March 4, 2010

LOS ANGELES –– Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has named David A. Drabkin director of acquisition policy for the company. Drabkin reports directly to Larry Lanzillotta, corporate vice president of customer relations.

In his new role, Drabkin will be responsible for coordinating the company's efforts related to pending and upcoming acquisition regulations and policy at the U.S. Department of Defense and other government agencies. He will lead internal coordination of Congressional relations activities related to acquisition policy and reform and representing the company at numerous acquisition and related professional associations.

"The extensive acquisition expertise David Drabkin brings from his work with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), the Defense Department and the Defense Logistics Agency is critical and will greatly benefit Northrop Grumman," said Lanzillotta.

Before joining Northrop Grumman, Drabkin served as the acting chief acquisition office/deputy chief acquisition officer and senior procurement executive for the GSA. In those two positions, he led several acquisition-based initiatives such as the Federal Acquisition Institute, Federal Procurement Data Center, Catalog of Domestic Federal Assistance and the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council. He also served as procurement counsel to the Minority Staff of the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.

Drabkin held several executive positions at the Defense Department including the deputy program manager for the $4.2 billion Pentagon Renovation Program. He also worked as the chief counsel for the Defense Logistics Agency.

In 2009, Drabkin was presented with the Presidential Meritorious Rank Award for his strong leadership and commitment to public service. Other awards include the Federal 100 Top Information Technology Executive Award and the Leadership Award in Acquisition & Procurement.

Drabkin earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy and political science from Washington and Jefferson College, in Washington, Pa., and a law degree from the Cumberland School of Law in Birmingham, Ala.

Boeing Looks To Get Into Vehicle Maintenance

Using their vast amount of experience supporting aircraft — both military and civilian — Boeing (BA) submitted a proposal to the U.S. Army to provide maintenance management and support at two depots primarily concerned with vehicle and weapon maintenance. The Industrial-Product Support Vendor (IPV) contract is worth over $190 million. The work at Anniston Army Depot in Alabama and Red River Depot in Texas is to repair, reset and recapitalize vehicles like the M1 tank, the M2 IFV and the Stryker ICV.

Boeing does not make many of these types of vehicles but at the depots the contract will provide support, forecasting and inventory management. This is all work that Boeing is experienced in with aircraft and they work with the Army already on helicopters such as the CH-47. The bid was submitted to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

Oshkosh Defense Receives Four Awards Valued at $89 Million for M-ATV and FHTV Parts — Press Release

Oshkosh Defense Receives Four Awards Valued at $89 Million for M-ATV and FHTV Parts

OSHKOSH, Wis. — Jan. 21, 2010 — Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK) announced today that its Defense division received four awards valued at more than $89 million from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to supply parts for the MRAP All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV), Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) and Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT).

Under two delivery orders with the DLA, Oshkosh will supply M-ATV spare parts, including engines, transmissions, transfer cases and alternators. Work under the orders is expected to be completed by October 2010. Under two other delivery orders with the DLA, Oshkosh will supply 2,400 axle assemblies for the HEMTT A2 and A4 models and more than 430 engines for the HET. Work under these orders is expected to be completed by December 2010.

Oshkosh is providing the M-ATV’s spare parts to the DLA to be used as in-the-field replacements after the original vehicle parts have been consumed. These parts will ship without delay to maintain optimal readiness rates for existing vehicles in theater. To date, Oshkosh has received awards valued at more than $3.6 billion to deliver 6,619 M-ATVs, as well as spare kits and aftermarket in-theater support.

Existing Oshkosh facilities have the capacity, highly skilled workforce and proven manufacturing capability to deliver these spare parts and all other Defense program orders, including the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV), as well as any surges in production.

The M-ATV features the Oshkosh-patented TAK-4® independent suspension system to provide superior mobility on Afghanistan’s harsh off-road terrain and unimproved roads. Oshkosh teamed with Plasan North America to provide an advanced armor solution for the vehicle. Plasan also developed the armor system used on more than 5,000 legacy MRAPs and thousands of Oshkosh Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) Armored Cabs already in theater.

A 13-ton payload and off-road capabilities make the Oshkosh® HEMTT the backbone of the U.S. Army’s logistics fleet. Improvements to the HEMTT A4 include: a more powerful drivetrain; improved suspension; a fully air-conditioned and armor-ready cab; and other structural changes to make in-field installation of add-on armor quicker and easier. The HEMTT A4 is built with maximum common parts across its variants.

The Oshkosh HET is designed to rapidly transport battle tanks, fighting and recovery vehicles, armored vehicles and construction equipment, as well as their crews, so they arrive in mission-ready condition. The latest Oshkosh HET A1 configuration includes increased horsepower, higher-capacity front suspension, an armor-ready cab, electrical upgrades and improved diagnostics.

Oshkosh Corporation Awarded Contracts to Support M-ATVs in Afghanistan — Press Release

Oshkosh Corporation Awarded Contracts to Support M-ATVs in Afghanistan

OSHKOSH, Wis. — Oct. 27 2009 — Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK), announced today that through its Defense division, it has received two contracts valued at more than $28 million for spare parts and support of its MRAP All Terrain Vehicles (M-ATV) in Afghanistan. The contracts include a $16 million order from the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for spare parts and a $12 million order for aftermarket support from the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command Life Cycle Management Command (TACOM LCMC).

“Oshkosh Corporation’s broad range of offerings, including our parts supply network and fully trained field service team, will provide our Armed Forces with an unparalleled level of support,” said Robert G. Bohn, Oshkosh Corporation chairman and chief executive officer. “Our in theater M-ATV service and support will help ensure these highly mobile vehicles operate at full capability in very challenging conditions.”

