KBRwyle will perform these services primarily at Naval Support Facility Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti , as well as at Chabelley Air Field in Djibouti and Camp Simba in Manda Bay, Kenya .
Under the terms of the contract, KBRwyle will provide a broad spectrum of support in areas including public safety; air operations; ordnance; supply; morale, welfare and recreation; galley; facilities; utilities; vehicles and equipment; and environmental. The contract has a one-year base period and seven one-year options.
