A Huntsville, Alabama-based company has secured a nearly $1.9 billion contract to operate and maintain Eglin Air Force Base’s testing facilities for the next decade.

  • Strategic Test Solutions LLC will provide operations and maintenance services for the Eglin Test and Training Complex and Major Ground Test Facilities under the contract, valued at $1,868,902,857. The U.S. Air Force announced the award on Dec. 30.

Services to be performed include operations and maintenance of test and training areas, technical facilities, test and training mission support, engineering support for range system design, modification and range configuration, as well as various other range support services required to successfully accomplish range activities at the ETTC.

Work under the contract, designated Eglin Operations and Maintenance Service II, is expected to continue through March 2036.

The contract was competitively awarded after the Air Force received three offers. Fiscal 2026 operations and maintenance funds totaling $100,000 were obligated at the time of the award.
