ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, Tenn. -- The Air Force announced an award fee rating of 94 for the Arnold Engineering Development Center's (AEDC) operating contractor, Aerospace Testing Alliance (ATA), for the period October 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010.

The award fee determining official, Gen. Wendy Masiello, gave the contractor high marks with excellent ratings in each functional area evaluated.

"Once again our work force did a great job," ATA General Manager, Dr. David Elrod, said. "It is only the second period in ATA's contract in which all individual award fee metrics were Very Good or Excellent."

Elrod said the company will continue to share the award fee money with employees.

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.

ATA is a joint venture of Jacobs Engineering, Computer Sciences Corp. and General Physics Corp.
