Navy joins NIH in tapping SoBran for solutions to improve operations performance
Dayton, OH — December 12, 2005 — The Naval Air Systems Command has awarded a multi-million dollar contract for supply chain services to SoBran, which will support logistics and warehouse operations for preventive and remediation maintenance on aircraft engines at the Naval Aviation Depot [NADEP] in Jacksonville, Fla.
The $40.3 million contract with Naval Air Systems Command follows two other wins earlier this year for SoBran in the area of supply chain management and materials handling intelligence, with the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense. For all three contracts, SoBran's team provides services and support designed to streamline operations and reduce costs through more efficient systems.
The Navy contract, which begins on January 3, includes one base year and three option years. SoBran's services will include transporting aircraft and engine components to and between repair shops within the depot, managing warehouse operations, performing cross-branch service and foreign military sales logistical support, and other technical, engineering and logistical services as required. SoBran will work with subcontractors Lockheed Martin and SI International on this project.
"NADEP's commitment to defining the world-class standard in aviation maintenance is critical to mission readiness," said Tom Bauer, SoBran's vice president of logistics and engineering. "We're pleased to have earned NADEP's confidence and to be sharing our drive for operational excellence to help the team meet it objectives."
Founded in 1987, SoBran is a provider of scientific, technical, engineering and support services for national security, homeland defense, environmental, energy and biomedical issues.
