Herndon, VA, Dec. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Constellis, a leading provider of essential risk management and mission support services to government and commercial clients worldwide, announced today that the Department of State (DOS) awarded the company a 10-year, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) WPS III contract, with a $15 billion IDIQ ordering ceiling, scheduled to start in February 2021.

Under this multiple-award contract, Constellis will provide armed personal protective, static guard, and team-based emergency response security services for the DOS worldwide, focusing primarily on DOS requirements in high-threat overseas locations.

As the premier global provider of high-end security solutions, Constellis company Triple Canopy has been supporting the State Department for over 15 years.

“We are truly honored to be selected by the Department of State to help secure their vital missions overseas for the next decade," said Tim Reardon, CEO of Constellis. “The State Department performs critically important work in high-threat regions, and we’re extraordinarily proud to be a part of their trusted team.”
