Recent Contract Awards

August 2024

The big news in the C5ISR Group is our recently announced win of the PEO Nuclear Command Control Communication and Integration (NC3) Professional Administrative and Assistance Services (PAAS) contract. This is another amazing win for the company supporting a new Air Force customer located primarily at Hanscom AFB, MA and Kirtland AFB, NM.

With the work starting in mid-October, the team is deep into transition. Leading our transition charge are Leah Pfeifle, Beth Salter, Stephanie Lilly, Mike Petroskey and all the corporate functions. In fact, they just passed our most significant milestone with flying colors by extending 92 offer letters to 100% of incumbent personnel. Lots more to do to have everyone ready to start work in October, but there’s no doubt it will be a huge success and a great start to a new 5 year contract.

Huntsville Office Opening

In August, Odyssey opened a new office at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, to support programs and new business development for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and other customers in the aviation and space operations communities. This was the culmination of months of planning led by Rob Thomas, Director of Huntsville Area Programs, in coordination with other members from Odyssey including Erin Butt, Beth Salter, Michael Glueckert, and members of the Executive Leadership Team. Odyssey’s ribbon cutting ceremony took place on August 5th with Mayor Tommy Battle, members of the Chamber of Commerce, and several local partners attending the event to learn about Odyssey’s continued commitment and investment to the community technology hub.
