Lockheed will manage, operate, and secure the Pentagon's data networks 
and provide 24 by 7 support to users. According the Army's IT Agency, 
the Pentagon's network infrastructure includes more than 16,000 miles of 
wiring and cable.

Lockheed has been providing outsourced IT services to the Pentagon since 
2000, when it won a 10-year contract with the Army to renovate the 
Pentagon's IT infrastructure. In that deal, Lockheed was responsible for

In March, the Army awarded a six-month extension to bridge the earlier 
contract with the new one. The new contract runs for one year and 
includes two one-year options, so it could run through 2014.
