ATK wins $204 million in munitions contracts
ATK will supply non-US standard ammunition (NSA) to the US Department of Defense in support of international allies. The awards, received in August and September 2014 under ATK's Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity and Basic Ordering Agreement contracts, are worth a combined $203.7 million.
The contract will see ATK supply supply a range of ammunition and munition products under the NSA programme, for which ATK has been a supplier since its inception.

Mike Kahn, president, ATK's Defense Group, added: ‘ATK's ability to satisfy varied munitions needs provides a strategic advantage to the United States as it supports its allies across the globe.’
