Serco secures $97 million navy submarine communications contract

HERNDON, Virginia - Serco Inc., a $3 billion market cap technology and engineering services provider with annual revenue of $6.65 billion, has been awarded a new indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to continue supporting the U.S. Navy’s Submarine High Data Rate (SubHDR) antenna systems, the company announced Wednesday.

The single-award contract has a potential total value of $97 million over a 10-year period, consisting of a five-year base period and five option years.

"We are proud to continue our 20-year partnership with the U.S. Navy on this vital program," said Tom Watson, CEO of Serco Inc., in the press release.

Work will be performed primarily at Serco’s production and repair facility in Ludlow, Massachusetts, with additional support provided at NUWC in Newport, Rhode Island. The company will also maintain its indoor near field and compact antenna test range at the Ludlow facility.
