The award supports “a wide range of environmental initiatives, including restoration, conservation, planning, and environmental quality for the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies,” the company said.
“Our team is honored to support the Air Force’s mission with innovative, sustainable solutions that address complex environmental challenges around the world,” AECOM President Lara Poloni said in a statement. “This contract reflects the trust our federal partners place in AECOM’s technical excellence and ability to deliver. It strengthens our role in helping protect natural resources while supporting operational readiness across global installations.”
A global environmental work order
Under the new contract, AECOM is tasked with providing comprehensive environmental services to the U.S. Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center, the Air Force Civil Engineer Center, and other Department of Defense and federal stakeholders. Services will span the full project lifecycle, AECOM said—from planning, assessment and investigation to construction-phase design and long-term operations and management support.
“AECOM is proud to continue supporting the U.S. Air Force with our industry-leading, integrated environmental and engineering expertise that aligns with national security and sustainability goals,” said Frank Sweet, CEO of AECOM’s global Environment business. “This contract exemplifies the rising demand for resilient, future-ready infrastructure that addresses both national security imperatives and environmental sustainability.”
Services under the contract are slated to be delivered over a five-year base period and a five-year option period, the company said.
