DLH Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: DLHC) has been awarded a position on a multiple-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract to provide technical services in support of cyberspace activities for the U.S. Navy, according to a company statement.

The contract, called the Cyberspace Science, Research, Engineering and Technology Integration Unrestricted Multiple Award Contract, is administered by Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific. DLH is one of 29 prime awardees. The contract carries a total ceiling of $400 million across all awardees, with a base period of five years and one option period of two additional years.

Under the contract, DLH will be eligible to compete for task orders covering architecture, systems engineering, software and hardware development, modeling and simulation, training support, and cybersecurity across tactical, operational, and strategic levels.

"This award expands the avenues available to our company to support Navy customers," said Billy Burnett, President of DLH's Defense & Security business group.

Task orders have not yet been released, and DLH's share of the $400 million ceiling will depend on its success in individual task order competitions.
