Information Updated Mar. 31, 2004
Subsequent to the Center for Public Integrity's lawsuit against the Army Corps of Engineers, the agency reviewed the classification of Kellogg Brown & Root's Iraq oil services contract. The basic contract has now been posted as well as certain declassified portions of the statement of work and task orders.
Brian Young
Young was awarded a $39,000 contract with the State Department, for work USAID in Afghanistan for the fiscal year 2002. The amount appears as a payment for "program management/support services" in the General Services Administration database. The State Department has not complied with any Center FOIA requests.
Camp Dresser & McKee Inc.
After the initial publication, the Center for Public Integrity received a partial copy of the USAID contract awarded to CDM International that calls for water and sanitation assessment work in Afghanistan. The documents, which have now been posted, confirm the Center's original reporting.
After publication, the Center for Public Integrity received and has posted a copy of a task order awarded by USAID to Chemonics International for economic, as well as food security, assessment. The total value of this order is $1,197,524; it is part of a larger indefinite quantity contract Chemonics has with USAID for work in Afghanistan.
Diplomat Freight Services Inc.
The Center for Public Integrity has received portions of the State Department contract awarded to Diplomat Freight Services Inc. for work in Afghanistan that we originally reported as valued at $2.6 million in 2002. That total, pulled from a U.S. government database, consisted of a contract worth $2.3 million and an amendment worth an additional $300,000. The documents received recently confirm that a contract originally was awarded on September 9, 2002, to construct the "ATA Camp Facility" in Kabul, Afghanistan, for a value of $2,294,276. ATA refers to the Afghanistan Transitional Authority, the temporary government set up by the United States, which consists of expatriated Afghans returning to the country.
The cost of the 900-square foot facility was estimated at $1.4 million—including $937,500 for construction materials and $462,500 for mobilization—plus $659,276 for personnel. The remaining $230,000 covered travel, equipment, housing and food.
The State Department did not provide a copy or explanation of the $310,000 amendment to this contract that is reported in the Government Services Administration database.
DynCorp (Computer Sciences Corp.)
The Center for Public Integrity has received portions of DynCorp's world wide contract with the State Department on which the company provides security services in Afghanistan, among other hostile areas. According to the documents, the work is tasked to a contract originally awarded to DynCorp Technical Services, of Fort Worth, Texas, on March 3, 2000, for "worldwide personal protective services." DynCorp's responsibilities include providing personal protection for Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai, the Presidential Compound, and the U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan, as well as protection to U.S. officials in Israel and in U.N. missions in Bosnia.
This original contract was valued at a maximum of $50 million, but the work in Afghanistan expanded the ceiling to a maximum of $82,263,898 by mid-July 2003. The value of task orders and amendments of Afghanistan-related work since September 2002 is at least $43,559,421.
The State Department first began to shift the focus of the original 2002 contract to Afghanistan by using contract amendments that would increase the value, add more work duties and extend the completion date. The earliest task order related to Afghanistan is dated September 6, 2002, and stipulates that DynCorp commence providing personal security for President Karzai, an assignment previously tasked to the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, for a period of six months to begin on October 30, 2002, with two six-month option periods available. Among the documents is a State Department report justifying DynCorp's contract extension into post-war security in Afghanistan, which was not advertised for competitive bidding: "There is no other contractor that can handle this current mission without delays," it noted. The report, which was approved on October 15, 2002, said its decisions were warranted because DynCorp was "the only company immediately available and qualified to provide," along with security services, the engineering ability to construct infrastructure and housing services required to accompany its security personnel. "Formal market research was not conducted," the report said, "… due to the urgency of the requirement."
