DZSP 21, a joint venture between PAE and Parsons Corporation, has been awarded a potential $545 million facility and base operating support services contract by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Pacific, at Joint Region Marianas, Guam, PAE reported on Friday.

Under the contract award, DZSP 21 will utilize its innovative approach to provide continuous improvement in responsive and transparent operations support. The PAE-Parsons team will manage military facilities, utilities, port operations, base support vehicles and equipment. 

The U.S. Army National Guard, Department of Defense (DoD), Defense Commissary Agency, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and U.S. Navy have funded work through the end of the current fiscal year.
