DRS wins $269M contract for military Internet cafe

• David Hubler, Washington Technology

DRS Technical Services Inc. will create an overseas Internet cafe to boost troop morale under a Navy contract that could be worth as much as $269 million if all options are exercised.

The indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, firm-fixed-price contract calls for DRS to provide systems engineering, analysis, design development, acquisition, integration, installation, testing, maintenance, and integrated logistic support for satellite and communication systems that will adequately support the requirements of the Defense Department and other government sponsors for continued morale, welfare and recreation Internet cafe support, according to the DOD’s April 19 announcement.

The Herndon, Va., contractor will perform the work mostly in Iraq and Afghanistan, with the rest to be done in Stuttgart, Germany. It is expected to be completed by April 2015.
