Lockheed Martin won a competitive contract to support land-based vehicle sustainment over 10 years for all of the U.S. military's land-based vehicles. The initiative, called the Fleet Automotive Support Initiative- Global (FASI-G) program, could be worth up to $5.6 billion over the next decade.
FASI-G, administered by the Defense Supply Center Columbus, Ohio, is part of the Defense Department's initiative to improve logistics support to forces around the world, at the user level, through performance-based logistics.
Under the contract, Lockheed Martin will use leading indicators from military commands around the world, as well as predictive analysis, to establish a supply chain that guarantees delivery of automotive parts to warfighters in a defined time period while minimizing inventory and using an efficient distribution network. Pricing agreements with more than 350 suppliers - many of them small businesses - producing more than 1,200 different parts will ensure cost efficiencies for the military and a staple supply of all parts.
