(By Balaseshan) ManTech International Corp. (NASDAQ: MANT), a provider of technologies and services, said it has received a contract to provide software and systems engineering services to the U.S. Army.
ManTech was awarded a contract by the Communications-Electronics Command Life Cycle Management Command (CECOM LCMC) to provide comprehensive software and systems engineering services to CECOM LCMC's Software Engineering Center (SEC).
The indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity, multiple-award contract has a ceiling value of $7 billion with a two-year base period of performance, one two-year option, and an additional one-year option.
Under this contract ManTech will provide scientific, systems engineering, and software engineering technical services to support the SEC's warfighter, enterprise services, and business mission areas.

The company's Agile software development processes, CMMI Maturity Level 3 development rating, rapid prototyping capability, and cyber and information assurance toolsets are excellent resources to assist the SEC in meeting their mission requirements.
