Aecom subsidiary wins $3.1bn USAF contract for J-Tech II services

Aecom’s wholly owned subsidiary JT4 has secured a $3.1bn contract to deliver joint range technical services (J-Tech II) to the US Air Force (USAF).

Under the cost-plus-award-fee contract, Aecom will continue to deliver operation, maintenance and sustainment services for the western test and training ranges.

Aecom Management Services Group president John C Vollmer said: “We have supported testing and training missions with a commitment to safety, innovation and operational excellence.

“Our continued partnership with the USAF and navy speaks to our success in safely and successfully supporting this very important programme.”

Expected to be completed by 15 April 2033, work on the project will be carried out at locations in the US, including the 412th Test Wing in California, the Utah Test and Training Range, the Nevada Test and Training Range, as well as the Space Test and Training Range in Colorado.

The value of the current deal and previous contracts in the services sector will be added to the company’s backlog for the third quarter of the 2018 fiscal year.

Aecom chairman and chief executive officer Michael S Burke said: “We are honoured to continue our relationship with the USAF and navy, serving as their primary partner for range support services.

“Leveraging our expanded capabilities and scale, this substantial award underscores the continued transformational backlog growth that we are driving in our management services business, our highest-margin segment.”
