Akima secures $563 million contract to support Redstone Arsenal

Akima Facilities Operations (AFO), a subsidiary of Akima, has been awarded a significant contract to provide installation support services at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama.

This contract, granted by the U.S. Army Contracting Command – Redstone (ACC-R), spans a potential 10-year period and could be valued at $563 million if all options are exercised.

Scott Rauer, President of Akima’s Facilities Solutions Group, expressed the company’s enthusiasm for the project.

“Akima is honored by this contract award and the opportunity to expand our support to the Army at such a critical facility. Redstone Arsenal serves as a hub for various national defense operations, including technology development, research, and program management,” said Rauer. “As a federal center of excellence, Redstone Arsenal hosts over 65 tenant agencies. Its importance to northern Alabama and the nation is unquestioned. Akima is proud to support such a vital installation.”

Under the contract, AFO will deliver a comprehensive range of facility support services to several key tenants at Redstone Arsenal.

These tenants include the U.S. Army Materiel Command, U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, Space and Missile Defense Command, multiple Program Executive Offices, and divisions of the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Missile Defense Agency.

The services provided will encompass engineering, environmental services, and maintenance for facilities and equipment.
