West End company will support Naval Special Warfare programs; local hiring impact remains unconfirmed
ALEXANDRIA, VA — Systems Planning & Analysis, the national security company headquartered in Alexandria, announced September 30 that it has won a $126 million contract supporting the Navy’s Naval Special Warfare Program Office.
According to SPA’s announcement, the company will serve as prime contractor, providing engineering, technical, administrative and acquisition-management support for the Naval Sea Systems Command office and related programs.
The competitively awarded agreement includes a one-year base period and four option years, with performance extending through March 2031. SPA says the award expands a relationship with the office that began in 2012.
For Alexandria, a key question is what the work will mean for local employees and job seekers. The Alexandria Economic Development Partnership previously outlined SPA’s headquarters expansion plans, including nearly 500 planned jobs and commitments to local hiring and vendors. That earlier expansion is separate from today’s contract announcement; a connection between those hiring plans and this award has not been established.
This is a developing story. The contract’s exact award date, identifying number, initially obligated funding, work locations and impact on Alexandria hiring remain unconfirmed by The Zebra Press. The company’s announcement does not establish that $126 million has already been funded or that new local jobs will result. Additional verified information will be added as it becomes available.
