Hewlett-Packard has won a DISA telecom contract with a maximum value of $469 million.

The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract calls for HP to provide content delivery services (GCDS) “sufficient to meet current and future content delivery environment workload, security, availability, scalability, and modernization requirements, while maintaining uninterrupted continuous access and problem escalation/resolution support.”

Work on the base contract is scheduled to be completed by June 2018, and then June 2021 if all options are exercised.
