Rite-Solutions was recently awarded a $60.7 million, five-year contract to support Naval Undersea Warfare Center’s (NUWC) Information Technology (IT) division, which is responsible for strategic planning, operations, maintenance and compliance of the center’s IT systems and infrastructure.

The company will provide IT services in several areas, including software engineering, system administration, cybersecurity, client support services or help desk, Navy Marine Corps Intranet support, IT governance and application portfolio management support, and more.

“Cybersecurity touches every one of these areas,” noted Rocky Reeves, Rite-Solutions director of IT Services. Over one-half of the personnel supporting this contract must meet the Navy’s cybersecurity workforce requirements.

“This was a major reason Rite-Solutions won the contract. Many of our employees have degrees in cybersecurity or computer science as well as security and operating system certifications,” Reeves said in a statement.

The company is the prime contractor on the project and will work with subcontractors, including SAIC, McLaughlin Research Corporation, Mikel and others.

Rite-Solutions will support NUWC headquarters in Newport, Rhode Island, as well as NUWC locations in Connecticut, Virginia, Florida, and the Bahamas.
