In September 2011, PAR Government Systems Corp. in Rome, NY received a $42.5 million firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed-fee contract. One of the firm’s specialties is software related to video, geospatial information systems, and surveillance, and this award is for services in all of these areas. Developing things like target detection and sensor cueing algorithms, video processing techniques, and integration of new sensors like LIDAR isn’t an open and obvious product. Nevertheless, it’s the sort of quiet back end effort that can make a big difference on the front lines if it’s integrated well into current products, or helps create a key proof of concept for a new idea.
Work will be performed in Rome, NY, and will run until Aug 31/16. One bid was solicited, with one bid received by U.S. Army Contracting Command in Natick, MA (W911QY-11-D-0014).
