Allyn awarded government contract

Fort Myers-based Allyn International Services, Inc. has been awarded a contract for transportation management services by the Department of Homeland Security. The contract is for one year.

Allyn will be managing a total of 64 full truckloads from Dallas, Texas. Of those loads, 52 will be shipped to Lees Summit, Mo. and 12 will be shipped to Harrisburg, Va. Allyn will partner with J.B. Hunt Transport Services for transportation of the shipments.

"As the prime contractor for this assignment, Allyn will be responsible for overall transport management including on-time pick up and delivery," said Michael Smyers, Allyn business development manager.

In May 2006, Allyn received a 20-year contract to provide federal government agencies with logistics services. This is the second time that Allyn has been awarded a contract for transportation management services.

Allyn has offices in North America, Europe and Asia with its headquarters locations in Fort Myers, Shanghai, China, and Prague, Czech Republic.
