Conti Federal Awarded $67.6M Contract to Expand Ordnance Storage at Naval Air Station Sigonella
Project expands munitions storage capacity and strengthens a critical Mediterranean operating hub
Conti Federal Services, LLC, a leading federal construction and design-build firm, has been awarded a $67.6 million contract by Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Systems Command (SYSCOM) Atlantic to construct new ordnance magazines at Naval Air Station (NAS) Sigonella in Sicily. The award marks the company’s second project at the key operating hub supporting U.S. and allied operations throughout the Mediterranean, enhancing the installation’s capacity to meet current and future operational requirements.
Conti Federal’s scope includes construction of four heavy-duty, earth-covered ordnance magazines with specialized seismic upgrades. The project also includes two modular storage facilities and associated site and infrastructure improvements. These facilities will provide storage for mission-critical munitions while enhancing the installation’s resilience to seismic events.
“Sigonella plays an important role in supporting operations across the Mediterranean, and this project will provide critical infrastructure to help sustain that mission,” said Robert Williamson, Business Development Director, Europe at Conti Federal. “We know this installation and the challenges of delivering complex construction in an active operational environment. Through our previous work at Sigonella, our teams built strong relationships with the Government and our trade partners that helped solve issues quickly and keep the work moving. We’re proud to bring that experience and those relationships back to Sigonella for this project.”
