L-3 wins OK flight ops pact

For the first time since civilian contractors began providing most services at Vance AFB, Okla., two firms will split the work load. L-3 Communications Vertex Aerospace took over all flight operations at Vance when awarded a $35.2 million pact to perform all aircraft support functions. The contract runs through Sept. 30, 2015. Previously, PAE-Applied Technologies LLC provided comprehensive base services on the flight line and off. But PAE was awarded a $43.5 million bridge contract to perform all other service functions at Vance through February 2016.
