Comments on: It’s official…Agility is out of Afghanistan and Kuwait http://mssparky.com/2009/12/its-official-agility-is-out-of-afghanistan/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 12:15:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: White Rose http://mssparky.com/2009/12/its-official-agility-is-out-of-afghanistan/comment-page-1/#comment-6475 White Rose Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:03:34 +0000 http://mssparky.com/?p=7591#comment-6475 There was a story in the many of the news organisations last month. I copied the story on my blog at http://cindyiniraq.com/2009/11/feds-kuwaiti-company-conspired-to-defraud-us/. With that I am in a group on Facebook that is for people that worked on the IAP Iraqi Express. A few weeks ago they said they were looking for 30 drivers for Kuwait and the mail mission. It looks like the Army is going to pull the HL6 contract from PWC and IAP may be taking it over. I have not heard anything in the last couple of weeks from them so I don't know what is going on other then IAP put in a bid for the HL7 contract and were very confident that they would get it. Out of the companies that I worked for over there, KBR, IAP, & PWC, IAP was the best. I had more fun asn was treated better than the others. I can't drive a truck any more because of the fall and shattering my wrist last year, but if I could, I would go back over there with IAP in a heart beat!

The hearing will review whether the lessons learned from Iraq are being applied in Afghanistan. The hearing will also examine new findings from federal auditors and explore abuses in the award, management, and oversight of Afghanistan contracts. This hearing is the second in a planned series of hearings covering actual and potential waste, fraud, and abuse in Afghanistan contracts.

I was reading the news on the internet and i found out that a major supporter of afghan surge and advocate of staying course is a board member of Dyncorp. Gen (Ret) James McCarferty(Spelling) he sits on the board at Dyncorp. He gave a positive review to the job that Gen Petreaus was doing. Not sure if there is a big connection but just an interesting fact. I heard so much about Dyncorp, how they won a earlier LOGCAP contract in Bosnia and could not stand up and lost it. oh well maybe fluor will step up to the plate.

I'm not a contracting expert. But, the way I see it is that Dyncorp was awarded a LOGCAP IV contract under the premise they would be using Agility and CH2M Hill for certain portions of the contract. It was a partnership between Dyncorp, Agility and CH2M Hill that was awarded LOGCAP IV. That partnership is no longer in existence. Therefore I would think the DoD would have cause to terminate Dyncorp's LOGCAP IV contract. I need to ask a contracting expert, which I will do. If Secretary Gates would just return my calls and answer my questions it would make my job a lot easier! :) I don’t see how they can. I’m not a contracting expert.

If so will Dyncorp be forced to find another subcontractor? Inquiring minds want to know. Ms Sparky does that mean that Dyncorp won’t be able to fulfill there part of the Afghan contract?

I hope PWC gets kicked out of every contract they have over there. I guess you know about what is going on in Kuwait as well. I hope PWC gets kicked out of every contract they have over there.
