KELLOGG BROWN & ROOT'S GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS RECEIVES CONTRACT FROM NATIONAL RECONNAISSANCE OFFICE
ARLINGTON, Virginia - Kellogg Brown & Root's (KBR) Government Operations has been awarded a Design and On-Call Construction Contract (DOCCC) from the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). KBR is the engineering and construction segment of Halliburton (NYSE: HAL).
Joe Lopez, senior vice president of KBR's Government Operations, discussed the strategic importance of the contract.
"KBR has been performing DOCCC work for the NRO since 1990 under a similar contract," said Lopez. "We are excited about continuing our decade long relationship with NRO and expanding the services we are able to deliver to include everything from front-end design through construction and turnover of each project."
The contract includes a two-year performance period, with three two-year options, for a total of eight years. Total contract value is expected to be $50 million if all options are exercised.
This contract is essentially a consolidation of the former On-Call Construction Contract (OCCC) held by KBR since 1990, and the Facilities Support Contract previously held by TRW. The DOCCC will provide engineering, design, construction, construction management, and technical support to the mission of the Office of Space Launch, based at Los Angeles Air Force Base in California. Work under this contract will also be performed at Vandenberg AFB, CA; Cape Canaveral Air Station, FL; Schriever AFB, CO; and other classified sites worldwide in support of the OSL, a directorate of the NRO.
"KBR is committed to providing total life cycle support to the NRO not only at project sites listed but in support of NRO operations around the world," Lopez said.
Kellogg Brown & Root's Government Operations is one of the world's leading providers of government support services. It employs 20,000 people around the world in the Americas, UK, Europe, Africa and Asia-Pacific. KBR offers lifecycle and program management from conceptual studies, engineering, project management and construction to operations, maintenance and logistics for major programs anywhere in the world.
