January 29, 2010 (FinancialWire) — The U.S. Department of State has awarded DynCorp International (NYSE: DCP) a task order for operations and maintenance support in Liberia, under the AFRICAP contract.

The task order, with a value of $5.2 million for the initial six month base period, has a potential total value of $20 million over two years if all options are exercised.

Under the task order, DynCorp International will provide operations and maintenance support for facilities of the Armed Forces of Liberia at Edward B. Kesselly Barracks and Camp Ware in Liberia.

DynCorp International is one of four awardees under the AFRICAP contract, which is meant to support regional stability in Africa by building the capacity of African countries and regional organizations to prevent, manage and resolve conflicts.

Virginia-based DynCorp International is a government services provider in support of U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives, offering support solutions for defense, diplomacy, and international development.
