COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.,
May 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Vectrus Systems Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Vectrus, Inc. (NYSE: VEC), announced the win of a $84 million U.S. Air Force contract to provide
base maintenance support services at Sheppard Air Force Base (AFB),
Texas. The firm-fixed-price
contract has a potential seven year period of performance and
represents new work to Vectrus.
"We are honored to have been selected by the Air Force to
support the largest and most diverse training base in Air Education
and Training Command (AETC)," said Chuck
Prow, president and chief executive officer of Vectrus.
"Sheppard was a key strategic win for Vectrus and we look forward
to broadening our relationship with AETC and the Air Force."
Sheppard AFB was activated on
Oct. 17, 1941 and is home to the 82nd
Training Wing and the 80th Flying Training Wing. It is the only Air
Force base that is home to both technical and flying training. The
82nd Training Wing provides training in more than 900 formal
officer and enlisted courses while the 80th Flying Training Wing
operates the Air Force's second busiest joint-use airfield outside
of a combat zone.
"Our team has done an excellent job differentiating our offering
and delivering innovative, cost effective solutions with this
important client," said Prow. "The Sheppard win builds on our AETC
programs at Keesler AFB and Maxwell AFB, and expands our Air Force
prime contract presence, which includes programs such as
Turkey-Spain BMC II, Thule BMC, and AFCAP. These programs represent
a significant portion of our backlog and help to further diversify
our client mix and geographic footprint."
Under the Sheppard AFB
contract, Vectrus will provide support for four functional areas:
Installation Management, Operations and Maintenance, Installation
Engineering, and Emergency Management.
