AECOM (NYSE:ACM), a premier, fully integrated global
infrastructure firm, announced today that it has been awarded a
nine-year contract by the U.S. Army Mission and Installation
Contracting Command, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia to provide
rotary wing flight training instructor support services at Fort
Rucker, Alabama. The US$442 million, cost-plus-fixed-fee contract,
which successfully resolved a protest, includes a 12-month base
period plus option years, and is expected to be completed by
September 30, 2026. The value of the contract will be added to
AECOM’s backlog for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.
“We are honored to strengthen our relationship with the U.S.
Army by continuing to serve as its primary partner for rotary wing
flight training,” said Michael S. Burke, AECOM’s chairman and chief
executive officer. “For several years, we have been investing in
our business to further differentiate our leading government
services capabilities. Our continued partnership at Fort Rucker
speaks to our success in these efforts. We look forward to safely
and successfully delivering this contract for the U.S. Army.”
AECOM will continue to provide all personnel, supervision and
other services necessary to perform on-going services for rotary
wing flight training, flight training support and flight training
service support.
AECOM’s rotary wing flight training organization provides
classroom academic instruction and hands-on flight training. Using
a variety of helicopters and flight simulation devices, the Company
instructs each and every U.S. Army aviator during their initial
entry rotary wing aviator training. The Company also instructs each
U.S. Air Force helicopter pilot during their specialized
undergraduate helicopter pilot training course.
Since 1989, AECOM and its legacy companies have trained more
than 25,000 Army, Air Force and Allied students to meet their
world-wide commitments as military rotary wing pilots.
