Air Force Contract Augmentation Program III (AFCAP III)

Air Force Education and Training Command established this Master IDIQ on October 1, 2005, and the last date to order under it was September 30, 2015—the vehicle is no longer active. This unrestricted, multiple-award IDIQ was succeeded by Air Force Contract Augmentation Program IV, awarded June 25, 2015. Over its ten-year ordering period, the vehicle issued 288 task orders with a combined potential value of $2.35 billion, of which $2.13 billion (91 percent) has been obligated. Recent activity remained steady: the last five years (2011–2015) averaged roughly 19 orders per year, with 2015 posting 21 orders before the ordering deadline closed.

The vehicle contracted base life support, logistical support, and installation services at Air Force and subordinate command installations worldwide, including combat and contingency locations in Southwest Asia, the Middle East, and Afghanistan. Task orders covered facility operations and maintenance (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, power production, water treatment, housekeeping, civil engineering base operating support), engineering support services, vehicle and aircraft fuels management, firefighting and emergency services, air traffic management, and ancillary supplies for operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, and Alaska.

Readiness Management Support LC dominates the vehicle, holding 121 of 288 orders (42 percent) and $1.27 billion in combined potential value (54 percent of the total). URS Berger Joint Venture follows with 64 orders and $512.3 million. The next three primes—Dyncorp International LLC, Ckgs LLC, and Washington Group International—collectively hold roughly $560 million in potential value, with competition spread broadly among only six total awardees. Customer funding concentrated within Air Force organizations: Air Force Education and Training Command placed 156 orders (54 percent) with $712.4 million in potential value, while Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center placed 67 orders with $1.3 billion. All 288 task orders were unrestricted, non-set-aside awards. Individual task-order ceilings ranged from under $33,000 (supplies) to over $31 million (facility operations), with firm fixed-price predominating and occasional cost-plus-fixed-fee structures used for engineering and maintenance services. Performance occurred at named forward locations, U.S. installations in Alaska and Colorado, and regional bases across Southwest Asia.

The Air Force Contract Augmentation Program (AFCAP) provides commanders and/or any Government agency a responsive, force multiplier option. The purpose of this contract is to draw on the resources and expertise of a support contractor to provide a full range of base life/operating support and logistical support on an as required basis.
