Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) has been awarded a new $75.2 million task order under the General Services Administration (GSA) Personnel and Readiness Infrastructure Support Management (PRISM) contract to provide critical support to the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). This contract expands on SAIC’s two decades of trusted collaboration with the Navy to advance critical equipment and systems needed by warfighters.
SAIC will leverage predictive analytics and digital engineering tools to improve reliability, reduce downtime, and enhance the operational lifespan of Aviation Accessories and Equipment (AAE) systems, which is vital to supporting global naval contingency operations. SAIC will provide engineering and sustainment services for NAVAIR’s Support Equipment (SE), used to manage critical aviation systems and provide real-time troubleshooting support. Additionally, SAIC will drive the development and integration of the Navy’s Aerial Refueling System (ARS) efforts for the MQ-25 Stingray — an unmanned platform designed to extend the operational range of carrier air wings.
Barbara Supplee, SAIC Executive Vice President of the Army Navy Business Group, stated:
“For more than 20 years, we have worked hand in hand with the Navy to deliver mission-critical solutions that are grounded in science and engineering excellence and battlefield operational success. This task order enables us to deliver best-in-class technologies that support naval aviation at its core — AAE and SE sustainment — while driving revolutionary advancements for the MQ-25’s refueling capabilities. Our teams don’t just deliver; we innovate, transform, and ensure the Navy retains the operational edge required to win tomorrow’s fight. This partnership, built on trust and proven performance, positions SAIC as the unparalleled choice for ensuring mission success across the Navy and the joint force.”
The task order supports key NAVAIR program offices such as PMA-201 (responsible for common AAE), PMA-260 (overseeing SE sustainment), and PMA-268 (advancing ARS for the MQ-25). Managed platforms include the F/A-18 Hornet, P-8A Poseidon, SH-60 Seahawk, and MQ-25 Stingray, among others.
SAIC was awarded this contract for its digital engineering tools, predictive analytics expertise, and proven relationship with the Navy. Over the past two decades, SAIC has delivered critical and innovative capabilities to sustain mission readiness and operational effectiveness for key Department of War customers. By prioritizing AAE and SE while advancing the Navy’s MQ-25 refueling program, SAIC remains a trusted partner for driving superior performance and outcomes in the dynamic defense environment.
