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

depot partnering arrangements that utilize both parties' resources

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

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
