ROCKVILLE, Md., May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has awarded Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) a 10-year, $77.4 million contract to provide secure software tools to manage data on radioactive materials, including transactions involving radioactive materials, and the materials licensing process.

Under the Integrated Source Management Portfolio (ISMP) Program, Lockheed Martin will provide the NRC Office of State and Federal Materials with a secure and effective set of automated tools to house and maintain information on licensees, nationally tracked sources possessed by licensees, and licensee transactions. The Portfolio consists of three systems, two that are in the planning stages the License Verification System (LVS) and the Web Based Licensing (WBL) System; and one system already in operation the National Source Tracking System (NSTS). Lockheed Martin will be responsible for development, deployment, hosting, user support and maintenance of this portfolio of systems.

"Lockheed Martin is proud that our information technology systems and tools will help the NRC track nuclear materials and uses to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety, promote the common defense and security, and protect the environment."
