CSC Has the Scale to Get the Biggest Jobs

Re: “Computer Sciences Appears Serious About Pursuing a Sale,” Nov. 28:

Your story on Computer Sciences Corp. materially misrepresented the nature of our business with the federal government.

The story asserts that CSC had “been unable to reach the size and scale that would allow it to go after very large federal IT contracts.”

In fact, CSC is one of the few companies with the size, scale and resources to pursue some of our nation’s largest and most complex federal information technology contracts. CSC, for example, is currently the prime contractor on several critical information technology modernization initiatives.

These include a 15-year program to modernize business systems at the Internal Revenue Service (valued at $6 billion to $8 billion); a 10-year, $2-billion National Security Agency Groundbreaker program; and a seven-year, $700-million Army Rapid Response program.

CSC is the No. 1 ranked IT contractor for the Department of Homeland Security and the No. 1 enterprise resource planning contractor for the federal government.

These are some of the reasons CSC reported federal revenue of $4.6 billion in its 2005 fiscal year.
