MAIDEN, N.C., July 16 (UPI) -- The U.S. Air Force has awarded a follow-on contract to Air T Inc. to continue providing its deicing trucks to support equipment operational readiness.
U.S. company Air T says its Global Ground Support subsidiary was awarded the contract following the recent expiration of a previous deal with the Air Force.
Under the contract Global Ground Support will provide the Air Force with its standard and extended-reach deicer trucks along with other training and support requirements to ensure the Air Force's mission-critical equipment remains operationally ready.
"The winning of this new contract is a testament to the quality of product and service that Global Ground Support provides to all of its customers," Walter Clark, Air T chief executive officer, said in a statement.
"The fact that this was won in open competition and it allows us to continue to supply this essential piece of operational readiness equipment to our military is particularly gratifying."
