PASADENA, Calif., June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE: JEC) announced today that it received a $100 million ceiling increase to its Acquisition, Logistics, Management, and Business Operations Support (ALMBOS) contract with the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). Under the ALMBOS contract, Jacobs provides these services to USSOCOM headquarters staff, its service components, and the Theater Special Operations Commands.

This increase now makes the contract worth up to $400 million.

There are currently more than 250 Jacobs employees supporting USSOCOM worldwide under the contract, which went into effect May 1, 2002. ALMBOS is the follow-on contract to the System Engineering and Technical Assistance II contract USSOCOM awarded to Jacobs in 1997.

Jacobs serves as the prime contractor for the effort and draws support from both large business subcontractors and small business subcontractors.

In making this announcement, Jacobs President and CEO Craig Martin stated, "With the highly unpredictable global landscape precipitated by the events of September 11, 2001, properly supporting USSOCOM is more critical than ever given their unique responsibilities for organizing, training, equipping, and leading special operations forces for their worldwide mission in times of peace and war. We are proud to continue supporting this important client by providing a wide range of acquisition, business, and technical services through this contract."

Jacobs, with over 55,000 employees and revenues exceeding $9.0 billion in revenues, provides technical, professional, and construction services globally.
