MCLEAN, Va., March 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) (NYSE: SAI) announced today it was awarded a prime contract by the U.S. Navy, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SSC) Atlantic to provide audiovisual (AV) equipment.  The multiple award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract has a one year base period of performance, four one-year options, and a total ceiling value of $500 million for all awardees, if all options are exercised.  Work will be performed primarily in Abingdon, Md. and Charleston, S.C.  

SSC Atlantic is responsible for the acquisition, integration, fielding and logistics support of C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) systems for the Department of Defense and civil federal agencies.
