Under the one-year award, Agility DGS, a leading global provider of supply chain solutions, will use its extensive facilities in Kuwait to provide DLA with a complete warehouse management system to support operations in the Middle East.

DLA originally awarded Agility DGS a one-year DDKS contract in 2005. Each year since, Agility DGS has won the right to handle the work. The potential value of the DDKS awards is $180m over five years, or about $36m a year.

"We are very proud of both our outstanding performance and the confidence that we have earned with DLA,"


said Dan Mongeon, president and CEO of Agility DGS.

"Our advanced logistics experience, capabilities and facilities are unsurpassed in Kuwait. We are uniquely suited to continue helping the DDKS provide outstanding support to the U.S. military."

The DDKS contract extends Agility's record of successful performance for the DLA, which includes recent awards of major long-term contracts for heavy equipment and transport services in Iraq and Kuwait, along with supply and distribution of food and other products for the U.S. military in Iraq.
