FAIRFAX, VA, Sept 1, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - CGI (NYSE: GIB) (TSX: GIB.A) today announced that it has won a five-year (one base plus four option years) contract with the U.S. Army Sustainment Command (ASC) for software development and support of the Integrated Materiel Management Operations Systems (IMMOS) application suite. The base year has been incrementally funded at US$3.1 million. If all options are exercised, the contract value will be US$55.8 million with a completion of date July 31, 2020. The work will be performed in Alexandria, Virginia and at multiple locations within the continental United States and overseas.

CGI developed and has supported IMMOS logistics software applications since 1994. During this time, system innovations have included real time Care of Supplies in Storage (COSIS) and warehouse management functionality; radio-frequency identification tag and network management tools; business intelligence; accountability, inventory and maintenance reporting; and automated equipment hand-off and receipt-back capability.
