Task Orders Awarded by Air Force Center for Environmental 

Excellence in Support of the Coalition Provisional Authority 

Executive Summary

Introduction: As of May 31, 2004, the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence 

(AFCEE) had awarded task orders valued at $481.2 million supporting the reconstruction 

of Iraq. AFCEE made these awards at the request of the Coalition Provisional Authority 

(CPA). Contractor execution of these contracts is overseen by AFCEE with the 

assistance of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 

Objective: The objective of the audit was to evaluate policies and procedures used by 

the CPA, the CPA Program Management Office (PMO), and AFCEE to award Iraqi 

reconstruction task orders under the AFCEE Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity 

(ID/IQ) contracts. Specifically, we evaluated those policies and procedures associated 

with acquisition planning, source selection, use of free and open competition, and 

contract negotiation. 

Audit Results: AFCEE’s role in the reconstruction of Iraq has expanded beyond the 

original role envisioned by the Department of Defense (DoD) and the CPA. The CPA 

had urgent reconstruction requirements, estimated to be $238.6 million, for the New Iraqi 

Army. DoD authorized AFCEE to support those requirements. As of May 31, 2004, 

AFCEE had awarded $439 million in task orders in support of reconstruction 

requirements for the New Iraqi Army. However, AFCEE has also awarded three task 

orders, valued at $42 million and has four pending task orders, estimated to be $48 

million, for reconstruction work not related to New Iraqi Army requirements. The 

expansion of AFCEE’s role has occurred because there was no agreement in place 

between CPA and AFCEE establishing the extent and nature of the work that AFCEE 

should provide under its contracts. AFCEE’s role in awarding task orders on behalf of 

the CPA is not clearly defined, and thus the continued use of AFCEE’s contract vehicles 

provides less transparency to the public then necessary. An agreement between the CPA 

and AFCEE would have clarified the scope of AFCEE’s support and lent transparency to 

the task order award process. 

Recommendation: We made one recommendation. The CPA’s successor agency with 

responsibility for reconstruction of Iraq should execute a Memorandum of Agreement 

with AFCEE to clarify the scope of projects that AFCEE is expected to support. The 

MOA should specify contractor requirements (such as small or minority businesses) and 

define mutual contract administration responsibilities. As necessary, the MOA should be 

updated so that it accurately reflects the business relationship between the CPA’s 

successor and AFCEE. 
ii

Management Comments. AFCEE and the Iraq Project and Contracting Office 

(formerly the PMO) concurred and have drafted an MOA to clarify the roles and 

responsibilities of their respective organizations. The MOA is expected to be completed 

by August 15, 2004. The MOA will address the scope of new construction projects 

AFCEE will execute on behalf of CPA’s successor, the Iraq Project and Contracting 

Office. The MOA also addresses roles and responsibilities between AFCEE, the Iraq 

Project and Contracting Office, and the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. The U.S. Army 

Corp of Engineer is the designated Iraq Project and Contract Office field oversight 

organization. 

Audit Response. The Air Force and the Iraq Project and Contracting Office comments 

are fully responsive. The MOA is intended to provide more transparency for the 

Congress and the public. Additionally, the agreement will define the services that 

AFCEE will provide the Iraq Project and Contracting Office through its pool of ID/IQ 

contracts and will provide CPA’s successor agency clarity on scope of use.

Background 

Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence. Before the Air Force Center for 

Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) was formed, there was no centralized office where 

Air Force commanders could go for assistance with their installation’s environmental and 

construction programs. That situation changed in 1991, when AFCEE was created as a 

field operating agency of the Air Force Civil Engineer, headquartered at Brooks 

City-Base, San Antonio, Texas. AFCEE’s mission is to provide technical and 

professional services in environmental and installation planning and engineering, and 

military housing construction and privatization. Throughout the 1990’s construction 

became a larger part of AFCEE’s mission. 

WERC Contract. The Worldwide Environmental Restoration and Construction 

(WERC) contracts are one of several current AFCEE contract programs. WERC is the 

fifth in a series of worldwide Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) 

environmental/construction contracts that began in the early 1990’s. The predecessor to 

WERC was the Environmental Remediation and Construction (ENRAC) contract. 

