Based on some contract proposals that went public in May, it is now evident that there has been a call for new spending in Iraq.
Among the contracts is a proposal to supply mentors to officials with Iraq’s Defense and Interior ministries and the establishment of a U.S.-marshal-type system to protect Iraqi courts.
The proposals reflect multi-year commitments.
The mentors will assist a US military group that previously began to implement what has been described as “core processes and systems” (procurement, contracting, force development, management and budgeting, and public affairs).
The marshals service would be organized by the State Department’s bureau and would be responsible for developing rule of law programs in Iraq.
Another contract noticed last week previews the opening of a US run prison that is now labeled a Theater Internment Facility Reconciliation Center. This will be located at Camp Taji, 12 miles north of Baghdad.
The new contract calls for providing food for “up to 5,000 detainees” and will also cover 150 Iraqi nationals who will work at the facility. The contract will run for one year with an option year to follow.
