 ManTech International has announced that it has received an up to $355 million contract from the U.S. Army Program Executive Office, Combat Support and Combat Service Support, and TACOM Product Manager for Assured Mobility Systems to provide rapid repair and sustainment of mine-resistant, ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles.

The competitively awarded contract has a one-year base, with a 12 month option period. The contract was awarded to ManTech by VSE Corporation, acting on behalf of the U.S. Army.

ManTech will provide maintenance, sustainment and logistics analysis to the RG31 and RG33 MRAPs. This contract extends current support and expands services to include maintenance and logistics for the RG33 for TACOM.

This contract is requirements driven and will be heavily dependent on operational tempo in the Southwest Asia region.

"ManTech has been supporting mine detection, mine retrieval, and mine protected systems in Southwest Asia since 2003," said Robert A. Coleman, President and Chief Operating Officer of ManTech International Corporation.

"We are proud to support these systems because we understand they play an important role in keeping our warfighters in Iraq and Afghanistan safe from the effects of many improvised explosive devices."
