The GAO has ruled in favor of the Army regarding a $3.1 billion extension of KBR's LOGCAP V contract, dismissing a protest from Amentum-Parsons. The extension adds five years to KBR's contract for European Command, which was initially awarded in 2019.

The Army's decision was based on documented concerns including transition costs and administrative resource constraints. The Amentum-Parsons joint venture argued the extension was unjustified and bypassed planned competition for LOGCAP VI. Delays caused by protests have impacted the Army's timeline for future LOGCAP iterations, necessitating the extension of KBR's contract.
