DoD buys vehicle parts management system

Lockheed Martin was awarded yesterday a potential 10 year contract worth over $5 B to set up and manage a system to provide auto parts to the various services. The system will be able to provide, track and ship necessary vehicle parts all over the world to the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines. The system will utilize a proprietary software system that Lockheed Martin developed and is currently being used to support aircraft. Despite the size of the award the contract will employ only about thirty personnel.
