DynCorp to 'pursue legal recourse' with U.S. Court of Federal Claims

DynCorp International said this week it will "immediately pursue legal recourse before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims" after the Government Accountability Office denied its protest of a State Department award.

"DynCorp International (DI) is disappointed that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has denied its protest of a Department of State (DOS) award of the Worldwide Aviation Support Services (WASS) contract to AAR Airlift Group," the company said in a statement.

AAR put out its own statement confirming the GAO decision.

"Under the program, AAR Airlift will provide maintenance, operations, and logistical support to the fixed and rotary-wing aircraft fleet for the Department of State's International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Office of Aviation," the company said.

Last month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit reversed the dismissal of a DynCorp complaint against AAR, which is focused on the same contract GAO just ruled on.
