Worth Up To $3.6 Billion
Rockwell Collins and Warner Robins
Air Logistics Center (WR-ALC) have entered into a 10-year strategic
contract to enhance the availability of Rockwell Collins resources
and improve technical and logistics support to maximize operational
readiness. This indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract
has a ceiling of $3.6 billion.
Under the terms of the agreement, Collins Aviation Services
(CAS) will deliver a full range of Rockwell Collins' products and
services to United States Air Force and Department of Defense
customers. Additionally, the contract brings together Air Force and
Rockwell Collins support expertise to provide transformational
depot partnering arrangements that utilize both parties' resources
to enhance mission capability.
"This strategic agreement will
improve the availability and reliability of Rockwell Collins
avionics components; the result will be increased warfighter
readiness at reduced costs," said Harry Gregory, senior vice
president and general manager of Collins Aviation Services. "We are
enthusiastic about the opportunity to partner with the Warner
Robins Air Logistics Center team in optimizing our respective core
competencies."
Colonel Bruce Litchfield, Director of the Warner Robins, Air
Logistics Center, Combat Electronic Systems Directorate added, "The
reason for this contract is to improve the effectiveness and
efficiency by which we support critical systems used by the men and
women engaged in our Nation's war on terrorism. In partnership with
Rockwell Collins, we can make smart decisions that balance cost
with availability, reliability, and maintainability across a wide
array of systems. Anyone in DoD with a Rockwell Collins specific
system can take advantage of this ground-breaking contract.
Everyone wins under this arrangement."
