UD Receives Contract Modification from Anniston Army Depot for M113 Work Worth Up to $47.4M
(Source: United Defense Industries; issued Oct. 1, 2004)
ANNISTON, AL --- United Defense Industries, Inc. has been awarded a contract modification from Anniston Army Depot worth up to $47.4 million for the overhaul of M113 armored personnel carriers.
This indefinite quantity and delivery contract for M113 work allows Anniston Army Depot to call upon United Defense to perform various services for up to 325 vehicles in 2005 and 2006. This modification to the original contract, awarded in July, brings the total potential value to $48.8M.
“This contract continues United Defense’s long standing relationship with Anniston Army Depot and raises it to a new level of flexibility,” said Tim Balliett, Program Manager for United Defense’s Steel Products Division vehicle upgrade facility. “With the increased operating tempo of this versatile vehicle and an unknown number destined for overhaul in the next two years, the Depot now has the mechanism in place to help manage its workload by contracting portions of the effort on M113s to United Defense. Our objective is to work with the Depot to ensure that the soldiers who need these armored vehicles will have them on time.”
United Defense is the original equipment manufacturer for the M113 family of vehicles, with 14,500 currently in the Army’s active fleet.
