Baghdad Operations and Maintenance Support Services (OMSS)

The Baghdad Operations and Maintenance Support Services (OMSS) contract, issued under solicitation number SAQMMA-12-D-0165 by the U.S. Department of State through Acquisitions - Aqm Momentum, is an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicle designed to provide comprehensive operations and maintenance services across U.S. diplomatic facilities in Iraq. The scope encompasses a wide array of critical infrastructure functions including electrical generation and distribution, HVAC, water supply and purification, fire alarm and suppression systems, sanitary sewer and wastewater treatment, elevator maintenance, refuse and HAZMAT management, grounds and facility maintenance, light construction, janitorial and make-ready services, swimming pool and recreational area upkeep, road and parking infrastructure care, structural inspections and repairs, satellite TV system management, IT and communication network support, access control systems, laundry facilities, and maintenance of containerized housing units and commercial appliances. All services are performed in high-threat environments including the U.S. Embassy Baghdad, the Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center, Union III Site, and other Iraq-wide locations, with performance required to remain uninterrupted despite ongoing security risks, ordered departures, and logistical disruptions such as those caused by COVID-19. The contract has been maintained through a series of sole-source extensions justified under FAR 6.302-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency, with Amentum Services identified as the only entity capable of ensuring continuous operations due to its established local infrastructure, security clearances, supply chains, and institutional knowledge in Iraq’s hazardous environment. Extensions have been authorized through March 31, 2026, with each task order typically extended in 12-month increments under FAR 52.217-8, ensuring mission continuity without service disruption. No competitive acquisition process was employed, and no pricing, line-item costs, or evaluation factors are documented, as the available records consist solely of justifications, approvals, and determinations rather than competitive solicitation or award documents. Performance is subject to government inspection and acceptance at the service locations in Iraq, with final authority vested in the Department of State. While no specific quality standards, technical specifications, packaging requirements, or key personnel designations are detailed, compliance with U.S. government operational, safety, and security mandates for high-threat diplomatic posts is implicitly required, supported by documented agency certifications and past performance evaluations tied to prior contracts.
