Lockheed Martin Wins Role On Department Of Homeland Security Communications Program

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has selected Lockheed Martin LMT to compete for future task orders through its new Tactical Communications (TACCOM) program. Among 30 awardees, Lockheed Martin was one of five to be selected to compete for TACCOM tasks in all five of the program's core areas. Through the indefinite-delivery-indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) program, DHS will quickly procure vital tactical equipment engineering, operations and maintenance services. The agency will use the equipment to support reliable public safety communication for its missions at both the state and local levels. Contractors could be called upon to provide the equipment itself, or provide engineering services to ensure greater interoperability.
