The Army's Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) at Fort Monmouth in Eatontown, New Jersey has awarded a Government-wide high-technology Rapid Response Program contract to a team led by Galaxy Scientific Corporation. Government agencies utilize the Rapid Response Program by submitting task requests to the Communications-Electronics Command who manages the process for requestors on this pre-competed, rapid response contract vehicle. CECOM assembles requirements and releases them to prime contractors like Galaxy Scientific. The primes then have 7 days to deliver technical solutions and cost analyses by tapping into pre-assembled teams of highly qualified subcontractors. The agency requesting the task then is involved in approving the proposed task execution plan and selecting the contractor team to perform against their statement of work. CECOM takes the administrative burden off the requestor and the principal decision maker in award of the task is the original requestor. Operations are fast, efficient and are handled electronically through the Program's Integrated Digital Environment. The Prime contract is valued at $650 million during the first two years and, with options, could be worth as much as $2.7 billion over eight years. The Galaxy Scientific team will be responsible for proposing solutions for research and development, technology assessment and insertion, systems engineering and integration, training and logistics projects at the Federal Government level as well as for state and municipal homeland-security agencies. INDUS Technology, Inc. is proud to be a part of the Galaxy Scientific team working in specialized areas such as research and development, technology and systems integration, logistics, training and information security.
