Sigmatech, a professional services firm headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, has won a five-year $74 million contract to provide expert support staff to the office of the assistant secretary of the Air Force for space acquisition and integration, the company announced Feb. 12.

The office of about 70 people is run by Shawn Barnes, who serves as the principal space adviser to Air Force Secretary Barbara Barrett and is also helping to coordinate the standup of the U.S. Space Force.

More than half of the staff are contractors working under a SETA contract, short for Systems, Engineering, and Technical Assistance. The contract for the past five years was held by LinQuest.
