Program support for fleet deployment training is being provided to the U.S. Navy's Fleet Forces Command by Science Applications International Corp.

The support services come under a one-year, cost-plus-fixed-fee task order awarded under the SeaPort-e contracting vehicle, and have a one-year base period of performance with four one-year options.

The value of the award to SAIC will be $118.5 million if all options are exercised.

"SAIC has a proud history of providing the Navy with critical training support to help prepare warfighters for their missions," Tom Watson, SAIC's senior vice president and general manager of its Navy and Marine Corps Customer Group said. "Helping sailors to achieve their training objectives and to prepare them for overseas deployment is a top priority for us."

SAIC said the award is for assistance to Fleet Forces Command with fleet training policy/directive development and implementation; curriculum development and instruction; and synthetic training and live exercise development, execution, assessment, and reconstruction.

Additional details were not provided.

Work will primarily be performed in Norfolk, Va., and San Diego, Calif.
