CACI International wins $494 million contract to support JIEDDO

The Wexford Group International, a wholly owned company of CACI International Inc, announced today that the company has been awarded a five-year prime contract to continue its support for the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO). This is one of five awards for this indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract, which has a ceiling value of approximately $494 million. The contract expands the company's existing business with JIEDDO and enhances CACI's position as one of the premier counter-IED companies in the world. The award strengthens CACI's functional core competency in integrated security and intelligence solutions and leverages Wexford as a centerpiece of that core competency. JIEDDO leads the Department of Defense efforts in countering improvised explosive devices (IEDs), via a three-pronged strategy for defeating IEDs: attack the network, defeat the device, and train the force. JIEDDO integrates DoD's efforts with all Combatant Commands, the Armed Services, the Intelligence Community, interagency organizations, and public, private and international partners. With this contract, CACI-Wexford, Inc. will support JIEDDO with strategic planning, operational and training support, intelligence analysis, program management support, and strategic communications. The company's ability to deliver expert training, assessment, and analysis helps assure mission goals are met successfully, effectively, and on time. Wexford has been working with JIEDDO and its predecessors since November 2003. Bill Fairl, CACI President of U.S. Operations, said, "This work with the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization offers CACI an exceptional opportunity to continue our significant support for this critically important Department of Defense organization. We're extremely proud of our employees who help JIEDDO accomplish its mission of defeating threats to our nation's service members serving in harm's way". According to Paul Cofoni, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer, "We are very pleased that the Wexford Group International can, once again, make a vital contribution to helping JIEDDO safeguard our warfighters. This is a significant contract that further solidifies CACI's government partnership through which we provide high-quality, leading edge services in support of the nation's defense."
