DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT/SERVICE PROVIDED:
EG&G provides a wide range of logistical and support services for the Defense Distribution Depot, Barstow, California (DDBC). These services include:

Receipt of materials: EG&G personnel are solely responsible for the accurate and timely processing of materials received at both the Nebo and Yermo DDBC sites. These services include (but are not restricted to):

Storage: EG&G's warehousing personnel are primarily responsible for the care and maintenance of over 49,000 NSNs and major commodities housed at DDBC including electronic parts and components, radioactive material, electrostatic discharge items, industrial/general supplies, clothing and textiles, replacement parts for military equipment, engines and transmissions, shafts, reduction gears, wire cable furniture, boats, anchors, radar units, and propellers.

Issue: EG&G's commitment is to "issue the correct materiel in the correct quantity and condition code at the correct time, every time". Depot personnel make themselves available on a 24/7/365 basis to serve the needs of the war fighter, guaranteeing response to non-duty hours emergency requests within two hours of receipt. EG&G provided services include:

Nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) testing: Licensed, highly trained EG&G personnel are responsible for the periodic and item manager driven inspection and testing of NBC gear.

Mobile crane and rigging support includes the loading and offloading of large equipment and military vehicles at both the Yermo and Nebo sites by fully certified and licensed EG&G employees. The company also provides blocking and bracing services as well as container handler (RTCH) support on an on-call basis at the National Training Center, Ft. Irwin.

Packaging and marking: In accordance with customer requirements, military standards, and the special requirements of shipping goods to sometimes less than ideal locales for off-loading, EG&G's staff of experienced packers provide upgraded protection for more than 5,000 mission critical items shipped annually from DDBC.

Container manufacturing: In its 29 months of operations through 1/31/03, EG&G's container manufacturing operations have designed, planned, and constructed over 2,500 shipping and storage containers in accordance with customer requirements and/or ASTM standards. Adept in designing containers capable of handling special load bearing requirements and material configurations, EG&G's experienced box shop staff has met and exceeded all contractually specified standards for timeliness and production of containers to customer specifications and applicable regulations.

Kit assembly/disassembly: Having acquired ex-Government employees with strong knowledge of specialized kitting processes as part of its initial hiring phase, the depot has become a preferred source for the assembly, modification, and disassembly of a variety of specialized kits. Periscopes, repair kits, and many other item sets have been broken apart or reconfigured by EG&G's versatile workforce. The depot has developed a specific competency in the modification of GP-Medium and GP-Large tents, renovating over 2,000 of these units during the course of the contract for active use by the war fighter worldwide.
