ESN Earns $7.5 Million Fourth Award Term on Naval Surface Warfare Center Contract

ARLINGTON, VA (May 12, 2010) – Engineering Services Network Inc. (ESN), a trusted leader in engineering and technology solutions, announced today that it has earned a $7.5 million fourth award term year on its U.S. Navy contract at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD).

The recently awarded fourth award term year has a value of $7,472,859. Execution of the first award term year began in May 2010.

“We’re honored that the Navy has continued to entrust ESN and its dedicated employees with this mission-critical contract,” said ESN President and CEO Raymond F. Lopez, Jr. “Our employees on the contract are very passionate about what they do to support the fleet. It’s not just a job to them.”

ESN’s combat system engineers who work on the contract represent decades of active duty Navy and Marine Corps experience and expertise on all facets of their respective combat systems.

ESN performs engineering, IT and business consulting services for the U.S. military, Veterans Affairs, and other federal agencies.

ESN was awarded the original contract in 2005, with the possibility of being awarded additional five one-year periods based on performance. The cumulative contract value for 10 years is $67,551,659, with a base year and four-option year value of $31,282,427 and the five one-year award term year value of $36,269,232.

Under the contract, ESN provides engineering resources for planning and coordinating the installation of Combat System Ship Platform Integration in aircraft carriers, L-Class ships and other strike group and strike force units. ESN evaluates design concepts and develops technical documentation to support those efforts on current and proposed Combat System and C5I Programs.

In addition, ESN’s duties include support of Commander Naval Air Forces staff; Commander Naval Surface Forces units; Program Executive Officer, Integrated Warfare Systems staff; and NSWC PHD staff engineers, as well as planning and execution of Deploying Group System Integration Testing (DGSIT) process for the Marines Expeditionary Forces.

ESN employs 41 people to perform the contract in Port Hueneme, CA; San Diego, CA; Camp Pendleton, CA; Bremerton, WA; Norfolk, VA; Washington, DC; Camp Lejeune, NC; Berkeley Springs, WV; Sea Island, GA; Yokosuka, Japan; and Okinawa, Japan. ESN anticipates moderate growth on the contract over the next year.

“Many of ESN’s employees on this mission are veterans, and their dedication to duty, attention to detail and outstanding performance has been cited in numerous Letters of Appreciation and Commendations from Navy flag officers, USMC general officers and unit commanding officers,” Lopez said.

“Their work ensures that the combat systems of the fleet aircraft carriers, surface combatants and embarked units are fully operational and mission ready,” he said. “We at ESN are honored to serve our country and are ready for duty when called.”

For example, the USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) had recently completed a major modernization on the East Coast and was en route its home port on the West Coast when Haiti suffered a devastating earthquake. The ship was diverted to Haiti to assist in the quake’s aftermath. Onboard was an ESN employee who was coordinating combat system maintenance efforts. The ESN employee remained aboard the ship beyond his original mission.
