Continuity of Services Contract

NMCI transitioned to the Continuity of Services Contract (CoSC) contract in 2010 to prepare for the next phase known as NGEN, the Next Generation Enterprise Network. CoSC retains the same scope of IT services that HP has provided the Navy and Marine Corps.

The world’s largest purpose-built network and the Navy’s most secure network environment is positioned to deliver on the forward-leaning transformation the Department of the Navy envisioned in 2000. CoSC today delivers the IT platform for the Navy and Marine Corps that is essential to achieving the end goal of net-centricity across the entire enterprise.

Not only is HP working with a contractor team through CoSC to deliver IT innovation on a massive scale, but also to do so at the highest level of security to support the mission.
