RESTON,
Va., Oct. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- Leidos (NYSE:LDOS), a FORTUNE® 500
science and technology leader, was recently awarded the Strategic
Climate Sustainability and Resilience Services (SCSRS) contract to
lead a mission resilience-focused transformation for the U.S.
Department of Defense's (DoD) resource management processes.
The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (ODASD) Energy,
Installations and Environment (EI&E) envisions an optimized
approach to ensure mission requirements while also driving
sustainable resource management. The new Blanket Purchase Agreement
(BPA) is intended to integrate ongoing efforts and maximize
opportunities for resilient and efficient resources. The contract
vehicle has a 12-month base period of performance followed by four
12-month option periods. The award holds an estimated value of
$100 million if all options are
exercised.
"We're honored to lead the DoD through its transition to a more
sustainable future, with an unwavering commitment to advancing
mission execution across all operational domains," said
Grant Kim, Senior Vice President and
Operations Manager at Leidos. "Leidos takes great pride in
leveraging our capabilities to support global missions across
government agencies and the commercial energy sector."
Under the SCSRS contract, Leidos will bring together experts in
climate science, mitigation and adaptation to integrate climate
resilience into the DoD's core functions to preserve and enhance
mission performance. The company will also provide a pathway to
understanding and reducing DoD's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
This will include new insights into Scope 3 supply chain emissions
across DoD's operations.
The Leidos team, which includes McKinsey & Co., ICF, and
Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), will serve as a strategic partner,
collaborator, advisor and implementor to the DoD. The work will
focus on Department climate, sustainability and resilience
initiatives with science, data, and innovation. Additionally, it
will focus on shaping effective communication strategies and
facilitating organizational change to align with the imperatives of
climate sustainability.
This award follows Leidos' Climate Data Analytics Framework
(CDAF), a multi-year and multi-million dollar technology
investment, which encompasses solutions for climate data storage,
cataloging, stewardship, processing, analysis, visualization,
delivery, and reporting.
