Company to Support Critical DoD Business Life Cycle Systems Management

MCLEAN, Va. -- Alion Science and Technology, an employee-owned technology solutions company, today announced it received a contract valued at $34,975,000 from the Army Contracting Center of Excellence (CCE) to provide Logistics, Maintenance and Supply Support (LMSS) to the Department of Defense (DoD), including the Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force. The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity support services contract runs for one year, with four, one-year options. If all options are exercised, the contract has a potential total order value of $187 million.

Alion will provide total lifecycle systems management for business processes incorporating the planning, implementation, execution and retirement of DoD LMSS activities.
