Axiom Wins Defense Logistics Contract
July 1, 2004
Falls Church, VA. Axiom Resource Management, Inc. announced today that the company had won an important new five-year contract to provide program management support to the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).
"The DLA is the Department of Defense's largest combat support agency," said Doug Peardon, Axiom Partner. "DLA has asked Axiom to help improve their business and management processes, and we're just the company to do it."
"This is a brand new business area for Axiom," noted Frank Cumberland, Axiom's vice president for marketing, communications, and strategic planning. "We look forward to delivering Axiom's blue ribbon quality support to a new and important client."
The DLA launched a program two years ago to apply emerging technologies and best commercial business practices to improve overall efficiency and productivity. The agency supplies almost every consumable item America's military forces need to operate, from toothpaste to jet fuel. It processes 45,000 requisitions each day, awards 8,200 contracts a year, and manages an inventory of materials valued at $83.2 billion. The DLA's Business Systems Modernization initiative is intended to streamline its supply and distribution system, shrink stockpiled inventories, and reduce costs while improving service to U.S. troops around the globe, and especially in the battlefield.
Axiom and its five divisions focus are specialists in the field of business process improvements, helping clients achieve higher performance standards and meet ever more ambitious business goals. Axiom's meteoric growth over the past five years has been built on its proven success at delivering innovative, durable business solutions. The TRICARE Management Activity, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Federal Aviation Administration, and other federal agencies are among the fast growing firm's government clients, along with a host of private companies and local governments.
Axiom is the prime contractor in this effort, and will be supported by Logistics Systems Incorporated, or LSI. A Service-Connected, Disabled-Veteran Owned (SDV) corporation headquartered in Northern Virginia, LSI was founded by experts in defense logistics specializing in logistics systems management and information technology services. "We're proud to be partners in this effort with LSI," said Peardon.