ENRAC had a $750 million ceiling, and the contract was expended 3 years into the life of 

the 5-year contract. AFCEE’s WERC contract has a program ceiling of $4 billion with 

the capacity to increase to $10 billion. 

WERC Contract Competition. There are two levels of competition in AFCEE’s 

WERC ID/IQ contract vehicles. During the first level of competition, 40 contractors 

submitted proposals to participate in WERC contracts, and 27 were awarded contracts in 

November and December 2003. Sixteen of these contractors are small businesses. The 

27 WERC contracts are identical, with the exception of the contractor’s rate structure and 

its various partners/subcontractors. Four of the 11 large contractors (or their affiliates) 

that were awarded WERC contracts were also awarded sector contracts by the Coalition 

Provisional Authority (CPA). A second level of competition occurred when each 

individual task order is competed among the 27 contractors awarded contracts. When 

task orders are to be issued, any of the 27 contractors are provided a fair opportunity to 

submit proposals for evaluation by the government. Final award of a task order is based 

upon the government’s evaluation of each proposal using technical and cost selection 

criteria that is in the best interest of the government. 

The WERC basic contract statement of work defined the scope of a full range of 

construction and engineering activities to meet all customer requirements. Construction 

and engineering activities may include environmental requirements, military family 

housing, light commercial projects, fuels projects, traditional military construction, 

community development projects, and emerging requirements such as homeland security 

and force protection projects. 

Congressional Mandate. P.L. 108-106 requires that appropriated funds for use in the 

reconstruction of Iraq be contracted out through full and open competition. Any 

exception requires approval of the Administrator of the CPA and the head of the 

executive agency; and it additionally requires notification to Congress within 7 days prior 
2

to the award of contracts under processes other than full and open competition. 

Congressional notification must include the justification for use of other than full and 

open competitive procedures, a brief description of the contract’s scope, the amount of 

the contract, a discussion of how the contracting agency identified and solicited offers 

from contractors, a list of the contractors solicited, and the justification and approval 

documents disclosing the determination on the uses of other than full and open 

competition. The competition requirement also applies to any extension, amendment or 

modification of a contract entered into prior to the enactment of P.L. 108-106. 

Use of ID/IQ contract vehicles. Since competition law does not require competition 

beyond that obtained for the initial contract and since each task order was properly 

competed, there were no legal or policy barriers preventing AFCEE from issuing task 

orders on behalf the CPA for the reconstruction of Iraq. The Federal Acquisition 

Regulation provides for the sharing of existing contract vehicles between agencies. For 

example, the Deputy Secretary of Defense assigned responsibility for acquisition and 

program management support for the CPA to the Secretary of the Army. The U.S. Army 

policy is to make maximum use of existing indefinite delivery contracts as their use 

generally results in reduced procurement lead-time. Furthermore, Army guidance also 

encourages the use of existing contracts and states that procurement officials should only 

pursue the award of a new contract, if there were no existing contractual vehicles 

(including other agencies contracts) that would satisfy the requirement. 
3

Objective 

The overall audit objective was to evaluate the procedures used by the CPA, the CPA 

Program Management Office (PMO), and the AFCEE leading to award of Iraq 

reconstruction task orders under AFCEE ID/IQ contracts. Specifically, we evaluated 

policies and procedures associated with acquisition planning and all processes leading to 

award of ID/IQ and subsequent Iraq Reconstruction task orders.

Transparency of AFCEE’s Role in the 

Reconstruction of Iraq 

AFCEE’s role in the reconstruction of Iraq has expanded beyond the original role 

envisioned by the Department of Defense (DoD) and the CPA. The CPA had urgent 

reconstruction requirements, estimated to be $238.6 million, for the New Iraqi Army 

(NIA). DoD authorized AFCEE to support those requirements. As of May 31, 2004, 

AFCEE had awarded $439 million in task orders in support of reconstruction requirement 

for the NIA. However, AFCEE has also awarded three task orders, valued at $42 million 

and has four pending task orders, estimated to be $48 million, for reconstruction work not 

related to NIA requirements. The expansion of AFCEE’s role has occurred because there 

was no agreement in place between CPA and AFCEE establishing the extent and nature 

of the work that AFCEE should provide under its contracts. AFCEE’s role in awarding 

task orders on behalf of the CPA is not clearly defined, and thus the continued use of 

AFCEE’s contract vehicles provides less transparency to the public then necessary. An 

agreement between the CPA and AFCEE would have clarified the scope of AFCEE’s 

support and lent transparency to the task order award process. 

