E-SITE will provide system design, development, fielding, and sustainment of global intelligence and command and control (C2) assets vital to the security of the United States. E-SITE work will involve incident management, release and deployment management, IT operations, and quality assurance.
The purpose of the E-SITE contract is to satisfy the IT requirements for the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) Intelligence Community, and would allow for external ordering of IT services by other intelligence community partners.
The contract involves 50 companies large and small because no single contractor may be capable of providing the full range of goods and services called for. The large businesses chosen also include small businesses as team members.
On this contract the E-SITE companies will do their jobs worldwide, and should be finished by July 2020. For more information contact the Defense Intelligence Agency online at www.dia.mil.
