Parwan Group Company

Material Facts

• DLA issued Solicitation No. SP0600-12-R-0208 seeking proposals for the transportation of government-owned fuel products in Afghanistan.
• Parwan did not include costs for convoy security in its proposal based on DLA's guidance that vendors would not be considered for award if they used armed private security.
• The contract awarded to Parwan was a fixed-price commercial item contract with a total estimated value of $12,902,090.
• In February 2013, Afghan law required Parwan to use security escorts for fuel deliveries, which increased its costs significantly.
• Parwan submitted multiple requests for equitable adjustment (REAs) due to the increased security costs, which were ultimately denied by DLA.
