KBR Awarded $216 Million Task Order for Military Healthcare Cybersecurity

KBR, Inc. has been awarded a $216 million task order to deliver cybersecurity services for the Defense Health Agency (DHA). The contract was granted by the Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic.

The four-year task order is a cost-plus-fixed-fee agreement under the SeaPort Next Generation (SeaPort-NxG) contract vehicle. KBR has been a holder of this multiple-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract since earlier in the year, and previously held a position on its predecessor, SeaPort Enhanced, starting in 2005. The company has been a provider of cybersecurity services to the DHA since the agency's establishment.

Under the terms of this task order, KBR will support NIWC Atlantic's cybersecurity initiatives and its Risk Management Framework efforts. The company will also provide assistance to the DHA Assessment and Authorization Division. The DHA is responsible for delivering medical services to over 9.4 million active-duty military personnel and their dependents.

KBR's responsibilities will encompass a broad range of IT services. This includes addressing independent validation and verification results, assisting in the preparation of an Enterprise Mission Assurance Support Service authorization package, and supporting the implementation of federal IT security regulations, directives, and guidance. These services will extend to all Department of Defense Military Health System sites.
