Exelis Wins $121.8 Million Network Support Contract

Exelis has received a five-year, $121.8 million contract for end-to-end systems engineering support from the U.S. Navy.

Called the Fleet Systems Engineering Team (FSET), the cost-plus-fixed-fee task order under the Navy’s SeaPort-enhanced indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, multiple award contract could run through Sept. 2018.
