ITT recently announced a contract from U.S. Army Contracting Command to provide supply, food service, transportation, public works, community service, medical, safety, environmental, fire, and postal operations support at Camp As Sayliyah, and other American military facilities in Qatar. The award has a 1-year base period with options for up to 4 more years, and would be worth about $125 million with all options exercised.
