The U.S. Army keeps chemical and biological detection equipment at sites throughout the United States and in at least 10 countries around the world. Battelle has a team of experts that ensures the equipment is readily available to those requiring it and ensures the equipment is in tip-top shape.
The six-month CBRN Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) contract, with a value of $13 million, began Jan. 1.
Battelle initially won a five-year, competitive award in 2008 for the contract. This new award constitutes the eighth consecutive year of CBRN CLS to be provided by Battelle, and will bring the cumulative value of this effort to over $470 million.
