ECS Wins $53M Recompete Supporting US Transportation Command’s (USTRANSCOM) Global Air Transportation Execution System (GATES)

ECS, a leader in advanced technology, science, and digital transformation solutions, has won a five-year recompete contract valued at $53M in support of the USTRANSCOM Global Air Transportation Execution System (GATES).

GATES manages all air and sea cargo and passenger movements for Department of Defense (DoD) missions, enabling operators at air and sea ports to manage the movement of cargo to its ultimate destination. GATES also provides passenger processing capabilities, including required checks with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and mission-specific In-Transit Visibility (ITV) data for USTRANSCOM and other United States Combatant Commands.

ECS will provide Agile software development to sustain and enhance GATES operations for a worldwide user base, as well as help desk and engineering support. ECS will migrate additional capabilities to the cloud and improve the Agile software development processes.

“It’s a privilege to continue to support GATES, providing the cargo and passenger management capabilities necessary for USTRANSCOM to project and sustain the Joint Force,” said John Heneghan, president of ECS. “We enable continuous integration and delivery of applications so GATES can iterate at the speed technology evolves.”

“With our demonstrated expertise in Agile software development, GATES has seen quicker iterations and faster technological development, fewer bugs in the field, and the modernization of legacy systems,” said Luis Colon-Castro, vice president of Mission Systems at ECS. “We look forward to continuing our support for these essential enterprise applications.”
