Engineering Services Network gets Navy connectivity pact

Engineering Services Network Inc. won a contract from the Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center in Charleston, S.C., to provide a wide array of information technology and systems engineering services.

The indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract has a base period of one year, with an initial value of $9.5 million. If all options are exercised over a seven-year period, the contract has a potential value of nearly $70 million, said ESN CEO Raymond Lopez Jr.

Under the terms of the contract, ESN will:

• Investigate and evaluate shipboard and shore systems and equipment to determine platform and site equipment and system configurations
  
• Carry out engineering investigative, evaluative and corrective services for shipboard and shore equipment and systems, to identify and document design and/or installation problems related to maintainability, reliability and operability
  
• Develop, prepare, review and verify a range of technical documentation
  
• Investigate and evaluate various data files to identify equipment performance deficiencies, both operational and logistical
  
• Develop and provide training materials and aids, and conduct training, training audits and evaluations
  
• Conduct maintenance philosophy evaluations to identify support requirements at the organizational, intermediate and depot levels of maintenance, determine intermediate level screening criteria, establish depot capability requirements, and certify depot performance; and, where applicable, define and evaluate nontraditional maintenance processes to provide suitable support for off-the-shelf equipment and systems.
