Booz Allen snares $700M FAA NextGen contract

Booz Allen Hamilton will assist the Federal Aviation Administration in implementing its Next Generation Air Transportation System under a 10-year contract that has a potential value of more than $700 million.

The contract will support FAA’s evolution to NextGen, which is part of the agency’s efforts to improve safety and bring greater efficiencies to the nation’s airspace system, a June 30 Booz Allen announcement stated.

The contract, which covers NextGen and the current National Airspace System (NAS) infrastructure, calls for a broad range of systems engineering, investment and business case analysis. The contractor also will provide planning, forecasting and business, financial and information management support services.

Booz Allen has assembled a team that includes large-business partners known for their analytic, program and portfolio management, engineering and integration skills as well as their NAS experience, according to the announcement.

The team includes Tetra Tech/AMT Inc., LMI, MCR and L-3, supported by several small-business partners that offer special expertise in critical areas such as communication, navigation, surveillance, and automation.

Booz Allen Hamilton, of McLean, Va., ranks No. 9 on Washington Technology’s 2010 Top 100 list of the largest federal government prime contractors.
