El Segundo-based Computer Sciences Corp. announced that it is one of five firms that have been awarded a Principal Resource for Information Management Enterprise-wide blanket purchase agreement by U.S. Agency for International Development to provide a comprehensive range of information technology support services for the humanitarian assistance.

CSC estimates the value of its agreement, which has a one-year base period and four one-year options, to be approximately $800 million if all options are exercised.

“We are confident that our solutions will provide cost-efficient and timely delivery of information to increase the effectiveness of employees working around the world to support America’s foreign policy,” said Jim Sheaffer, president of CSC’s Federal Sector business unit.

The total ceiling value of the agreements for all five firms, which includes DynCorp International of Fort Worth, Texas; Grant Thornton of Chicago, Ill.; HP of Palo Alto, Calif.; Siemens USA of New York, N.Y.; STG Inc. of Reston, Va.; and True North Solutions of Herndon, Va.; is $4 billion.
