ARLINGTON, Va. -- Lockheed Martin has been awarded two separate task order contracts from the Department of Defense’s Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO). The task orders have a combined value of nearly $460 million.

“Lockheed Martin is proud to perform mission-critical work for the safety and well-being of our troops,” said Bob Kramer, Lockheed Martin Information Systems & Global Services-Defense’s vice president for Operational Systems & Services. “We are dedicated to JIEDDO, its mission of defeating IEDs and ultimately, saving lives.”

Lockheed Martin is providing the JIEDDO Counter-IED Operations Integration Center analytical support teams with technical expertise in operational level military operations, intelligence operations research/systems analysis, and operations-intelligence fusion and analysis to support deployed U.S. and coalition forces in counter-IED operations.

The task orders have a one-year base period of performance with two one-year options, respectively. Work is underway in Northern Virginia and in the Central Command areas of operations and more than 500 employees will be required to support the mission.
