HOUSTON, June 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR, Inc.
(NYSE: KBR) announced today that its global government services
business, KBRwyle, has been awarded a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract
modification to provide base life support services to the U.S. Army
throughout Iraq in support of
Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR). The Army Contracting Command
(ACC) awarded this one-year task order modification, exercising the
third option year on the task order. The ACC awarded the original
task order in December 2014 under the
Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) IV contract.
Under this contract, KBRwyle will continue to assist the Army in
meeting base life and logistical requirements for its deployed
forces. KBRwyle's support will include firefighting, power
generation and morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR). KBRwyle will
also provide waste and facilities management including custodial,
laundry, post office, food and water, vector and pest management
services.
In addition, KBRwyle will help transport and load cargo, as well
as oversee fuel handling and airfield operations at military sites
in Erbil, Al Asad, Taji, Al
Taqaddum, Al Bashur and Q-West in
Iraq.
"We have a legacy of serving the U.S. military, and are proud to
continue through this task order modification," said Byron Bright, KBRwyle President. "Whether it is
preparing dinner for our soldiers or refueling an aircraft on the
flight line, KBRwyle will go on providing dependable and expert
services to the Army."
KBRwyle has provided military contingency support to U.S. and
allied forces through multiple LOGCAP contracts for more than
twenty years. KBRwyle's international footprint and military
readiness expertise enables it to rapidly mobilize and respond to
the military's combat and exercise support needs.
Estimated revenue associated with this task order modification
will be booked into the backlog of unfilled orders for KBR's
Government Services business segment.
