HOUSTON, Oct. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR, Inc. (NYSE:
KBR) announced today that its global Government Service business,
KBRwyle, was awarded two task order modifications totaling
$116 million to provide logistics
support services to the U.S. Army in Europe and the Arabian Peninsula. The Army
Contracting Command awarded these task order modifications under
the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) IV contract.
Most recently, KBRwyle received a $70
million task order modification to continue assisting the
Department of Defense in meeting the U.S. European Command's
requirements. The company's services will include forward planning,
maintenance support, base operating support services, and assisting
the U.S. Army in transporting arms, ammunition and explosives. This
is the second option year on the task order, which was originally
awarded in August
2014.
KBRwyle also received a $46
million task order modification to continue providing
logistics support to the U.S. military in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. The company will provide
facilities management, laundry services, waste management,
maintenance support, fire protection, airfield management, and
transportation operations. This is the second option year on the
task order, which was originally awarded in April
2015.
The company has provided a broad range of base life support and
logistics to U.S. and allied forces through multiple LOGCAP
contracts for more than twenty years. During LOGCAP III, KBRwyle
conducted the largest government services contract in United States history in support of military
operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and eight supporting country
locations.
"KBRwyle has a long history of providing world-class logistical
support to our military," said Byron
Bright, KBRwyle President. "We will continue to serve the
U.S. Army through these new contracts to meet its dynamic
challenges in Europe and the
Middle East."
Revenue associated with these LOGCAP IV task order modifications
will be booked into the backlog of unfilled orders for KBR's
Government Services business segment.
