According to the Department of Defense (DoD), the contractor was awarded a $117,842,334 contract for base operations and security support services supporting the Area Support Group Kuwait.
Work will be performed in Kuwait, with an estimated completion date of Sept. 29, 2017. Kuwait Base Operations and Security Support Services 2.0 contract’s first year includes a four-month phase-in period that starts Sept. 30, 2016 with an eight-month base term between January 30, 2017 and Sept. 29, 2017.
The U.S. Army Sustainment Command awarded the contractor an 11-month task order contract modification that began August 1 to continue providing base life support and maintenance services in Afghanistan under the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) IV contract. The modification is valued at $111 million.
“This second extension and additional contract modifications demonstrate our customer’s confidence in DI’s ability to deliver unequaled support services to U.S. forces in Afghanistan,” said Contingency Operations Vice President Rob Tillery, LOGCAP IV program manager. “The LOGCAP team is proud of our exceptional work on this critical program.”
According to the Department of Defense (DoD), 5 major contractors are each being awarded an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, multiple award contract with the capability to issue cost-plus-award-fee and firm-fixed-price task orders for the purchase of short-term facility support services with incidental construction in support of natural disasters, humanitarian efforts, the full range of military actions, and incumbent breaks in service at various locations throughout the world.
Award to these five contractors will provide the government with a contract tool that can be used for responding/supporting requirements on a very short notice by competing the requirement among the multiple award contract holders vice undertaking a new source selection process for each requirement as it may arise.
