MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) (NYSE: SAI) today announced that it was awarded a task order by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to provide information technology (IT) services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA). The task order has a one year base period of performance, four one year options and a total contract value of more than $52 million if all options are exercised.
