LARGO, Md., 27 Sept. 2005. Multimax, Inc. announced today that the Navy has awarded a large software development and support contract to a joint venture between Multimax and Array Information Technology, Inc.
The contract has a potential value of some $36 million over the initial performance period and four option periods ending in 2010. The Navy Systems Support Group will issue specific task orders under the new contract as support requirements are identified. Work will be performed primarily at Anteon's Montgomery, Ala. Solutions Center.
Multimax will lead a team providing development, implementation, maintenance, training, configuration management, and help desk services to support the Navy Systems Support Group's program management responsibility for the Facilities and Equipment Maintenance (FEM) system throughout the Department of Defense (DoD).
