Saudi Navy Orders up to $100M Worth of Booz

Al-Riyadh Frigate(click to view full) Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. in McLean, VA received a $16.4 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for training, education, engineering, technical and management support services for the Royal Saudi Naval Forces (RSNF) under the Foreign Military Sales Program. This contract includes a base year and four one-year options which, if exercised, would bring the total estimated value of the contract to $100 million. Work will be performed in Saudi Arabia (65%); McLean, VA (34%); and other locations (1%); and is expected to be completed by July 2006. Funding is provided by several RSNF FMSO cases through multiple funding documents citing FMS no-year appropriation. There are no U.S. Navy funds or U.S. budget funds required for this sole source procurement by the Government of Saudi Arabia via Letter of Offer and Acceptance. The Fleet and Industrial Supply Center Norfolk, Philadelphia Division issued the contract (N00140-05-C-0088). As a side note to DoD DefenseLink: it isn’t “Booze Allen Hamilton,” though that was funny in the context of the strictly Islamic Saudi Navy.
