RTWS Termination for Iraq Border Security Project Phase I

The contract pertains to the terminated Iraq Border Security Project Phase I, managed by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency under solicitation number HDTRA123F0093, with a posted date of April 30, 2026. Performance was centered in Iraq and Jordan, focusing on equipping and training the Iraqi Border Guard Force through equipment procurement, facility enhancements, and transition of sustainment responsibilities to the Government of Iraq. Deliverables were governed by a comprehensive set of Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) items including the Master Equipment List, Transfer of Property, Training Plan and Products, Integrated Master Schedule, and various management and logistics plans. Although no formal FAR or DFARS clauses were present, the contract imposed stringent operational requirements such as compliance with the more stringent of U.S. or Iraqi environmental, health, and safety standards, mandatory country clearance and IBGF security passes for all personnel, and the exclusive use of the Cooperative Threat Reduction Single Shipper process for OCONUS shipments. All procured equipment required a minimum two-year, fully transferable warranty starting at Transfer of Property, and contractor personnel were solely responsible for their own security, with no U.S. or Iraqi government providing direct protection, though IBGF offered onsite escorts. Key personnel, particularly the Project Manager, had to hold a PMP certification and submit 30-day written notice for any changes. The contract included two optional tasks: upgrading containerized housing units at the Border Security Training Center in Jordan and constructing a virtual shoot-house, both contingent on prior approval of associated Facilities Requirements Documents. Financial details were not disclosed, with no CLINs, pricing data, or contract value identified, and invoicing methods, payment offices, or accounting codes were omitted. All submissions and deliverables were to be managed electronically under an implied digital project library, and the contractor had full responsibility for obtaining local permits, mitigating foreign tax liabilities, and coordinating all interactions with end-users and the U.S. Embassy exclusively through DTRA.
