Defense Human Resources Activity chose IIE to manage the Project Global Officer, Language Training Center and Reserve Officers’ Training Corps programs under a contract valued at $187.2 million, according to a DOD notice published Thursday.
The agency received three offers for the five-year contract and is obligating $36.5 million on the award.
