Vectrus loses APS-5 contract

Vectrus said today it was not selected to provide logistics support services in Kuwait and Qatar through the Army Prepositioned Stocks-5 -- or APS-5 -- contract.

Vectrus, the incumbent, said the contract is funded through Nov. 30 and could extend through Feb. 28. The APS-5 contracts have provided $93 million in sales through June of this year.

The Pentagon announced yesterday that URS Federal Services was awarded a $70 million modification for APS-5.

Vectrus has been focused on winning several major recompetitions. In particular, the Kuwait-Base Operations and Security Support Services or K-BOSSS program comprises about 30 percent of the contractor's revenue.
