GlobalSCAPE Increases Engineering Effort on McLane Advanced Technologies (MAT) US Army Contract
28 Mars 2011 - 1:00PM
Business Wire
GlobalSCAPE, Inc. (NYSE Amex: GSB), a leading developer of
secure information exchange solutions, announced today that the
company has increased its engineering support as a subcontractor on
the McLane Advanced Technologies (MAT) industry team that won the
$52.3 million re-compete contract for the US Army Standard Army
Maintenance System (SAMS-E) in September 2010. GlobalSCAPE has
provided more than a dozen engineers to work onsite at MAT
facilities in Temple, Texas, and is now under contract to deliver
more than $1 million of professional services support to the SAMS-E
program during the government fiscal year 2011.
Under the contract terms, GlobalSCAPE is providing professional
services to support the SAMS-E program, including the Secure FTP
Server™ and CuteFTP® solutions integrated into the SAMS-E
environment. In addition to the contracted services, the company
may deliver enhanced software solutions for SAMS-E under the
subcontractor agreement.
“Our engineering support as part of the MAT team is the largest
professional services effort in GlobalSCAPE’s 15-year history,”
stated GlobalSCAPE Chief Operating Officer Craig Robinson. “We
clearly have completed our transition from a product vendor several
years ago to an enterprise solution provider with a strong
professional services delivery capability. We intend to pursue
additional long-term engineering services opportunities directly
and with MAT.”
MAT executive vice president Bob Reeves commented, “GlobalSCAPE
is a key member of our industry team, and we have been pleased with
their ability to quickly scale up their professional services
support to the SAMS-E program. We look forward to working together
on this and other opportunities in the government and commercial
sectors.”
As a maintenance systems modernization initiative, SAMS-E is a
bridge between current system functionality and the US Army’s
future Global Combat Support System (GCSS-Army). GlobalSCAPE has
been helping the US Army ensure secure delivery of mission-critical
data around the world since 2005. GlobalSCAPE has received several
substantial product license and maintenance and support orders from
the US Army, including a $2.7 million order in April 2009 and other
orders in May 2007 and September 2005. GlobalSCAPE’s solutions were
also featured in the July – August 2010 issue of Defense AT&L,
a defense acquisition and logistics publication read by many
Department of Defense decision makers.
The three-year contract awarded last September includes the
first long-term professional services engagement in GlobalSCAPE’s
history. Potential additional product sales in support of the
SAMS-E program also are within the contract scope. “Our increased
activity on the MAT team provides additional opportunities for us
to demonstrate our enhanced solution capabilities, including
technology we have developed since the last major award from the
Army in 2009,” continued Robinson. “We believe the Army and other
organizations dependent on secure information exchange should have
the best possible equipment to support their mission needs.”
GlobalSCAPE products allow the US Army and other defense
departments to comply with data security requirements, while
minimizing the cost and timelines for both software development and
sustainment. The company’s products use industry-standard secure
protocols and have earned both the Federal Information Processing
Standards (FIPS 140-2) certification and the Certificate of
Networthiness (CoN) from the US Army’s Network Enterprise
Technology Command. These certifications ensure the systems are in
full compliance with federal and US Army technical and information
security regulations and standards.
