Africa Peacekeeping Sole Source

The contract involves a sole source award to DynCorp International for providing ongoing peacekeeping support services in the Central Africa region. These services, which include peacekeeping training, sustainment, and construction, continue under the authority of the Basic Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract originally awarded in 2003 through a competitive process. This sole source contract is issued to bridge operations while a new follow-on ID/IQ contract is being recompeted, with a designated performance period from August 1 to October 31, 2009. The contract cites FAR 6.302-1, noting that only one responsible source is available, and thus no bids, proposals, or capability statements are being accepted. Key details include the solicitation number SLMAQM03C0034 and NAICS code 541618, which relates to management consulting services. The contract management is handled by contract specialists Rachel R. Hughes and Kelly M. Bracey, with contact information provided for both. While specific location details for performance and the contracting agency are not listed, the contract actions maintain continuity of critical peacekeeping functions in the region until the recompete process is finalized.
