DoD awards Quanterion nearly $48M contract for cyber-security center operations

UTICA — The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) information-analysis centers (IAC) has awarded Utica–based Quanterion Solutions Inc. a more than $47.6 million contract.

Under the contract, Quanterion will handle the “basic center operations” for the cyber security and information systems information analysis center (CSIAC), according to a government news release that Quanterion forwarded to CNYBJ.

Quanterion Solutions is located at 266 Genesee St. in Utica. Besides its Utica headquarters, it also has staff in nearby Rome; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Jacksonville, North Carolina; and the Washington, D.C. area.

The contract directly supports the DoD IAC’s mission by enabling collection, analysis, synthesizing/processing, and dissemination of “scientific and technical” information (STI) in the areas of cybersecurity, knowledge management, modeling & simulation, and software engineering. 

Quanterion will handle the work “primarily” in Utica. The DoD IAC expects Quanterion to complete the work by July 31, 2023.

The DoD IAC program operates as a part of defense technical-information center (DTIC), which provides technical-data management and research support for the DoD. The program was established in the 1940s, the DoD IAC program serves the  DoD science & technology (S&T) and acquisition community to “drive innovation” and technological developments by “enhancing collaboration through integrated STI development and dissemination to the broader defense S&T community,” according to the government’s news release.
