Lockheed’s aeronautics segment will perform contract work at a company facility in Marietta, Georgia through April 30, 2020, the Defense Department said Wednesday.
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson AF Base is the contracting activity.
France’s request to purchase two Lockheed-built KC-130J aerial tankers and C130J transport planes from the U.S. under a $650 million FMS agreement was approved by the State Department in November 2015.
