LOS ANGELES, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- The U.S. Department of Defense announced it has contracted California-based AECOM Technology Corp. for maintenance support services in Iraq.

Officials say the Defense Department awarded AECOM, a government agency contractor for technical and management support services, two contracts worth a potential of $270.9 million for support work in the Iraqi military theater.

"The first of the two new support services contracts is for up to $208 million for a two-year contract term that began on Jan. 1. The second support services contract is for up to $62.9 million for a one-year contract term that began on Jan. 7," the release said.

The contracts follow a $63.6 million task order from the Department of Defense announced in December 2007. AECOM officials say the combined total value from the contracts over the two-month period has a potential of being $334.5 million if all options are exercised.

"The three recent contract wins reflect AECOM's ability to effectively deliver management support services to governmental agencies globally," the release said.