CPA Use of AFCEE Contract Vehicles 

CPA Urgent Requirements. According to PMO, the NIA projects were a top CPA 

priority and had a target completion date for June 2004. Because there was insufficient 

time for the CPA to competitively award contracts and meet the construction target date, 

CPA searched for existing contract vehicles that they could use to assist in completing the 

project. CPA determined that AFCEE’s existing WERC ID/IQ contract was an ideal 

solution to meet their urgent requirements for the NIA renovation. AFCEE’s WERC 

contract had been competitively awarded and the Director of AFCEE made an informal 

commitment to provide up to $1 billion of contracting capacity. The CPA also cited the 

small business contractors in the WERC pool as an opportunity for the CPA to meet its 

own small business contracting objectives. 

CPA’s Request for Assistance. On December 7, 2003, a memorandum from the 

Administrator of CPA to the Air Force Chief of Staff requested assistance from AFCEE 

for the renovation of facilities for the NIA. The request stated that the CPA was engaged 

in an ambitious program to restore the infrastructure of Iraq and return the country to 

Iraqi control. An important part of this effort was the establishment of a NIA, which 

needed renovated buildings at former Iraqi military installations. 

The Administrator’s request also stated that the U.S. Congress approved a Supplemental 

Appropriation, which included $745 million to construct facilities for the NIA. The CPA 

PMO, which managed the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund (IRRF), critically needed 

a contracting vehicle to begin constructing facilities on or before January 15, 2004, to 

maintain the program schedule. The request also highlighted CPA’s desire to use the 

WERC contract that AFCEE had awarded. 
5

The project was valued at $238.6 million. As outlined in the request, the requirement 

included NIA facilities at Tadji, An Numahniya, Al Kisik, Umm Qsar, Krikush, Kirkuk, 

Al Hillah, and Baqcuba. The project was planned, programmed, and validated by PMO, 

and used IRRF dollars to fund the project. 

Approval of CPA’s Request. On December 29, 2003, the Director of AFCEE, 

confirmed that AFCEE had agreed to provide up to $1 billion in WERC contract capacity 

to support the CPA NIA requirements, pending approval from the Chief of Staff, U.S. 

Air Force. 

• DoD Approval Process. In response to the CPA Administrator’s request, the 

Chief of Staff, U.S. Air Force, coordinated the CPA request for assistance 

through the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). On January 15, 2004, the Vice 

Chairman of the JCS responded to the Air Force Chief of Staff and approved a 

memo, referenced subject, “Request for Assistance to Begin Contracting to 

Construct the New Iraqi Army.” The memorandum stated that the JCS 

supported the Department’s decision to begin the reconstruction and 

encouraged the Air Force to move forward in aiding the CPA Administrator. 

On January 16, 2004, the Air Force Civil Engineer informed the Director of 

AFCEE that AFCEE was cleared to proceed. On January 18, 2004, the 

Director of AFCEE informed AFCEE senior officials that AFCEE was cleared 

to assist in whatever capacity with their WERC contract. 

No formal agreement was prepared by AFCEE and the CPA to document the scope of the 

assistance AFCEE was to provide. 

