Under the contract award, SRA will manage two major DPS software releases, in addition to providing training and learning management, engineering services, configuration management and operations maintenance support. SRA also will provide tier-three help desk and cyber security support.

The DPS is a web-based system that supports military members and U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) civilians and their families moving from one physical location to another.

SRA was involved in the creation and development of this system for our service members and their families, so we understand its importance to them. said Defense Logistics Vice President Jim Curtis.
