Raytheon has won a prime place on a U.S. Air Force contract to compete for task orders to provide training services and support services.

The multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity Training Systems Acquisition III contract is for 10 years and carries a total value of $20.9 billion.

"We are more than ready to support the U.S. Air Force to maintain mission readiness when and wherever needed," said Dave Wajsgras, president of Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services. "This is a perfect opportunity for us to build on Raytheon's exemplary record of cost-effective, best-in-class training services."

Under the award, Raytheon will be eligible to provide lifecycle management for aircrew, maintenance and systems-specific training systems worldwide.

Raytheon said its services would include the use of its Automated Toolset for Lifecycle Activities and Services Management Information System, a web-based system for real-time management oversight in the areas such as finance and property and training device sustainment.

"In use for the U.S. Army's Warfighter FOCUS program, the system can accurately track more than 30 million spare and repair parts and provide lifecycle management data to more than 6,000 users and 150 companies across 400 locations around the world," Raytheon said.

The company also maintains a support center that can rapidly ship spare and repair parts for training devices.
