Operational Highlights
- Revenue on our Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Program for the first six months of 2017 increased 72% year over year, primarily resulting from the transfer of two frigates to Taiwan completed in March 2017. Revenue also increased from our equipment sustainment, refurbishment, logistics support, and parts supply services for our U.S. Army clients.
- Our Federal Services Group was awarded a task order under the United States Air Force Contract Field Teams (CFT) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract, supporting the 18th Equipment Maintenance Squadron at Kadena Air Base in Japan. The task order consists of a one year base period of performance with two one-year option periods and a total value of $22.3 million.
- Our Federal Services Group was awarded a task order to continue providing support services to the U.S. Army Reserve Command (USARC) for its Equipment, Engineering, Maintenance and Logistics Readiness Program. The task order consists of a one-year base period of performance and two one-year option periods, with a total value of $17.8 million.
- Our Federal Services Group was awarded several delivery orders during the second quarter of 2017 under our FMS support contract with the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) International Fleet Support Program Office totaling $14.9 million.
- Bookings in our Federal Services Group were $281 million for the first six months of 2017 compared to revenue for this group of $214 million. Funded contract backlog at June 30, 2017 was $386 million, compared to $359 million at March 31, 2017 and $294 million at June 30, 2016.
