ALEXANDRIA, Va: Logistics Leader to Provide Repair Parts to Tobyhanna Army Depot.

 

Agility Defense & Government Services (DGS) announced that it has won a contract to supply and deliver repair parts for communications and electronics equipment at the Tobyhanna Army Depot in Pennsylvania.

 

The agreement, known as an Industrial Product-Support Vendor (IPV) contract, was awarded by the Defense Supply Center Columbus, one of three inventory control points in the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

 

The contract covers four years with two additional two-year options for a potential span of eight years. The contract base is $223 million with a maximum contract value of $932 million over the eight years.

 

Agility DGS is the prime contractor and will work with subcontractors IBM, W.W. Williams, Herndon Products and Blue Chip Manufacturing. The agreement is one in a series of DLA initiatives designed to capitalize on the strengths of commercial logistics specialists to improve the availability and reliability of parts at Army depots. 

 

Agility DGS is a leader in specialized logistics and supply chain management for military and government customers. Under the contract, the Alexandria-based company will procure, monitor and track parts, industrial hardware and other items, delivering repairs directly to maintenance facilities.

 

“With our cutting-edge transportation and supply chain solutions, we can monitor product flow to identify even the smallest deviations and ensure that the Army’s repair parts are delivered in an effective and timely manner,” said Dan Mongeon, president and CEO of Agility DGS.

 

The IPV contract award follows other significant wins by Agility DGS. The Defense Energy Support Center recently awarded Agility DGS contracts to manage bulk fuel facilities at U.S. Air Force installations in Europe and Asia. Agility DGS also was selected by the Joint Contracting Command-Iraq for a Theater Wide Trucking contract to handle the transportation of reconstruction material and equipment throughout Iraq.
