ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, Tenn. -- The Air Force announced an award fee rating of 92 for the Arnold Engineering Development Center's (AEDC) operating contractor, Aerospace Testing Alliance (ATA), for the period October 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012. The award fee determining official, Randall Culpepper, gave the contractor high marks with excellent ratings in each of the six functional areas evaluated.

"Once again our work force did a great job for the Air Force and the warfighter," ATA General Manager Steve Pearson said.

Pearson said the company will continue to share the award fee money with employees in accordance with its policies.

ATA was awarded the center support and testing contract on June 30, 2003. The operating contract is for up to 12 years and worth potentially $2.7 billion. ATA currently employs more than 2,118 people from 15 Tennessee counties and four states.
