DynCorp International Selected for New AFRICAP Contract

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – September 25, 2009 – The U.S. Department of State has selected DynCorp International (NYSE:DCP) as one of four awardees under the AFRICAP recompete, which supports regional stability in Africa by building the capacity of African countries and regional organizations to prevent, manage and resolve conflicts on the African continent. The Department of State currently is supporting programs and initiatives for conflict resolution and stability in Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Somalia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the African Union. This new multiple award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract is a follow-on contract to DynCorp International’s Africa Peacekeeping contract under which it supported contingency and security sector reform programs in Africa for the State Department. 

The new AFRICAP contract establishes a mechanism for awardees to compete for task orders to provide training and advisory services, equipment procurement, logistical support services, and construction services to African countries. The period of performance is a base year plus four 1-year options beginning on September 11, 2009. During the performance period, the customer shall place orders with each company for a guaranteed minimum of $500,000, with a maximum ceiling value across all four IDIQ contracts of $1.5 billion over the life of the contracts.  Each company has a contract ceiling of $375,000,000.

"This is an important opportunity for DynCorp International to continue supporting the work of the Department of State in Africa through contingency operations, training and mentoring, and logistics services," said DynCorp International CEO William L. Ballhaus. "It's an honor to support our government’s efforts to improve people's lives, and offer them stability and security in their communities."
