Managing the LOGCAP Contract

Abstract

What is LOGCAP and Why Use It? * LOGCAP (Logistics Civil Augmentation Program) is an Army program that plans for the use of a contractor to support contingency operations around the world. Commanders are not required to use LOGCAP but it is available to them. LOGCAP is also available to the Navy and the Air Force as well as civilian government agencies. * The first LOGCAP contract was awarded in 1992, the current contract (LOGCAP III) was awarded in December 2001 for a 1 year period with 9 option years. * The use and scope of the LOGCAP contract is increasing because of force caps, a lack of organic capabilities, and the need to husband scarce resources to ensure they are available for other contingencies.
