Business Wire
L-3 Communications (NYSE:LLL) announced today that its Vertex
Aerospace division has commenced performance on a previously
announced contract to provide full contractor logistics support
(CLS) for the U.S. Air Force (USAF) KC-10 aircraft fleet. A
competitor protest, following the program’s award in June 2016 to
L-3, has been denied by the Government Accountability Office.
The approximate total value of this firm-fixed-price,
indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity requirements contract is
expected to reach $1.9 billion over a nine-year performance period
that starts with a six-month phase-in that began on September 27,
2016.
“As a CLS provider, L-3 is committed to delivering excellent
performance to the Air Force,” said Michael T. Strianese, L-3’s
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “This KC-10 contract award
gives L-3 the opportunity to provide the Air Force and a key
international ally with engineering innovation and affordable, best
value solutions and services. This new business win also adds a new
aircraft to our scope of CLS work and expands our business
base.”
Under the contract, L-3 will provide Contractor Operated and
Maintained Base Supply (COMBS), Field Service Representative (FSR)
and depot maintenance support for 59 USAF KC-10 aircraft, as well
as COMBS and FSR support for the Aerial Refueling System for two
Royal Netherlands Air Force KDC-10 aircraft.
