An Akima business has won a $199.77 contract to deliver base operations support for the 81st Training Wing at Keesler Air Force Base.
Under the potential seven-year award, Akima Intra-Data will provide a variety of management and engineering services to help maintain the training installation, Akima announced from its Herndon, Virginia-headquarters on Monday.
“We are proud to continue our support to the U.S. Air Force, delivering the base operations critical to KAFB achieving their mission objectives,” said Scott Rauer, president of Akima’s Facilities Solutions Group.
“With decades of experience at other Air Education Training Command bases and installations, this award demonstrates the confidence the Air Force continues to show in Akima as a trusted partner,” he added.
Specific contracted responsibilities include installation management, operations management, installation engineering, grounds maintenance, emergency management and vertical transportation equipment as well as supply and logistics, community, human resources and weather services.
The 81st Training Wing serves as a joint training facility, offering its services to Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and civilian agency staff.
Along with the 81st Training Wing, KAFB hosts the 81st Civil Engineering Squadron, the 2nd Air Force, 403rd Wing, 85th Engineering Installation Squadron and Mathies Non-Commissioned Officer Academy.
This contract follows multiple recent wins for Akima. Earlier this year, the organization’s Truestone subsidiary booked a potential five-year, $194 million award from the Army, under which the business is providing logistics and engineering technician support for the Tobyhanna Army Depot in Pennsylvania.
In October 2022, Akima Infrastructure Services received a potential four-year, $63 million contract from Consolidated Nuclear Security to enhance the proficiency of Department of Energy personnel in engineering, professional and technical services.
Last year, Akima’s logistics services business won a potential 10-year, $109.7 million Air Force Academy award to provide base support services for three flight training groups.
