CDC Selects Lockheed Martin To Continue Critical IT And Operational Support Under $47.7 Million Contract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has awarded Lockheed Martin $47.7 million in contract funding to continue providing information technology (IT), operational and logistics support for multiple divisions of the Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response (OPHPR). These services are vital to ensure CDC OPHPR can help the nation prepare for and respond to public health threats and emergencies.
"At the national, state and local levels, OPHPR manages many elements of our country's public health and emergency response capability," said Glenn Kurowski, vice president of health and life sciences for Lockheed Martin's Information Systems & Global Solutions business. "Lockheed Martin has been a longtime CDC partner supporting multiple requirements; we take a mission-focused approach to design and implement tailored IT and operational solutions that help protect our citizens."
Since 1999, Lockheed Martin has provided around-the-clock IT, consulting and emergency operations to CDC's OPHPR during public health incidents and normal operations. The company also provides infrastructure services for the Strategic National Stockpile, which stores medicine and medical supplies to protect the American public if a severe public health emergency depletes local resources.
