NEWPORT NEWS, Va., March 07, 2017 -- Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) announced today that its Technical Solutions division was recently awarded a contract by the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense (JPEO-CBD) to provide acquisition technical services. Technical Solutions was established in December 2016 when HII acquired Camber Corp., a government services company headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, and combined it with HII’s non-shipbuilding subsidiaries.

Technical Solutions was awarded four task orders on JPEO-CBD’s indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity Omnibus Program, Engineering and Technical Support (OPETS) requirement. The task orders provide continuing acquisition technical services in the Engineering and Technical (E&T) Domain, with a period of performance of February 2017 through February 2019. The work will be accomplished by Technical Solutions’ Integrated Mission Solutions Group.

The JPEO-CBD is a leading Department of Defense enterprise with a global mission of providing research, development, acquisition, fielding and life-cycle support of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) defense equipment and medical countermeasure capabilities for the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, Navy and combatant commands supporting national strategies. Technical Solutions’ Integrated Mission Solutions Group is committed as a key JPEO-CBD partner providing acquisition, logistics, information technology and technical support services.
