ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, TENN. --  The Air Force announced this week an award fee rating of 92 for the Arnold Engineering Development Complex's (AEDC) operating contractor, Aerospace Testing Alliance (ATA), for the period Oct. 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014.

In a note to the ATA workforce, General Manager Steve Pearson said, "All of you should be proud of not only the score but all the work you performed for AEDC's customers either directly or indirectly. It takes every one of us to deliver the mission and it was clear we were running on all cylinders.

"We thank you for all you do. We have a lot of work in our future and a lot of changes with the [contract] transitions. In the meantime we must remain focused on the work and do our best for our customers."

The current services contract with ATA for the operation, maintenance, information management and support of AEDC will expire Sept. 30, 2015.

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

The AEDC test and support contract was awarded to ATA on June 30, 2003. The operating contract is for up to 12 years and worth potentially $2.7 billion.

ATA is a joint venture of Jacobs Engineering, PAE - a provider of integrated global mission services, and GP Strategies Corporation.
