Agility Defense & Government Services awarded USD127 million contract for Dining Facilities (DFAC) in Kuwait

The competitively bid fixed price contract was awarded by the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and has a one-year base period and two one-year options. The contract is worth up to USD 127 Million over a potential three-year period.

A leader in specialized logistics and supply chain solutions, Agility DGS will build and provide food services for 11 dining facilities serving US soldiers and sailors throughout Kuwait. This contract is a reflection of Agility's vast logistics and supply chain capabilities in the Gulf region, along with the company's solid reputation for customer excellence through contracts such as Subsistence Prime Vendor.

'In addition to proven expertise in transportation and logistics services, Agility has the global network and turn-key infrastructure necessary to provide the U.S. military with a worldwide Performance-Based Logistics (PBL) solution,' said Toby Switzer, Chief Executive Officer and President of Agility DGS International. 'Agility's work for Kuwait DFACs further extends our scope of work for the U.S. Department of Defense, which includes major contracts for contingency logistics, transportation, and end-to-end supply chain support missions around the world.'

Gulf Catering Company will be the sole Agility DGS subcontractor to perform this contract.

The Kuwait DFAC contract award follows other significant wins by Agility DGS, including two recent contracts for the U.S. Navy for global contingency services. In June 2005, Agility DGS also secured the five-year Subsistence Prime Vendor contract for the provision of food and related items to the U.S. military and the five-year U.S. Army Heavy-Lift contract.

'We look forward to the opportunity to engage our capabilities and proven PBL solutions to help the U.S. DoD improve lead times and reduce costs while providing soldiers and sailors a quality dining experience,' added Switzer.
