Wyle Teams With Northrop Grumman on U.S. Air Force A-10 Task Orders Valued at Nearly $2 Million

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., March 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Wyle has teamed with Northrop Grumman to perform two task orders valued at nearly $2 million under the A-10 Thunderbolt Life-cycle Program Support indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract.

"We're ready to assist the A-10 community and the U.S. Air Force with working these two critical tasks."
