Lockheed Martin has been selected by the US Army Sustainment Command (ASC) to bid for a contract covering future logistics requirements as part of the emerging enhanced army global logistics enterprise (EAGLE) programme.
Valued at a potential $23bn for all awardees, the EAGLE contract includes a five-year performance period and covers the supply of maintenance operations, supply support and transportation services to the army.
The EAGLE programme is structured through a basic ordering agreement, which is a written understanding against a traditional contract between the government and selected contractors.
Sustainment services will be used by the army’s directorate of logistics organisations and other groups within the branch for transportation, refurbishment and maintenance of equipment in the field, with an aim to keep it combat-ready.
June Shrewsbury, Lockheed Martin Global Training and Logistics unit technical services vice president, said sustainment activities such as maintenance and supply chain management would serve as a basic platform for conducting important missions worldwide.