Task Orders Awarded 

AFCEE’s role in the reconstruction of Iraq expanded beyond CPA’s original request of 

$238.6 million, (which was approved by the JCS), to renovate NIA facilities. As of May 

31, 2004, AFCEE awarded 15 task orders valued at $481.2 million to support the 

reconstruction of Iraq. On January 22, 2004, AFCEE made the first 4 awards valued at 

$191.1 million for the reconstruction of NIA facilities. According to AFCEE, the work 

called for in the 4 initial task orders is currently nearing completion. The next group of 8 

task orders, valued at $247.8 million, was awarded from March 26 through April 27, 

2004. These task orders were also for additional NIA facility projects. 

Task Orders Evolving Beyond Renovation of NIA. Beginning May 19 through 

May 25, 2004, AFCEE awarded 3 additional task orders valued at $42.3 million for 

non-NIA projects. These task orders include reconstruction of schools, government 

office buildings, and pumping stations. These task orders appear to be outside the scope 

of the CPA’s original request and JCS approval for assistance. The task orders include: 

• Repair and Renovation of Schools and Ministry of Environment 

Headquarters Building. On May 19, 2004, AFCEE awarded a task order 

valued at $29.2 million to repair schools located in 4 Iraqi Governates and 
6

renovate the Ministry of Environment Headquarters building. The scope of 

work for schools includes repairing or replacing sanitary and storm sewer 

works and plumbing systems, electrical systems, mechanical systems, the 

facility structure, and security. Tertiary work may focus on the assessment of 

facility additions. The scope of work for the Ministry of Environment 

headquarters building is to fully renovate the building, auditorium, and site to 

a fully operational and usable facility for headquarters functions. 

• Renovation of Ministry of Trade Headquarters Facilities. On 

May 19, 2004, AFCEE awarded a task order valued at $5.5 million for the 

complete reconstruction of the Ministry of Trade headquarters including site 

work such as sidewalks, parking, fencing, lighting, and roads. The scope also 

included civil works projects such as sanitary sewer and water systems, and 

electrical distribution systems, and other structural and architectural repairs. 

• Pumping Stations in the Cities of Karbala and Mandilee. On 

May 25, 2004, AFCEE awarded task orders valued at $7.6 million to repair 

irrigation pumping stations at Karbala and Mandilee. In Karbala, the scope 

includes restoring the pumping capacity of a pump station that conveys 

drainage water from productive agricultural lands in order to reduce soil 

salinity. In Mandilee, the scope includes restoring pumping capacity through 

rehabilitation of the pumps, pump station, operators’ housing, and grounds, at 

a pump station that supplies treatable raw sewage water to the local water 

treatment plant. 

Pending Task Orders. As of May 31, 2004, AFCEE had 4 pending task orders valued 

at $47.9 million. These task orders included: 

Project Description

Estimated 

Amount

1. Renovate Policy Academy $5,700,000 

2. Renovate Baghdad Airport $12,000,000 

3. Renovate Logistics/Police Academy at Erbil

$4,452,000 

4. Construct bridges at Al Madeen, al 

Sharquat, and Burbriz 

$25,792,957 

Estimated Total $47,944,957

The pending task orders and the task orders issued from May 19 through May 25, 2004, 

demonstrates a new scope of work that AFCEE is supporting and that was not in the 

original request from the CPA Administrator nor was it approved by the JCS. 
7

Lack of a Formal Agreement 

The issuance of task orders beyond the original request occurred because there was no 

agreement in place between CPA and AFCEE establishing the extent and nature of task 

orders to be awarded in the reconstruction of Iraq. As demonstrated above, the continued 

use of AFCEE’s WERC ID/IQ contract vehicle for projects beyond CPA’s original 

requirements for renovation of NIA facilities has become unclear. In the absence of any 

formal guidance, it is unknown whether it is proper for AFCEE to continue to accept 

additional requirements beyond the original request to provide support for the 

reconstruction of NIA facilities. 

An AFCEE official stated that AFCEE’s support of CPA’s reconstruction efforts began 

with such urgency that CPA and AFCEE did not foresee a need for a formal agreement, 

because AFCEE’s role was clearly defined to renovate NIA facilities. A CPA PMO 

official stated that the CPA had not had any discussions with AFCEE regarding the 

establishment of a formal agreement to set out a more formal arrangement, in terms of 

AFCEE provided support. 

Public and Congressional Interest and Sound Management Practices 

There is substantial Congressional and public interest that funds for the reconstruction of 

Iraq are obligated and expended in a transparent manner. 

