DynCorp International to continue managing USAF war reserve materiel

MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 10 (UPI) -- U.S. Air Force war reserve materiel at several locations in the United States and the Middle East will continue to be managed by DynCorp International.

The work comes under a contract modification worth $80.3 million, the exercise of a sixth option year under a 2008 firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-award-fee and cost reimbursable contract.

"Our partnership with the U.S. Air Force on the WRM program is invaluable to us," said Randy Bockenstedt, DynLogistics senior vice president, DynCorp International. "The DI team looks forward to continuing to support this important program."

Under the award, DI will continue to maintain, repair, inspect, store and secure the WRM resources. DI team members will also perform outload and reconstitution of pre-positioned assets, including expeditionary airfield resources, aerospace ground equipment, air base operability equipment, mobility readiness spares packages and peacetime operating stocks.

DI said it will also maintain government-furnished property and facilities for storing the assets and will provide exercise and contingency logistics support.
