ITT Corp., a White Plains-based provider of advanced technology products and services, announced today that it has been awarded a U.S. Air Force contract to provide drug surveillance services for the Headquarters Air Combat Command Acquisition Management and Integration Center at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia.

“This vital mission is a key component of protecting our hemisphere from the threat of illegal drugs,� Pete McKinney, president of the ITT Systems Division, said in a written statement. “ITT is proud to continue its 40-year legacy of partnership with Air Combat Command and its predecessor, Tactical Air Command — both in this theater and worldwide.�

The project started on April 1. The award for the phase-in and base period is $7.9 million, and the contract has a potential value of $194 million with all options exercised.
