DynCorp International Wins $20 Million AFRICAP Task Order in Liberia

FALLS CHURCH, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The U.S. Department of State has awarded DynCorp International DCP a task order for operations and maintenance support in Liberia, under the AFRICAP contract. The task order, with a value of $5.2 million for the initial 6 month base period, has a potential total value of $20 million over two years if all options are exercised.

Under the task order, DynCorp International will provide operations and maintenance support for facilities of the Armed Forces of Liberia at Edward B. Kesselly Barracks and Camp Ware in Liberia. Services provided will include electrical power generation, water supply, waste disposal, and vehicle maintenance. Under a previous task order on the State Department Africa Peacekeeping contract, DynCorp International recruited, vetted, and trained the basic infantry and non-commissioned officers of the new Armed Forces of Liberia.

DynCorp International is one of four awardees under the AFRICAP contract, which supports regional stability in Africa by building the capacity of African countries and regional organizations to prevent, manage and resolve conflicts.

“We are honored to continue our work supporting the State Department in contributing to peace and stability in Liberia,” said DynCorp International CEO William L. Ballhaus.
