GAO Ruling Puts Brakes On Army's $150-B LOGCAP Award
The next iteration of the U.S. Army’s huge, lucrative and controversial outsourcing contract for global military construction and logistics support is on hold as public and private parties battle over contracting decisions.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), the federal watchdog agency and contract protest clearinghouse, agreed last month to side with two firms unhappy with the Army’s choices to win the contract, better known as LOGCAP IV and worth up to $150 billion over the next ten years. But GAO then subsequently agreed to take another look at its own ruling, according to parties involved.
