Orange County has extended a contract with Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) for managed IT services and solutions for the county’s agencies and departments.
The contract extension, announced Thursday, is for $64 million for two years, with two one-year optional renewals. SAIC, based in Reston, Va., supports the county’s data center, desktop, service desk, applications, networks, voice environment and security operations.
“This contract extension is a testament to our success in delivering high-performance IT managed services to the County of Orange in partnership with our customer,” Bob Genter, president of SAIC’s Defense and Civilian Sector, said in a statement. “Our history over the eight-year period includes county customer satisfaction surveys that consistently rate our performance as highly satisfied. We are absolutely committed to helping the county continue to reduce costs, improve operational efficiencies, and improve services to residents.”
With a population of about 3 million, Orange County has 25 departments and divisions in government and serves as a regional service provider and planning agency, with primary focus on public safety, public health, environmental protection, regional planning, public assistance, social services and aviation. The county’s chief information officer is Joel Golub, who is also the immediate past president of the California County Information Services Directors Association.
SAIC’s portfolio includes offerings across the defense, space, civilian and intelligence markets, securing high-end solutions in engineering, digital, artificial intelligence and mission solutions. The company has annual revenues of about $7.4 billion.
