Sotera has been awarded a $16 million Army task order for software.

The three-year task order, with the Communications-Electronics Command Software Engineering Center (CECOM SEC), calls for Sotera to develop software for the Defense Readiness Reporting System-Army (DRRS-A). The company will provide “consolidated technical, engineering and management services for the CECOM SEC Command Control Communications-Tactical (C3T) Directorate,” said a Sotera news release “Efforts include design, development, integration, test, and documentation preparation for DRRS-A, as well as technical, logistics, training, and administrative support efforts pertaining to both the hardware and software defined by the DRRS-A system baseline.”

The task order was issued under the Software and Systems Engineering Services Next Generation (SSES NexGen) indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract.
