Defense contractor HII, which has a Dayton-area presence, said Monday its Mission Technologies division was awarded a $138 million recompete task order to serve the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Bombers Directorate, supporting U.S. combatant commands.

AFLCMC, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, is responsible for the sustainment and modernization of the Air Force bombers portfolio, including the B-1, B-2 and B-52, and for organizing, training, and equipping the Center’s B-21 System Program Office.

The contract augments the program office’s military and civil service capabilities with advisory and assistance services, HII said in a release.

“These services help to holistically track and manage programs and projects involving research, development, test, evaluation, production, modernization and life-cycle acquisition and sustainment activities,” the company said.

“Supporting the critical development and acquisition of Air Force bombers demands proven expertise across program management, engineering, innovative technology and more,” said Grant Hagen, president of Mission Technologies’ Cyber, Electronic Warfare and Space business group. “Our team is intently focused on successful mission execution, and we look forward to continuing to support Air Force solutions that deliver the warfighter advantage.”

It has a one-year term with four possible one-year option periods. Most of the work will be performed at Wright-Patterson.

HII’s support to the directorate is an extension of work performed under a previous contract awarded in June 2017.
