Peraton selected for US Army DAGRS contract

By TechTaffy Desk

Peraton has been selected by the U.S. Army as one of ten companies eligible to support its Deployable Adaptive Global Responder Support (DAGRS) program. The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicle contract is valued up to $480 million during a five-year period.

Under the contract, Peraton will provide coordination and technology-based solutions, including research and development, and technology readiness—design, development and operational integration of equipment and systems among the Armed Services of the United States and allied countries.

Peraton was formed after Veritas Capital acquired the Government Services business from Harris Corporation in April 2017.
