Alabama-based Sentar has received a $32-million contract to deliver cybersecurity risk management for the Defense Health Agency.

A re-compete task order, the deal was signed to extend the company’s nearly 10 years of support for the agency’s Cyber Security Division operations worldwide.

The work encompasses all of the Pentagon’s Military Health System sites, which include approximately 60,000 server and workstation capabilities.

The framework also covers support for about 430 Programs of Record Systems with different infrastructures and operating systems.

Sentar wrote that the project will include one base year and cost more than $172.7 million if the contract’s additional four-year option is exercised.

“With our expertise in cybersecurity and commitment to excellence, we are confident in our ability to continue to enhance the security posture of the Department of Defense Military Health System and ensure the delivery of secure and reliable healthcare services to millions of beneficiaries,” Sentar Director Nathan Swab remarked.

“This partnership is a testament to Sentar’s dedication to protecting critical information systems and our unwavering commitment to national security.”

Sentar’s contract follows a similar award in 2020 to provide cyber risk management support for the Defense Health Agency.

The $164-million agreement is part of the company’s initial Cybersecurity Risk Management Operations Support engagement with the agency and extended the corresponding services until 2024.
