PHILADELPHIA, May 13, 2009— The Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center
Pacific (SSC-Pacific) awarded QinetiQ North America’s Systems Engineering Group
a five-year contract to support the Command, Control, Communications, Computers,
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Programs Office
Philadelphia, Product Distribution Center (PDC).
The five-year contract, awarded under the Seaport Enhanced (SeaPort-e) contract
vehicle, has a one-year base period of performance, four one-year options, and a

Imagery Product Library (IPL), National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
Deployable Systems (NDS), Distributed Common Ground Station, Navy (DCGS-N),
Coast Guard Deepwater Project, and Coast Guard Mission Planning (CG-MP), to name
but a few of the more than 20 major programs currently under support.
