On May 31, the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), awarded DynCorp International a contract to provide national aviation maintenance and logistics services. This hybrid Firm Fixed Price, Cost Plus Incentive Fee and Cost Reimbursables contract is estimated at more than $1.4 billion and consists of a base year plus nine and a half option years.
DynCorp is familiar with many of Fire Aviation’s readers due to their contracts with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CALFIRE) for maintaining and flying the agency’s nearly two dozen S-2T air tankers. CAL FIRE hires their own pilots for their 11 UH-1H Super Huey helicopters, but they are also maintained by DynCorp.
At the 2014 Aerial Fighting Conference DynCorp and Coulson Aviation announced a strategic alliance to work together to bid on aerial fighting contracts and provide those services if selected.
DynCorp will provide aircraft maintenance and logistics support services for CBP’s diverse fleet of fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft to ensure that the Government has the numbers and types of properly configured aircraft available to meet operational commitments. CBP’s aviation assets consist of approximately 211 aircraft at multiple locations in the Western hemisphere. The fleet is a mix of military and non-military, fixed- and rotary-wing, single- and multi-engine aircraft, including some modified and equipped with state-of-the-art, highly sophisticated sensor equipment.
DynCorp is based in McLean, Virginia and has 11,500 employees.
Of course. This admin is even more corrupt than previous ones. Defense contractors are salivating at the possibilities. Wait until Jared and Ivanka are in charge of wildfire.
One only has to peel back just one layer to see the relationship between the players in this company who have ties to the President and, there are several layers to this.
