Lockheed Martin Corp. has won a $791 million contract to provide a range of IT services to the Air Force, according to a Sept. 14 Defense Department announcement.

Under the terms of the award, Lockheed will provide a set of more than 70 reusable, common services to Air Force combat support automated information systems by integrating commercial-off-the-shelf, free and open-source software and government-off-the-shelf software components.

Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala., is the contracting activity.

Lockheed Martin Corp., of Bethesda, Md., ranks No. 1 on Washington Technology’s 2011 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.
