Military Authority nets $3.2M contract

By The Mainebiz News Staff

Maine Military Authority in Limestone has secured a more than $3 million contract from the U.S. Army, helping to boost the company following a round of layoffs in March.

The company won a $3.2 million contract from the General Services Administration to refurbish 80 communications humvees for the Army Communications-Electronics Command, according to a press release from U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. The work comes two weeks after MMA won a contract of an unspecified amount to refurbish trucks for the Army National Guard. Both contracts are expected to keep the company's work force of 200 employed through 2012 and stave off layoffs.

Sen. Collins helped arrange a meeting with MMA and the General Services Administration to secure more work for the company, which in March laid off 150 people. The company had planned to lay off another 50 this summer.
