Sgt. Ronald Peters, Multi-National Corps-Iraq, C-7 geospatial analyst, Fort Lewis, Wash., reviews a series of maps in his office. Peters has been mapping archeological sites throughout Iraq since June in effort to preserve thier integrity.

CACI has been awarded a $179.9 million U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) contract for geospatial support.

Under the five-year contract, which includes one base year and four one-year options, CACI will provide Joint Geospatial Analytical Support Services, according to the Department of Defense contract announcement.

"A contract was previously awarded in December 2014, but performance was stopped due to protest activity in January 2015," the Department of Defense said. "A new contract is being awarded as the result of corrective action."
