ARLINGTON, USA: Pentagon announced it has awarded a maximum 4.4-billion-dollar contract over ten years to SupplyCore, a small American logistics company. SupplyCore, based in Rockford, Illinois, was provided an “indefinite quantity contract for support of tactical and non-tactical wheeled vehicle fleets” for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, a Pentagon statement said Thursday.
Three companies bid for the contract, it added.
The vehicles include the Humvee, Bradley, and M939 Series trucks. The 110-employee company will be tasked with providing parts and supply chain management services at Department of Defense facilities, SupplyCore said.
The contract “is one of the largest small business set-asides ever awarded by the Department of Defense,” SupplyCore said in a press release.
“SupplyCore was required to show they were competitive with the large businesses that competed for the contract in both price and delivery capability.
“As a leader within the small business community, SupplyCore is able to manage an extensive supply chain that includes many highly capable small manufacturers.”
