Contract Award: $5M Base Operations Contract in Romania
The U.S. Navy Facilities Engineering Command for Europe, Africa and Southwest Asia, based in Naples, Italy, has awarded ITT Exelis (NYSE: XLS) a contract worth $5.7 million for base operations support services at Deveselu Air Base near Caracal, Romania.
This is a combination firm-fixed-price with indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract. It includes the base year plus two options that run through December 2015. The services include base operations and administration, fire and emergency services, supply services, housing and environmental operations.
“We are very pleased to be selected as the base operations provider for the Navy’s Deveselu location,” said Ken Hunzeker, president of the Mission Systems division of Exelis. “We look forward to providing support to this critical foothold and to the Navy’s operations in central Europe and elsewhere.”
This was a new procurement and did not replace an existing contract. Exelis is a global leader in base operations, logistics and facility services at other U.S. government locations in the U.S. and overseas.
