UNITED STATES : Boeing Awarded Contract for PBL Sustainment of C-17 Globemaster III
Publish Date : 10-Oct-2011
Boeing has been awarded a new performance based logistics (PBL) contract with the US Department of Defense to support USAF and international C-17s from 2012 through to 2021.
Under the terms of the new GISP contract, Boeing will be responsible for C-17 sustainment activities including material management and depot maintenance support.
\"C-17 GISP is a proven successful system-level PBL program. Since 1998, in partnership with the Air Force, Boeing has provided the highest mission-capable rate in Air Force airlift -- over 85 percent -- and one of the lowest costs per flying hour,\" said Gus Urzua, Boeing vice president and C-17 GISP program manager. \"This award marks the beginning of the Air Force\'s 10-year sole source sustainment strategy, and the program remains committed to continuing to deliver the best-value sustainment solution for our U.S. Air Force and international customers.\"
