Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and will leverage advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. As the prime contractor, Sempre, drawing on its demonstrated expertise in deployable 5G network infrastructure and hardened telecommunications systems, will support both classified and unclassified programs. The contract structure allows the MDA and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders under a single flexible contracting vehicle, streamlining procurement processes for critical homeland defense modernization initiatives over the ten-year performance period.
