ITT [ITT] has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Army Rock Island Contracting Center, Rock Island, Ill., to maintain authorized Army pre-positioned stocks, and to repair and return equipment in Doha, Qatar, the company said yesterday.
The $34.8 million award includes the base year and four one-year option periods. This work is currently being performed by ITT under the Field and Installation Readiness Support Team (FIRST) umbrella contract.
Under the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, the fifth major support operations contract awarded to ITT in 2010, ITT will ensure equipment is received, accounted for, configured, stored, maintained and issued in support of the Army’s force projection strategy. This work will be performed in Doha, Qatar by ITT’s Systems business unit based in Colorado Springs, Colo.
“Keeping the Army’s forward deployed elements supplied with reliable equipment is core to our support efforts,” said Michael Gulino, president and general manager of ITT Systems. “We take great pride in assuring the readiness of the Army’s pre-positioned stocks.”
