Mission IT wins Coast Guard building automation contract

Mission IT landed a prime U.S. Coast Guard contract to maintain building automation systems at the service center in Alexandria, Virginia. The five-year deal expands the company’s federal operational technology work and covers systems that help keep a critical Coast Guard facility running securely and reliably.

Why it matters: - Mission IT is now responsible for keeping key building automation systems running at a U.S. Coast Guard critical infrastructure site. - The contract deepens Mission IT’s federal operational technology footprint and ties its cybersecurity work more closely to facility operations. - The award could shape how the Coast Guard maintains resilience and security in systems that support daily operations at the Alexandria service center.

What happened: - The U.S. Coast Guard awarded Mission IT a prime contract for Building Automation System maintenance and support at the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, and Intelligence Service Center in Alexandria, Virginia. - The contract covers maintenance and sustainment services for the Coast Guard’s C5ISC facility. - Mission IT said the award is its first prime contract with the Coast Guard.

The details: - Mission IT will support building automation controls, industrial controllers, programmable logic controllers, operational technology software, and system resiliency. - The contract runs for up to five years through 2031, including all option periods. - Mission IT identified its work as spanning operational technology, cybersecurity, and critical infrastructure. - Shawn Wells, Mission IT’s president and CEO, said building automation systems are increasingly part of the cyber and operational fabric of federal missions. - Mission IT said the deal expands its operational technology work across the federal government.

Between the lines: - The award reflects how federal agencies are treating building automation as part of the broader cyber mission, not just a facilities function. - For Mission IT, the Coast Guard contract adds credibility in a niche where operational technology and security overlap. - The long performance window suggests the Coast Guard is looking for continuity, not a short-term fix.

What’s next: - Mission IT will begin or continue long-term maintenance and support work under the Coast Guard contract. - The company is likely to use the award to pursue additional federal operational technology opportunities. - The Coast Guard will rely on the contract to sustain the automation systems that help support operations at C5ISC.

The bottom line: - Mission IT’s first prime Coast Guard contract puts the company deeper into federal operational technology and critical infrastructure support.
