The contract, signed in the first quarter of CSC’s fiscal year 2014, has a one-year base period and four one-year options, with an estimated ceiling value of $85 million.

CBP, as per what is shared, is working to integrate its agency networks under one enterprise infrastructure in order to modernize, create efficiencies and improve service. CSC will engineer the solutions that will lead CBP toward its goal of a more efficient and effective network infrastructure by applying cybersecurity capabilities to optimize CBP’s network.

The contract apparently will help ensure that CBP continues to engineer and update network solutions in compliance with agency, department and federal mandates. “It’s critical for our government clients to modernize and integrate their systems to save money and resources.said Patrick Schambach, vice president and general manager of CSC's North American Public Sector Homeland Security and Law Enforcement Group.
