Segovia Wins NATO's IDIQ and Multi-Million Dollar Task Order

NATO awarded Segovia, Inc., with Communication Information Services Consultant Support Services indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract to provide professional and technical services support to the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.

Segovia (News - Alert), a wholly owned subsidiary of Inmarsat plc and a leading provider of secure, global telecommunications to the public and private sectors, also received the first task order under the IDIQ -- a multi-million dollar contract to deploy full-time communication and information services support to Kandahar, Afghanistan. The expert consultants of Segovia, under the contract, will provide CIS support to NATO operations.

The communications support meets a critical need for NATO units operating in Afghanistan. Christopher Baugh, president of NSR, a leading analyst firm covering the satellite industry, explained, in a statement:

"NATO's Communication and Information Systems Services Agency is a provider of critical services to both NATO and its national customers. NATO must be confident of high reliability network engineering and systems administration to ensure the successful completion of their mission requirements. Segovia is well equipped to provide that measure of reliability and technological expertise."

The recent expansion of Segovia's engineering and professional services to include a new Technical Services division is followed by the IDIQ and task order awards. The new Technical Services division provides the customers of Segovia with a host of full-time consultants specializing in LAN/WAN management, functional services, training, systems administration, repair/exchange, configuration management and other key services.

"We are honored to have our dedicated technical experts supporting NATO and ISAF," said John Richardson (News - Alert), vice president of Segovia's Technical Services division, in a press release. "We remain committed to adapting to and meeting our customer's evolving requirements, and we believe that our open, service-oriented architecture and well-trained staff will lead the way to future opportunities."

Segovia, with its departmental expansion and new technical services offerings, has only added to its diverse range of end-to-end communication solutions for the Defense, Homeland Security, Emergency Response, and Federal Civilian communities.
