LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
AECOM Technology Corporation (NYSE: ACM), a leading provider of
professional technical and management support services for government
and commercial clients around the world, announced today that it has won
a task order from the U.S. Air Force for Contract Field Teams (CFT)
valued at $54 million.
The CFT contract is an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ)
contract with the Air Force to support the U.S. Department of Defense
(DOD) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Under this
task order, AECOM will provide aircraft-maintenance services at Texas’
Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD).
Under terms of the one-year assignment, which has an additional option
year, approximately 290 AECOM employees will provide organizational and
limited direct support for equipment sent to the CCAD. AECOM intends to
staff this task order project primarily through the hire of the
incumbent contractor’s workforce. The depot is the only Army facility
for the repair and overhaul of rotary-wing aircraft.
“AECOM is proud to support this important program for the U.S. Air
Force,” said John M. Dionisio, AECOM president and chief executive
officer. “Through the CFT program, AECOM is providing mission-critical
support to our U.S. DOD and DHS clients. We are also able to positively
impact the economy by helping to sustain and create jobs in the regions
where these projects are based.”
This task order brings the total of awarded task orders to AECOM to $269
million in the four months since the company was selected to participate
in the CFT program. Assignments are underway in California, Georgia,
North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas.
The CFT program, which has a maximum value of $10.12 billion over a
seven-year period through 2015, provides major and minor inspections,
maintenance, modifications and repairs of aircraft and ground vehicles
at government locations around the world.
