Agility Defense & Government Services said yesterday, August 28, that it has been awarded a contract for warehouse and distribution services at the Defense Distribution Center, Kuwait (DDKS).

The contract was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

Under the one-year follow-on award, Agility DGS will use its extensive facilities in Kuwait to provide DLA with a complete warehouse management system to support operations in the Middle East.

DLA originally awarded the global supply chain solutions provider a one-year DDKS contract in 2005.

The potential value of the DDKS awards is US$180 million over five years, or about US$36 million a year.

“We are very proud of both our outstanding performance and the confidence that we have earned with DLA,” said Dan Mongeon, President and CEO of Agility DGS.

“Our advanced logistics experience, capabilities and facilities are unsurpassed in Kuwait. We are uniquely suited to continue helping the DDKS provide outstanding support to the US military.”
