DECISION

ANHAM FZCO (ANHAM), of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the incumbent joint venture
contractor, protests the award of a contract to PAE Government Services, Inc. (PAE), of
Arlington, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W56HZV-1 5-R-01 39 issued
by the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Materiel Command, for the National
Maintenance Strategy (NMS) program in Afghanistan.

We deny the protest.

The RFP, issued on July 15, 2016, sought a contractor to manage, perform, and
administer the NMS program. This program requires the contractor to provide training
and mentoring, and contractor logistics support (CLS) services to the Afghan National
Defense Security Forces (ANDSF), in order to transition responsibility for maintenance,
