SI International, Inc. has announced that it has been awarded a contract to provide space sensors engineering and technical services support to the Air Force Space Command (AFSPC).

The competitive task order contract has a one-year base period with eight one-year options. The contract's potential value is $43.5 million over nine years, if all options are exercised.

"With a strong background in space systems modernization, we look forward to the ongoing opportunities to support the Air Force Space Command in their mission-critical work," said Ray Oleson, Chairman and CEO of SI International.

With space systems modernization as a key focus area, SI International has been supporting the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) - now United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), and Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) for more than eight years.

In addition, SI International has supported the Spacelift Range Systems, Range Standardization and Automation, military satellite communication (Milsatcom) systems, the Air Force Satellite Control Network, and other AFSPC programs since 1996.
