The U.S. Department of State has selected DynCorp International
(NYSE:DCP) as one of four awardees under the AFRICAP recompete, which
supports regional stability in Africa by building the capacity of
African countries and regional organizations to prevent, manage and
resolve conflicts on the African continent. The Department of State
currently is supporting programs and initiatives for conflict resolution
and stability in Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Somalia,
Liberia, Sierra Leone, the Economic Community of West African States
(ECOWAS) and the African Union. This new multiple award, indefinite
delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract is a follow-on contract to
DynCorp International’s Africa Peacekeeping contract under which it
supported contingency and security sector reform programs in Africa for
the State Department.
The new AFRICAP contract establishes a mechanism for awardees to compete
for task orders to provide training and advisory services, equipment
procurement, logistical support services, and construction services to
African countries. The period of performance is a base year plus four
1-year options beginning on September 11, 2009. During the performance
period, the customer shall place orders with each company for a
guaranteed minimum of $500,000, with a maximum ceiling value across all
four IDIQ contracts of $1.5 billion over the life of the contracts. Each
company has a contract ceiling of $375,000,000.
“This is an important opportunity for DynCorp International to continue
supporting the work of the Department of State in Africa through
contingency operations, training and mentoring, and logistics services,”
said DynCorp International CEO William L. Ballhaus. “It’s an honor to
support our government’s efforts to improve people's lives, and offer
them stability and security in their communities.”
