Reston contractor will support Iraq's F-16 program

Reston-based Acuity International LLC has received a $127 million Air Force contract to provide base operational and security support for Iraq’s F-16 program, the Department of Defense announced Friday.
Under the contract, work will be performed at Iraq’s Martyr Brigadier General Ali Flaih Air Base and is expected to be completed by Jan. 30, 2023. The contract was a sole-source acquisition and involves foreign military sales to Iraq. A $62.2 million foreign military loan was obligated with the award, the Pentagon said.
The Pentagon named Sallyport Global Holdings Inc. as the awardee in its announcement. Sallyport was a subsidiary of Reston-based Caliburn International, which in late 2021 split to form two companies — Acuity International, focusing on technology services, and Valiance Humanitarian LLC, which took the former firm’s migrant detention contracts.
