Excellent news and congrats to all of these companies who won a contract. And now the real fun will begin. lol

Expect a flurry of training and vetting to get this massive security force up and running. DoS and these companies have their work cut out for them. –Matt

Edit: 10/02/2010 -Also check out Danger Room’s run down of the awards. TC lost the embassy gig in Iraq to SOC (potential of $974 million/5 year), and AGNA lost their gig at the Kabul Embassy to EODT( potential of $274 million/ 5 year). Xe was able to get an award via International Development Solutions.

Industry Talk: EODT Awarded Security Contract To Protect Camp Duffman, Afghanistan

Filed under: Afghanistan,Jobs — Tags: Afghanistan, contractors, EODT, Jalalabad, Jobs, private military companies, private security, private security companies, security contractors, SOCNET, SSSI — Matt @ 1:18 AM

Congrats to EODT and I hope the contract goes well. Perhaps someone from the company would care to comment on this? Tim is located in Jalalabad and I am sure he knows a little something about this camp.

What is interesting is that there were a ton of FOB security solicitations that I posted awhile back, and no word on the awarding for that stuff. I did hear about a company called SSSI winning a contract, and Blackice Security posted the job ad for it. Here is a thread on SOCNET about them and the pay was pretty low if you ask me.

Also, I wanted to say that EODT is doing a fantastic job of getting their news out there. I got the heads up about this through an RSS feed they have. This ‘really simple syndication’ tool makes it very handy for getting the latest scoop about companies. Hopefully other companies will follow their lead and set up RSS feeds for their news and jobs. –Matt

EODT Awarded Security Contract to Protect Camp Duffman, Afghanistan

LENOIR CITY, TN (September 27, 2010) – EODT was awarded a contract by the Afghanistan Regional Contracting Center to provide comprehensive security services at Camp Duffman, located near Jalalabad. The contract was the latest in a series of awards made to EODT under the AO Mountain Warrior ID/IQ security services base contract covering Eastern Afghanistan. The area has seen substantially increased insurgent activity over the past several months.

“While we are pleased to have won this contract, we are mindful of the danger our men and women in uniform routinely face in this region of Afghanistan,” said EODT’s President and CEO Matt Kaye. “We take our being selected as an expression of confidence in the capabilities and professionalism of our people, and we are anxious to begin work in support of their important mission”.

Jobs: PSD Personnel, Iraq

Filed under: Iraq,Jobs,United Kingdom — Tags: Gardaworld, Iraq, Jobs, private military companies, private security, PSD, security contractors, United Kingdom — Matt @ 2:13 AM

This job is for British and Commonwealth passport holders only. The job also requires that you have an SIA license. On the down side, the salary is pretty damned low if you ask me. Especially since Iraq is still an active war zone.

My other thought on this is that I think this is for an oil related contract, but I am just guessing. The oil companies are all using British companies in Iraq, and they have that market wrapped up pretty good.

I am not the POC or recruiter for this, and please follow the link below if you would like to apply. Good luck. –Matt

Jobs: Contingency Special Operations Team, OCONUS

Filed under: Afghanistan,Iraq,Israel,Jobs,Virginia — Tags: Afghanistan, Department of State, DoS, Iraq, Israel, Jobs, private military, private security, security contracting, Virginia, VxL, WPPS 2, WPS — Matt @ 1:17 AM

Blackice Security put this one out, and I figured I would get on the band wagon and put it out as well. My guess is that there will be a huge requirement for bodies on this contract, and many companies are looking at those numbers and making their moves.

As for VxL? I have never heard of them, so job seekers beware. They have provided a phone number and email, so feel free to contact them if you have questions. I would also be curious if any of the readership have some input about the company?

I am not the POC or recruiter for this company, and please follow the directions and links below to apply. Good luck and let me know how it goes. –Matt
