MCLEAN, Va., Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) (NYSE: SAI) announced today it was awarded a prime contract by the United States Army National Guard (ARNG) to provide support for the operation, modernization, expansion and further evolution of the Enterprise Operations and Security Services (EOSS) concept and the associated information technology (IT) services. The single-award, firm fixed-price contract has a one-year period of performance, four one-year options, and a total contract value of approximately $58 million, if all options are exercised.  The task order was awarded under the General Services Administration's Alliant government-wide acquisition contract.
