Engility Holdings EGL today announced that the John A. Volpe
National Transportation System Center has awarded a multi-million dollar
competitive task order to the company to support a facilities planning project
related to the Federal Aviation Administration's NextGen program.
Engility will provide program management and economic analysis support to the
NextGen Facilities Program under the task order, which has a not-to-exceed
value of approximately $26.8 million; the period of performance for the task
order is 48 months from the date of the award (July 25, 2012).
NextGen is an umbrella term for the ongoing transformation of the National
Airspace System (NAS). NextGen represents an evolution from the current
ground-based system of air traffic control to an advanced satellite-based
system of air traffic management. When implemented, NextGen will allow more
aircraft to safely fly closer together on more direct routes, reducing delays
and providing benefits for the environment and the economy through reductions
in carbon emissions, fuel consumption and noise.
“Engility, through its legacy companies, has been a partner with the Volpe
Center for more than 20 years and we are currently working under several other
task orders with the Center,” said Tony Smeraglinolo, President and CEO of
Engility. “We are honored to receive this latest task order and appreciate the
opportunity to support the Volpe Center and its sponsor, the FAA, on this
aspect of the NextGen mission.”
Under the new facilities program task order, Engility will primarily provide
economists, systems engineers, and business analysts to help the Volpe Center
and its FAA sponsor in the planning, economic analysis and evaluation, and
program management strategy development for the NextGen future facilities
effort.
