Purchase Order FA542223P0039

The United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa awarded a $527,982.78 firm fixed-price purchase order to Gecoba for perimeter lighting infrastructure at Air Base 201 in Agadez, Niger. The contract, awarded on September 21, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2024, requires delivery of 413 concrete light pole bases, 413 15-foot metal poles, and 413 solar LED lights. Per the solicitation specifications, the solar lights must produce at least 6,000 lumens with a 10-hour runtime from 52-watt solar panels, and Gecoba must provide standard commercial warranties with service contact information prior to project acceptance. No set-aside designation was used for this competitive procurement.

Gecoba, a for-profit partnership headquartered in Nouakchott, Mauritania, is well-positioned to execute this requirement based on its extensive experience supporting U.S. defense infrastructure projects across Africa. The contractor maintains three significant Blanket Purchase Agreements with USAFE-AFAFRICA valued between $5 million and $7.5 million through 2026, covering procurement of construction materials including concrete, gravel, and concrete barriers. This award demonstrates the contractor's established capability to deliver specialized infrastructure goods and services in complex operational environments across the European and African theaters.
