ManTech International
Corporation , a Fairfax, Virginia-based IT and technical
services solution provider supporting Department of Defense and
intelligence community customers, announced today that the U.S. Air
Force 21st Space Wing based in Colorado Springs, Colorado has awarded
ManTech Aegis Research Corporation (MARC) the Space Control
Information and Mission Systems Support (SCIMSS) contract.
Competitively awarded under the GSA IT Services Schedule, the SCIMMS
contract has an estimated value of $6.8 million covering a six month
base period and three one-year options.
Commenting on the award, ManTech National Security Solutions Group
President Evan Hineman, stated “The SCIMMS win is an excellent example
of business synergy between an established ManTech subsidiary, ManTech
Advanced Systems International, Inc. and a recent acquisition, neither
of which would have competed separately for this work–we are very
pleased with this award.”

range of information technology services to four Air Force operations
locations in the western United States, expanding ManTech’s support to
Air Force space activities in the areas of network support and
