Bearing Point won a contract to support the E-2C office. Details are on Defenselink.mil. More information can be found here.
