Arlington, VA, October 16, 2007 - Vangent, Inc., a leading global provider of information management and business process outsourcing solutions, today announced it has been awarded the Military Health System Executive Information and Decision Support (EIDS) Infrastructure Operations, Security and Maintenance Support contract, valued at $18.2 million over 5 years.

The work covers all EIDS hardware and operating systems as well as specific enterprise-level services spanning all EIDS projects. Technical and management support includes systems analysis, systems administration, programming, testing, implementation, documentation, security maintenance, security testing (DIACAP) support and performance monitoring for all EIDS hardware and operating system software.

“We’re delighted to continue building on our partnership with the EIDS Program Office,” stated Mac Curtis, President and CEO of Vangent, Inc. “We look forward to working closely with EIDS to provide critical IT support services necessary to ensure the delivery of high quality healthcare information.”

The EIDS Infrastructure Support contract was awarded as a task order under the Department of Defense/Systems Integration, Design, Development, Operations and Maintenance Services 3 (D/SIDDOMS 3) contract vehicle, a multiple-award, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract that provides the MHS, its components and the Department of Veterans Affairs the ability to order services, equipment, materials and facilities to design, test and operate information technology systems and system components.