General Electric Company
Per the Center for Public Integrity's FOIA request, dated June 30, 2003, the Center has recently received the Army Corps of Engineers contract awarded to GE Energy Rentals Inc., of Atlanta, for work in Afghanistan. The documents confirm that the GE's contract was awarded on February 4, 2003, at a value of $5.9 million and is to provide prime power services to U.S. airbases in Bagram and Kandahar, including the mobilization, installation and maintenance of generators, breakers and transformers. However, according to the contract, the completion date differs from that originally reported by the Defense Department. In fact, the contract stipulates a one-year period of work in Bagram from March 31, 2003, with four one-year option periods through 2007. The work in Kandahar was to begin simultaneously, but run only through May 31, 2003, with three three-month option periods. Due to "extreme weather delays," the start date of the contract was changed to no later than March 25, 2003.
On May 21, 2003, the completion date for work in Kandahar was extended through the first three-month option period, and the total value was increased by $605,043 to $6,532,913. On July 31, the monthly energy charge was adjusted for a net contract increase of $74,919, raising the total to $6,607,832. On August 28, energy charges were further increased and options extended for work in Kandahar. The fifth and most recent amendment to this contract, as indicated by documents provided to the Center, is dated September 12, 2003, and provides another increase of $193,661 for equipment requested by the government. At that date, the contract had reached a value of $6,801,493—a net increase of $873,623 from the original estimated contract value, six months after its initial award.
PAE Government Services Inc.
The Center has received portions of the original State Department contract awarded to PAE Government Services on January 16, 2002, for what was originally identified as "construction of office buildings" in Afghanistan, based on the contract description in a U.S. government database. The portions of the contract provided to the Center, though incomplete, indicate that the initial contract had a maximum value of just under $4 million ($3,999,256) and a 60-day period to complete its work. A series of amendments, however, immediately began to extend the contract life by several months and increase its value by more than 50 percent. Initially the total maximum value was raised to $5 million—$3 million for the housing and perimeter upgrade and $2 million for the upgraded perimeter wall. Upon review of the newly arrived documentation, the contract actually was for the construction of temporary housing and an upgrade of the perimeter wall at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, which eventually reached a value of $7,007,158.
Ronco Consulting Corporation
The Center for Public Integrity has received two more task orders awarded to Ronco Consulting Corporation, one for work in Iraq and one for Afghanistan. In Iraq, the State Department awarded a task order totaling $3,534,000 to Ronco for a "quick reaction demining force," which consists of demining teams that can be sent to mine-afflicted zones in a specified country within 48 hours of notification. Ronco was also awarded a task order from the State Department in March 2003 for demining work in Afghanistan totaling $1.7 million. This was in addition to the $3.1 million task order awarded in January 2002 for similar work.
Sodexho Inc.
In response to FOIA requests filed last year, the Center for Public Integrity recently received documents from the State Department confirming our reporting that Sodexho Inc. was awarded a food services contract worth $324,120 in 2002. The contract, dated August 21, 2002, shows that the award provided for the operation and maintenance of the cafeteria at the U.S. embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Stevedoring Services of America
The Center for Public Integrity received a partial copy of the contract USAID awarded to Stevedoring Services of America for the operation and management of the Iraqi Port Authority. The documents reveal that USAID tasked Stevedoring, now known as SSA Marine, with providing an assessment of the Umm Qasr port, valued at $642,370, an improvement implementation plan costing $280,987, and at least partial operation of the port under a cost plus fixed fee of $3,895,628. These activities are "to ensure that USAID-provided materials and supplies, and other cargoes including urgent food assistance and materials for reconstruction and rehabilitation, flow smoothly through seaports designated by USAID, specifically the Umm Qasr port in Iraq." No amendments or task orders were included to detail spending activities.
According to USAID, the amount spent ($14.3 million) on the contract has not changed since October 2003.
Correction Jan. 14, 2003
In our profile of Global Container Lines Ltd., we included incorrect information in the background section. The information regarding the Iraq contract was and remains correct. But the original company profile was based on information we acquired about Global Container Line, a subsidiary of Stonepath Group, which brought the error to our attention. We regret the mistake and have removed the incorrect text from our Web site.
A corrected company profile on Global Container Lines Ltd. has been posted.
