Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has been awarded a $52.7
million contract by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) to provide a range of technical services for digital tools
and systems in support of the National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP).
Chronic diseases account for most deaths in the United States.
The CDC's Chronic Disease Prevention System brings together data,
health care systems and communities to promote healthy choices and
minimize health risk behaviors for all citizens. This work supports

within the NCCDPHP, which is responsible for IT services,
application development support, tools, procedures and portfolio
management to support this prevention system.
"As the CDC advances technology and informatics, we are proud of
our continued collaborative partnership with this customer," said
Amy Caro, vice president, health solutions, Northrop Grumman
Technology Services. "As the incumbent contractor supporting
NCCDPHP, Northrop Grumman is motivated by the better health
outcomes that can be seen in the reduction of chronic disease and
the impactful change within the health care systems as well as in
the behaviors of citizens."
The award is a base-year contract with four option years. This
recompete contract is for the previous NCCDPHP Application
Portfolio Support and Information Services work order. In the
earlier task order, the team's focus was on reducing portfolio
complexity. Today, Northrop Grumman's offering is designed to
cultivate and grow value across the project portfolio by expanding
on our tailored delivery and management processes to provide
support that is responsive, flexible and innovative. Northrop
