The public affairs operation supporting U.S. forces in Afghanistan plans to review its PR support contract with an open competition next month.
SOS International is the incumbent contract for the media monitoring and PR support pact, which was previously handled by The Rendon Group. SOSi, which is based in Reston, Va., and operates out of Kabul in Afghanistan, won the business in its last open review in 2006, a pact initially capped at $67M but extended in October for an extra six months.
Fulcra Worldwide, the former Lincoln Group, has also provided military PR support on Afghanistan.
Army contracting will oversee the RFP process. The RFP is slated to be released on or about March 4 with a 30 day open period. A base contract with up to four options years was outlined in preliminary descriptions of the upcoming RFP.
The work is described as strategic communications advisement and support services, as well as foreign media analysis for U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
A contracting representative declined to comment pending release of the RFP.
