Carahsoft wins IT contract with US Department of the Navy

Carahsoft Technology has received a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) to distribute Symantec software, hardware and maintenance services to the US Department of the Navy (DoN) and affiliated branches.

The contract was awarded by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific on behalf of the US DoN.

Under the contract, Carahsoft and its authorised reseller partners will provide the above-mentioned services to DoN and the US Marine Corps, Navy and reserve components of each force.

The company secured the BPA under the DoN's Enterprise Software Licensing (ESL) initiative, which is responsible for the management of enterprise commercial off-the-shelf IT agreements, assets, and policies.

ESL seeks to consolidate, centralise and streamline IT acquisition and management processes.

The BPA comprises five years of performance, including a one-year base ordering period and four one-year option periods.

The contract will run until April 2024 and has a potential of $69.14m.

Symantec Federal vice-president Chris Townsend said: “The navy's decision to expand its use of Symantec's Integrated Cyber Defense Platform throughout the enterprise aligns with Symantec's mission to consolidate and integrate assets on a common platform, driving down costs and complexity and creating a more secure environment.

“This BPA will allow for more advanced cyber defence capabilities for the Department of the Navy, while providing a better value to the government agencies and taxpayers.”

DoN and affiliated branches will have access to Symantec's Integrated Cyber Defense Platform and associated products and services, including advanced threat protection, along with security for email and networks, as well as information protection.

Carahsoft Symantec team director Annie Marshall said: “Carahsoft and our reseller partners have supported the US Navy for 15 years, and we are proud to further simplify procurement across the entire navy through this BPA.

“As the navy serves our nation, offering products from one of the leading cybersecurity vendors allows it to ensure that its personnel are operating in secure virtual environments, no matter the physical environment they operate in.”

    German Navy selects Damen and Blohm + Voss for construction Multi-Purpose Combat Ship MKS180 frigates

    January 14, 2020 - The German government has announced its intention to select Damen as the main contractor, together with partners Blohm + Voss and Thales, for supplying at least four Multi-Purpose Combat Ship MKS 180 frigates to the German Navy. The Dutch naval shipbuilder is extremely proud of, and satisfied with, the result of the evaluation process announced today by the German Government, though of course awaits parliamentary approval in Germany. The ships will be built at Blohm + Voss shipyard in Hamburg and at other shipyard locations of the North German Lürssen Group. Damen intends to build in this way in order to spend around 80% of the total net investment as added value in Germany. The same applies to the electronic application systems that are supplied by Thales Nederland to its own design. Around 70% of the services will be provided by the German subsidiary of Thales and by other German subcontractors. With the North German shipyard group Lürssen – parent company of Blohm + Voss – and the Damen Shipyards Group, the partnership is based on two stable family businesses that have been successfully active in marine and commercial shipbuilding for more than 140 years. The only naval builder in the Netherlands is pleased with this selection to be main contractor in the German project and the division of work between German and Dutch industry. For the Netherlands, it provides national knowledge and expertise. This offers the Dutch Government the option, in the coming Dutch naval construction projects for frigates and submarines, to have these types of strategic programmes devised, engineered, managed and deployed in their own country. The MKS 180 project contributes to securing the export power and self-creation of both Dutch and German naval construction in the longer term. The project also opens perspectives for the requested European (defence equipment) cooperation.

    La France a enregistré 4,9 milliards d'euros de commandes d'armement en 2020

    En 2020, la France a enregistré 4,9 milliards d'euros de commandes d'armement en 2020, contre 8,3 milliards un an plus tôt, selon un rapport du ministère français des Armées remis mardi au Parlement, soit un recul de près de 41%, un phénomène lié aux effets de la crise sanitaire. Les récents succès du Rafale « sont cependant de bon augure pour l'année en cours », anticipent Les Echos. Cette baisse « ne traduit pas une tendance de fond », assure en effet le ministère, qui rappelle de récentes signatures d'importants contrats de vente de Rafale, à l'Egypte (30 exemplaires pour près de 4 milliards d'euros), à la Grèce (18 avions, dont 12 d'occasion) et la Croatie (12 Rafale d'occasion).
