HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - March 09, 2017) - KBR, Inc. ( NYSE: KBR) announced today that its Government Services business, KBRwyle, has been notified it was one of eleven awardees of a multi-award task order contract by the U.S. Air Force's Civil Engineer Center for engineering and construction services in support of U.S. military operations worldwide.

Under the Worldwide Engineering & Construction (WE&C) contract, KBRwyle will have the opportunity to compete on task orders to provide a range of design, construction and engineering services for the U.S. Air Force.

Bradie notes that for more than 50 years, KBR has designed or constructed projects across the globe for hydrocarbons and government customers and that KBRwyle has provided mission-critical support to the U.S. Air Force for over 60 years. 'This contract is a great example of our ability to leverage our corporate expertise in program management with our strong customer relationships in the U.S. Government. Our ability to collaborate, and quickly allocate resources around the world demonstrates our unique value to our customers,' Bradie continued.
