KBR, Parsons Win Big Corps Contracts to Rebuild Iraq Oil Infrastructure 1/20/2004
The indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contracts are to be done on a cost-plus-award-fee basis. Carol Sanders, a Corps spokesperson, said six companies had made proposals for the contracts. She would not disclose the names of the unsuccessful contenders, saying that federal acquisition law "doesn't permit us to release that."
KBR has been working under a Corps contract on Iraqi oil projects since March. Halliburton Chairman and CEO Dave Lesar said, "This decision is an endorsement of the courageous work being done by Halliburton's employees in Iraq." KBR says that three of its employees and 25 contractors on the LOGCAP III project have been killed in action and four KBR workers and 29 subcontractors have been wounded in action.