Under the contract, Oshkosh Defense will provide M-ATV spare parts to the DLA to be used as in the field replacements after the parts delivered with the vehicles have been consumed. These parts will ship without delay as vehicles arrive to maintain optimal readiness rates.

Additionally, Oshkosh field service representatives (FSR) will support the M-ATV program in-theater through September 2010. Oshkosh Defense provides the complete spectrum of service and support to the M-ATV fleet in the Afghan theater. Building on its experience from Operation Iraqi Freedom, Oshkosh FSRs can operate service facilities on any of the forward operating bases that might require more support than internal assets can provide.

Oshkosh will complete production of the current M-ATV contract, valued at more than $2.7 billion, for 5,219 vehicles in March 2010. The company has delivered ahead of schedule each month since the contract award on June 30, 2009, and expects to ramp production up to 1,000 vehicles per month in December. The first Oshkosh M-ATVs were delivered to Afghanistan on Oct. 1, 2009, just three months after Oshkosh was awarded the M-ATV contract.

Oshkosh Defense teamed with Plasan North America to provide an advanced armor solution for the M-ATV. Plasan also developed the armor system used on more than 5,000 legacy MRAPs and thousands of Oshkosh Armored Cab MTVRs already in theater.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 27 (UPI) -- The Defense Logistics Agency has renewed Agility Defense & Government Services' contract for the company to continue distribution support for the U.S. military.

Agility DGS Wins Warehousing Contract — Press Release

Agility DGS Wins Warehousing Contract

ALEXANDRIA, Va., August X, 2009 – Agility Defense & Government Services (DGS) said today that the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) renewed its contract for warehouse and distribution services at the Defense Distribution Center, Kuwait/Southwest Asia (DDKS).

Under the one-year extension, Agility DGS, a leading global provider of supply chain solutions, will use its extensive facilities in Kuwait to provide DLA with a complete warehouse management system to support operations in the Middle East and Southwest Asia.

DLA originally awarded Agility DGS a one-year DDKS contract in 2005. Each year since, Agility DGS has won the right to handle the work. The potential value of the DDKS award is $214 million over five years.

“We are gratified to have earned the confidence of DLA based on our record of outstanding performance since 2005,” said Dan Mongeon, president and CEO of Agility DGS. “We’ve become a trusted partner because we provide advanced logistics experience, capabilities and facilities that are unsurpassed. We are uniquely suited to continue helping the DDKS provide outstanding support to the U.S. military.”

The DDKS contract extends Agility’s record of successful performance for the DLA, which includes recent awards of long-term contracts for heavy equipment and transport services in Iraq and Kuwait, along with supply and distribution of food and other products for the U.S. military in Iraq. Agility DGS also recently has won contracts to manage repair parts supplies at the Tobyhanna Army Depot in Pennsylvania and bulk-fuel supplies for the U.S. military on U.S. Air Force installations in Guam, Japan, South Korea, Portugal, Germany and Turkey.

U.S. Department of Defense Buys Gas — Lots Of It

The United States Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) announced today a sheaf of contracts to buy gas. Gas for airplanes, ships, trucks and vehicles. The U.S. military runs on it as it is very heavily mechanized and relies on its helicopters and aircraft for the kind of support many armies would say no to or use artillery for.

World Fuel Services was awarded a contract worth $104.5 million for aviation fuel to support all of the services and Valero also received one worth up to $230 million.

These contracts are good for a year. One of the increasing costs the Department of Defense is facing is the price of oil. As it has gone up and down over the last five years it has forced the Defense Department to adjust its O&M budget. The heavy demand of operations also means that money may have to be moved from procurement accounts to cover these costs. Ideally for good budgeting it would be hoped that the price would stabilize over the year so proper planning can be made.

Agility Awarded $1.4 billion Option Year on Contract to Feed U.S. Forces in Iraq — Press Release

The contract, known as the Subsistence Prime Vendor contract, requires Agility DGS to handle procurement, shipping, warehousing and distribution of food and non-food products for all branches of the U.S. military. The maximum value of the 18-month extension is $1.4 billion.

“We welcome news of the extension. It’s another indication that we’ve been able to maintain exceptional performance under the most challenging conditions,” said Dan Mongeon, president and CEO of Agility DGS. “We’ve delivered with accuracy, efficiency and dependability, ensuring that U.S. troops eat properly as they perform their mission.”

Agility DGS originally won the Subsistence Prime Vendor contract in Dec. 2005. The extension covers the third and final option year. The company’s performance on the competitively bid contract has earned it recognition and awards from DLA and other agencies.

“Through advanced logistics and extensive quality assurance measures, we’ve been extremely successful in delivering food and other items into a warzone,” Mongeon said.

Contracts Continue for BearingPoint

Despite its recent bankruptcy filing BearingPoint continues to win contracts providing technical and management support to the U.S. Department of Defense. WashingtonTechnology.com writes that the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) just gave them a small contract to provide acquisition management and support. The contract is worth about $3.5 million. BearingPoint has supported DLA in this area since 2002. DLA has been satisfied with the work that BearingPoint has done.

SupplyCore Wins HUMVEE Parts Contract

SupplyCore a company that has a history of supporting the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) was one of the companies awarded a contract to manage and provide parts for a variety of U.S. Army vehicles. The Rockford Register Star reports that the contract could have a value of over $4 billion for all companies involved as it provide parts for the ubiquitous HUMVEE as well as trucks and the M2 Bradley. SupplyCore had recently purchased the Manufacturing Alliance of the Rock River Valley to be able to provide parts for military vehicles. This acquisition has seemed to pay off with this contract win.
