Description of services: Provide a range of logistics services to the US Navy, with a combined value of $125 million. CACI’s standing in Iraq has been blighted by the issue of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib prison, where it has the contract for the interrogation of prisoners for the US Army. On its website CACI, while not mentioning “interrogation” as one of its services does state, that it helps “America’s intelligence community collect, analyze and share global information in the war on terrorism.”363
The government contract that led interrogators working for CACI International Inc. into Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq was awarded in 1998, with the stated purpose of providing inventory control and other routine services to the US Army. This kind of “blanket-purchase agreement” is becoming increasingly popular with federal agencies because it is supposed to increase efficiency. Large, vaguely worded contracts are designed so the agencies can make quick requests and get fast results, without requiring separate bids and evaluations for each service. Critics say these open-ended contracts allow agencies to skirt public oversight and give big companies an unfair advantage in winning government business.
The CACI contract with the Army is administered by the Interior Department, under an outsourcing agreement with the Army, which has made it even harder to track. The CACI contract has a $500 m limit. CACI has received 80 requests, or delivery orders, from the Army under this contract. Most requests are for ordinary offerings, such as information technology services, but 11 of the delivery orders were for projects in Iraq. Three of those dealt with interrogation and intelligence gathering. One order, issued in August 2003, was worth $19.9 m for a year-long stint of interrogation support. It is under that order that CACI’s Steven A. Stefanowicz and other contractors worked as interrogators at the Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad.
