This cost-plus-award-fee contract is a follow-on contract to the current Program Information Systems Mission Services (PrISMS) contract. The total estimated cost-plus-award-fee contract value of the UNITeS core requirements is $823.6 million. The UNITeS indefinite-delivery/requirements maximum order limitation is $500,000 per year, or $2.5 million total. That brings the total contract value to $826.1 million, which includes the value of a three-year base period and two one-year options.
