Anticipated Award Date Quickly Approaching

On October 20, 2017, the U.S. Army Contracting Command announced their intention to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP V) logistical support services in support of the U.S. Military worldwide. The full list of services provided by LOGCAP V includes, but is not limited to:

  • Setting the Theater
  • Supply Operations
  • Transportation Services
  • Engineering Services
  • Base Camp Services
  • Other Logistics and Sustainment Support Services
  • Minor Construction
  • Food Services
  • Laundry
  • Morale
  • Welfare and Recreation Services
  • Billeting
  • Facility Management
The U.S. Government (USG) intends to award a minimum of four, and up to six, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to the offerors whose proposals are determined to be the most beneficial to the Government. The LOGCAP V basic IDIQ contracts will consist of an initial five-year ordering period and options for five additional one-year ordering periods.

The estimated maximum dollar amount is $82,000,000,000.00 for all awards for the 10 year contract terms.

By way of context, the previous LOGCAP programs had the following "estimated maximum dollar amount[s]":
  • LOGCAP I (1992): $815 million
  • LOGCAP II (1997): $42 million
  • LOGCAP III (2001): $38.5 billion
  • LOGCAP IV (2008):  $150 billion
So, while LOGCAP V is slated to be smaller than the LOGCAP IV, the estimated maximum amount awarded remains far more than what was awarded in LOGCAPs I - III combined.

The anticipated date of initial awards is now December 19, 2018. As a result, we should anticipate an increase in hiring by contractors prior to that date with offers made conditional to the contractor being awarded a contract. Once the contracts begin to be awarded in December, look for a real "ramping up" of hiring and deployment.

I'll be checking the following sources religiously for any and all updates to the details of the new awards:
