MITRE has booked a U.S. Air Force contract valued at $541.3 million to provide support to the National Security Engineering Center.
The Department of Defense said Monday the contractor will continue serving as the administrator of the federally funded research and development center for another year.
Under the cost-reimbursement option contract, MITRE will receive $13.3 million from the fiscal 2024 R&D funds at the time of the award. The not-for-profit organization will perform work in Bedford, Massachusetts; McLean, Virginia and other locations inside and outside the continental U.S. until Sept. 30, 2025.
The new contract is a sole source acquisition and will involve foreign military sales to other nations.
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at the Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts manages the contract.
The award is a continuation of the recently completed $499 million contract the two parties agreed on in 2023, under which MITRE was also tasked to operate the NSEC.
