The contract allows for the implementation of agency-wide fire and security services, emergency management, export control, protective services information assurance/technology security and protective services training at 14 locations throughout the United States.

"Intergraph has enjoyed a rich history with NASA dating back to the early 1970s and we have a deep understanding of the agency and its unique security requirements," said Brig. Gen. Jack Pellicci, U.S. Army (Ret.), general manager of the Intergraph Federal, Security and Intelligence business unit. "We are honoured to partner with Coastal to support NASA's security efforts. We are confident that our information assurance and technology capabilities, combined with our domain expertise in integrated electronic security systems, will provide many efficiencies throughout the life of this contract, ultimately advancing security and safety at all NASA installations."
