The $93 million award aims to reduce the timelines and costs of repairs and future investments.
Leidos has secured a potential five-year, $93 million contract to provide weapons systems supply support for the Navy and Marine Corps.
The Technical Assistance for Repairables Processing contract is a new award from the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center, which aids NAVSUP’s Weapon Systems Support.
The contract has a one-year base with four one-year options.
Leidos’ work will support Navy and Marine Corps readiness by bringing traceability and control support for moving, controlling and tracking depot-level repairables worldwide.
One goal is to reduce the repair pipeline time and costs of future investments, said Jason McCarthy, Leidos senior vice president, engineering, integration and operations.
Leidos plans to develop a business intelligence dashboard with live data and reporting to put a more powerful decision support system at the fingertips of users, the company said in a release.
The TARP program also includes training on all aspects of the reverse supply chain, which is the movement of products back to the manufacturer. The training covers packaging of expensive military assets and the use of the Retrograde Management System, an IT system for visibility and accountability of materials that move through the reverse supply chain.
Leidos has now won seven TARP contracts since 2000.
