Rockwell Collins and Warner Robins
Air Logistics Center (WR-ALC) have entered into a 10-year strategic
contract to enhance the availability of Rockwell Collins resources
and improve technical and logistics support to maximize operational
readiness. This indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract
has a ceiling of $3.6 billion.
Under the terms of the agreement, Collins Aviation Services

Rockwell Collins support expertise to provide transformational
depot partnering arrangements that utilize both parties' resources
to enhance mission capability.
"This strategic agreement will

avionics components; the result will be increased warfighter
readiness at reduced costs," said Harry Gregory, senior vice

Robins Air Logistics Center team in optimizing our respective core
competencies."
Colonel Bruce Litchfield, Director of the Warner Robins, Air
Logistics Center, Combat Electronic Systems Directorate added, "The
reason for this contract is to improve the effectiveness and
efficiency by which we support critical systems used by the men and
women engaged in our Nation's war on terrorism. In partnership with

with availability, reliability, and maintainability across a wide
array of systems. Anyone in DoD with a Rockwell Collins specific
system can take advantage of this ground-breaking contract.
Everyone wins under this arrangement."
