ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, TENN. --  The Air Force announced today an award fee rating of 89 for the Arnold Engineering Development Complex's (AEDC) operating contractor, Aerospace Testing Alliance (ATA), for the period Apr. 1, 2013 through Sept. 30, 2013.

In a note to the ATA workforce earlier today, General Manager Steve Pearson said, "We are proud of every single employee and how you have handled yourselves through a tough year. I want to thank each of you from the ATA management team and our owners, Jacobs, PAE and GP Strategies."

ATA needed an average score of 90 for the fiscal year in order to keep the contract through Sept. 30, 2015, and their latest score secured the contract continuation. The midterm score was 91.

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.
