“Amentum Parsons challenged the Army’s decision to extend KBR’s EUCOM support contract on a sole-source basis, arguing the justification was insufficient. The GAO denied the protest, effectively clearing the way for continued LOGCAP support operations across the European theater, including logistics, base operations, and sustainment roles that typically involve program managers, logistics specialists, maintenance personnel, and support staff across multiple locations.” — POC

The decision allows the Army Contracting Command–Rock Island to add five optional years of performance to task order W52P1J19F0394. The extension ensures continuity of services supporting EUCOM operations, where contractors play a key role in maintaining infrastructure, supply chains, and operational readiness across multiple European locations.

With the protest resolved, KBR is positioned to maintain its presence in the region, reinforcing its role in long-term LOGCAP operations tied to U.S. military activities and NATO-aligned missions.

The contract for worldwide aviation services — supporting the work of the Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, Office of Aviation — was initially awarded in September 2016. It calls for providing aviation support for the eradication and interdiction of illicit drugs along with personnel training, reconnaissance, personnel recovery, medical evacuation, security and equipment and ferrying of aircraft.

The Government Accountability Office denied DynCorp’s protest of the contract award in December 2016. DynCorp immediately took its case to the Court of Federal Claims, saying AAR purposefully poached DynCorp employees with previous experience on the contract. DynCorp had held the contract for more than two decades.

AAR, DynCorp alleged, then used those ex-DynCorp employees to obtain proprietary information to compete for, and ultimately win, the recompete of WASS in September 2016.

“While we are disappointed by the court’s decision based upon the facts and merits of the case, we are honored to have served the INL Air Wing program for more than 25 years, having a distinguished record of flight safety and operational excellence,” DynCorp said in a statement.

Don Wetekam, chairman of AAR Airlift, said in a statement that his team “is excited to begin work on this contract and deliver world-class service for this important national security program."