Given the magnitude of AFCEE’s support to the CPA, an effective business relationship 

between the two agencies should define the scope of the agreement, protect the interests 

of both parties, and efficiently advance the reconstruction of Iraq. 

Transparency of CPA Contracting 

AFCEE’s role in awarding task orders on behalf of the CPA is not clearly defined, and 

the continued use of AFCEE’s contract vehicles provides less than the necessary 

transparency to the public. For example, it is not clear that the renovations of NIA 

facilities are projects that are appropriate tasks under AFCEE contracts. Also, because 

the WERC contracts preceded the Iraq reconstruction, the $481 million in construction 

projects were awarded without the need to notify the public. 

A formal agreement between AFCEE and the CPA successor could require fundamental 

management tasks such as: 

• Defining the extent and nature of AFCEE’s support to the CPA successor, 

such as what projects will be accepted beyond the original request for 

renovation of facilities for NIA. 

• Defining AFCEE’s role to permit AFCEE to better plan the use of resources 

to support construction requirements. 
8

• Documenting the AFCEE –PMO relationship to ensure continuity of 

operations, including contract management by the successor agency. 

Such an agreement may provide more transparency for the Congress and the public. 

Additionally, the agreement will document the services that AFCEE was providing the 

CPA through its pool of ID/IQ contracts and will provide CPA’s successor agency clarity 

on scope of use. Further, a formal agreement will allow AFCEE to plan for resources 

needed to support the needs of the successor agency. 

By not ensuring sufficient transparency, CPA risked diminishing the confidence of the 

Congress and the American public in the integrity of its contracting process. 

Recommendation, Management Comments, and Audit 

Response 

We recommended that the CPA’s successor agency, the Iraq Project and Contracting 

Office, and the Director of AFCEE formalize a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) 

detailing respective responsibilities. At minimum, the MOA should: 

• Define the extent and nature of AFCEE’s support for Iraq reconstruction such 

as what projects will be accepted beyond the original request for renovation of 

facilities for NIA. 

• Define AFCEE’s role to permit AFCEE to better plan for allocating resources 

to support reconstruction requirements. 

• Document the AFCEE –PMO relationship to ensure continuity of operations, 

including expected contract management by CPA’s successor agency. 

Management Comments. AFCEE and the Iraq Project and Contracting Office 

(formerly the PMO) concurred and have drafted an MOA to clarify the roles and 

responsibilities of their respective organizations. The MOA is expected to be 

completed by August 15, 2004. The MOA will address the scope of new 

construction projects AFCEE will execute on behalf of Iraq Project and 

Contracting Office. The MOA also addresses roles and responsibilities between 

AFCEE, the Iraq Project and Contracting Office, and the U.S. Army Corp of 

Engineers. The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers is the designated field oversight 

organization. 

Audit Response. The Air Force and the Iraq Project and Contracting Office 

comments are fully responsive. The MOA is intended to provide more 

transparency for the Congress and the public. Additionally, the agreement will 

define the services that AFCEE will provide the Iraq Project and Contracting 

Office through its pool of ID/IQ contracts and will provide CPA’s successor 

agency clarity on scope of use.

Appendix A: Scope and Methodology 

We performed this audit from May to June 2004 in accordance with generally accepted 

government auditing standards. We performed our audit work at the following 

organizations: 

• Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence, San Antonio, TX 

• Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence, Baghdad, Iraq 

• Headquarters, U.S. Air Force, Office of the Civil Engineer, Arlington, VA 

• Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) Program Management Office, 

Baghdad, Iraq 

We reviewed the contract files for the 15 task orders awarded by AFCEE between 

January 22, 2004, and May 25, 2004. We conducted interviews of officials responsible 

for planning, programming, and contracting for renovation of NIA facilities and other 

projects. In addition, we reviewed and analyzed CPA’s request for assistance and DoD’s 

approval for renovation of NIA facilities. Our audit scope did not include verification 

regarding the status of any construction projects and accordingly expresses no opinion on 

project status.
