BAE Systems has been awarded a new $375.2 million contract for the procurement of long-lead materials in preparation for an anticipated contract to reset an additional 639 Bradley Combat System vehicles.

Under this newest order from the U.S. Army’s TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, the company will secure key long-lead materials and parts for an anticipated contract to reset 451 Bradley A3 vehicles and 188 Bradley Operation Desert Storm vehicles. An earlier delivery order, worth $135.2 million, was awarded Nov. 29 and a subsequent modification for $240 million awarded Dec. 21 last year.

This is the largest long-lead delivery order BAE Systems has received to date to reset Bradley Combat Systems vehicles. When combined with the $709.4 million contract awarded last month, for the reset of 1,042 Bradley Combat Systems, these newest orders bring the total value of the contracts BAE Systems has been awarded on Bradley work to $4.7 billion for Fiscal Years 2005 – 2008.
