LOGCAP IV for Dummies (Updated 05-27-2010)

LOGCAP IV for dummies(Last updated Feb 27, 2010) By now everyone  knows the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program IV () has been split up and three primary contractors have been approved to submit bid proposals for the individual task orders.  The three companies are Fluor, Dyncorp and KBR. I know…old news. But I keep getting asked who has been awarded which task orders. Especially the task orders has been awarded, after the PWC/Agility FUBAR came to light. I figured I could just “google it” get an easy answer and that would be it. Boy was I wrong. The more I read the more confused I got.

I decided to share what I’ve learned. (If you are a contract expert and find I’m in error, please contact me so I can correct it.) Not only are there three companies who have been approved to submit proposals, each company has their own contract number. Evidently task order numbers are assigned the next consecutive number under the winning companies contract after they have been awarded. That’s where I got confused, duplicate task order numbers and multiple contract numbers. Unlike III, one company, one contract number. There is also a fourth contractor, SERCO who has been awarded a contract for analysis, planning and logistics support.  From what I’m told this is primarily administrative.

Dyncorp – Contract # W52P1J-07-D-0007 International is teamed with CH2M Hill for . Agility Defense and Government Services (formerly PWC Logistics) was initially a part of this team but was indicted on fraud charges and suspended from Government contracting pending investigations.  (click HERE for more info)

  • Task Order 1 – Program Management Office Staffing – $1.7M
  • Task Order 2 – Services in support of Kuwait Area of Operations – $77M for a transition period and one year at full performance. Up to four option years may also be awarded at the discretion of the government.
  • Task Order 3 – Support of Udairi Airfield Kuwait – $20.8M for a transition period and one year at full performance. Up to four option years may also be awarded at the discretion of the government.
  • Task Order 4 – Logistics support for the Afghanistan-South Area of Responsibility – $643.5M for the one-year base plus four one year options with a total evaluated value of $5.874 billion.

Fluor – Contract # W52P1J-07-D-0008 is teamed with for .

  • Task Order 1 – Program Management Office Staffing – $331K
  • Task Order 2 – Services in support for Afghanistan Area of Operations (AOR) Expansion – $68.9M for the period of performance one-year with four unpriced option years.
  • Task Order 3 – Services in support of Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) Kuwait- $4.5M for a transition period and one full year at at full performance. Up to four option years may also be awarded at the discretion of the government.
  • Task Order 4 – Services in support of the Afghanistan South Expansion – $247M for the period of performance one-year with four unpriced option years.
  • Task Order 5 – Logistics support for the Afghanistan North Area of Responsibility (AOR) – $634.2M for the one-year base plus four one year options with a total evaluated value of $7 billion.
  • Task Order 6 – Logistics support of the U.S. military’s humanitarian relief operations in Haiti.  The initial value of the task order is $50,000, with a performance period of 30 days. However, both the value and the performance period of the task order can be expanded as the need for services provided under expands.

KBR – Contract # W52P1J-07-D-0009

  • Task Order 1 – Program Management Office Staffing – $852K
  • Task Order 2 – CTP – Corps Logistics Support Services (CLSS), Theater Transportation Mission (TTM), Postal Services, Ice Plant Operations, and some Air Terminal Operations to support the U.S. armed forces throughout Iraq – $2.345B.
  • Task Order 3 – Support U.S. Army and Navy missions at five sites in Bahrain. The Period of Performance is one base year plus one option year and is valued at approximately $28M.

SERCO – Contract # W52P1J07D0010 – Services in support of analysis, planning support and logistics – $45 M for the one base year with four option years with a total evaluated value of $225M.

Forseti recently published a post about and task orders HERE. According to internet sources yet to be confirmed, there are a total of 11 task orders for . Seven of which have been awarded so far, not to include Task Order 1 for each contract, that’s administrative. That means there are still four task orders to be awarded, most likely for Iraq.

I believe there is only one task order up for grabs right now and that’s the Corp Logistics Support, Transportation and Postal(CTP) task order in Iraq. It’s similar to the current Theater Transportation Mission (TTM) task order currently in place. With teamed with Agility and with Agility currently suspended from any future contracts, I’d say is out. could get it, but but I doubt it. I think the DoD wants to shy away from anymore bad press. I think will get it, call it woman’s intuition.

Keep in mind is still deeply entrenched in Afghanistan working under III. As and transition the camps and Forward Operating Bases should be phased out. I don’t know if they will ever be completely out of Afghanistan. They aren’t going to go willingly.

    (cross posted from another post)

    I spent two months with Fluor in FOB shank on Task order 2 as a work control supervisor. This company likes to sing it’s own praises but is the most unprofessional company I ever worked for. They are signing to say they are maintaining assets when they have no idea where half of them are. I hope uncle Sam catches up with this bunch and nails them

    Here is a great link sent to me about these and other contracts from our friends at The Project On Government Oversight (POGO.org) http://www.pogo.org/

    http://www.ffata.org/ffata/

    The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) was signed on September 26, 2006. The intent is to empower every American with the ability to hold the government accountable for each spending decision. The end result is to reduce wasteful spending in the government. The FFATA legislation requires information on federal awards (federal financial assistance and expenditures) be made available to the public via a single, searchable website. Federal awards include grants, subgrants, loans, awards, cooperative agreements and other forms of financial assistance as well as contracts, subcontracts, purchase orders, task orders, and delivery orders. The legislation does not require inclusion of individual transactions below $25,000 or credit card transactions before October 1, 2008.

    Let me add to the confusion. In addition to the three contracts for contractors supporting operations, there is a fourth contract; the LOGCAP Support Contract.

    LOGCAP was designed to include a strong planning function to support the Army, especially the Combatant Commanders. LOGCAP would prepare a World-Wide Support Plan, along with specific regional support plans. These would be developed with the Combatant Commander’s OP Plans for anticipated possible operations in their area.

    When I developed the LOGCAP IV strategy, to include competition for operation support among three contractors, we spent a bit of time considering how the planning function would be done. We decided a fourth contractor, who would not do any operations, would develop plans that each of the operational contractors could perform.

    I anticipated that we would obtain the services of a strong contractor such as SAIC or Booz Allen. However, the Army had already hired, on a sole source basis, a contractor named RCI to perform some support functions. They were bought by SERCO, a British company. Evidently the word was out that SERCO would win the support contract so contractors like SAIC and Booz Allen teamed with SERCO, instead of competing. SERCO now has the support contract, W52P1J-07-D-0010. Only one firm competed and they were not up to the SERCO team proposal.

    Also, contrary to my plan this contract uses SERCO to provide financial analysis of the operational contractors proposals, instead of DCAA. I consider this an inherently Governmental function. The main result is that DynCorp’s Task Order 2 now has a significant Request for Equitable Adjustment (REA) from the contractor asking for more money.

    The Commission on Wartime Contracting has asked the Army to explain why they do not use DCAA and have not received an adequate answer.

    I fear that the Army will repeat the mistakes of LOGCAP III on LOGCAP IV because they have not done a real Lessons Learned on LOGCAP III.

      I saw the SERCO company name as I was researching. I wasn’t quit sure what that was all about because I hadn’t heard of them before. (I guess the Army forgot to call me and fill me in :) ) Thank you. I will update the post.

      As always you contributions to MsSparky.com are an invaluable resource to our readers. If you ever want to “guest post” let me know.

    Hmmm, wonder if this means they are going to soon be giving out the rest of the task orders for Iraq?
