CIBER Federal, a division of CIBER, Inc., announced that it is a Strategic Partner on the Alion Science and Technology Corp. (Alion) team. Alion is one of nine government contractors to be named to the Department of Defense's Software, Networks, Information, Modeling and Simulation (SNIM) Technology Support Contract. The five-year, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, which was awarded May 24, is worth up to $2 billion.

The contract is designed to improve information access , sharing, and security. SNIM consolidates customer-funded efforts of three DOD Information Analysis Centers (IACs).

The contract combines Technical Area Tasks (TATs) previously performed under the Data and Analysis Center for Software (DACS), Information Assurance Technology Analysis Center (IATAC), and Modeling and Simulation Information Analysis Center (MSIAC).

"The Alion SNIM team is very excited about the opportunity to help DTIC and worldwide clients across DOD and the US government with Research and Development in support of today's war fighter.  The Alion Team is large, diverse and covers the waterfront of industry and academia entities.  CIBER will play a very important role on this team," said Tex Brown, Alion Sr. Vice President.

"As a strategic partner, CIBER will have a primary input into the team's response to each TAT released for bid by the government. CIBER will provide the team with subject matter experts in the areas of software analysis, networks, information assurance and security, knowledge management, and modeling and simulation. This contract expands CIBER's reach into the fields of modeling and simulation, promoting newer, enhanced, and effective solutions," said Marcia Kim, CIBER Federal President.
