Australia signs new contracts for key base support services
Canberra, Australia (UPI) Jul 10, 2013 - The Australian government on Thursday signed five contracts for provision of key support services at military bases around the country.

The awards are with UGL Services Pty Ltd, Aurecon Australia Pty Ltd, Transfield Services, Veolia Environmental Services Pty Ltd, and Wilson Security.

"These contracts will provide key services for Defense bases -- everything from routine maintenance and security to pest control, waste management, transport, and even airfield operations," said Darren Chester, parliamentary secretary to the minister for defense.

Each contract has a base period of performance of six years, with options to extend the awards for an additional four years.

Deputy Secretary of Defense Support and Reform Steve Grzeskowiak said signing the awards at the same time would result in cost savings and better performance.

"Signing these contracts at the same time has given us a unique opportunity to streamline the way base services are delivered across the country," he said. "We have been able to achieve new efficiencies and business improvements, while ensuring our people on bases receive a consistently high standard of service across the country."

The government plans to sign additional contracts soon.

The service awards -- 10 in all -- will be worth a combined total of about $8.5 billion.

Support services are to be provided to the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force under separate contracts awarded to Engility Holdings and Array Information Technology.

Engility Holdings said the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division will receive landing craft, air cushion technical logistics and library support.

Support activities include sustainment of legacy logistics products, Fleet Modernization Program management support, support for new equipment introduced into the LCAC program, and technical documentation.

Logistics-related data collection, logistics system monitoring and development of accurate logistic products to support of the program are also included.

"We are honored to have the opportunity to continue to serve the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division," said Engility President and Chief Executive Officer Tony Smeraglinolo. "This is an important win for Engility and it further underscores the solid past performance and technical competence of our talented employees in providing logistics services, and our decades of experience in supporting the LCAC community."

The re-compete contract carries a value of $11 million and is for a three-year period.

Under an award of undisclosed value, Array Information Technology is providing support to the Air Force's Contract Repair Management System program for contract performance tracking and analysis.

The CRMS program, which is located at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, Ok., and is operated by the Air Force Materiel Command.

The award is part of the USAF NETCENTS II contract vehicle.

"Team ARRAY (cq) is proud to assume responsibility for sustainment of CRMS," said Mark Douglas, Defense Client executive of ARRAY. "CRMS will be a complimentary addition to our Air Force logistics portfolio, including other asset management systems such as Commercial Asset Visibility Air Force and Integrated Logistics System -- Supply."
