Here is CEO Al Neffgen's history of the company:
IAP provides a wide variety of services, including contingency operations, facility management, technical services and disaster relief. Often, IAP is called on to perform challenging jobs in difficult circumstances. In Iraq, it builds and operates Army camps the size of small cities. In the southeastern United States, it provides emergency ice and power generation to hurricane victims. IAP supports domestic and foreign military installations, provides technical employees for the US Geological Survey, crafts mock foreign military hardware for US war games, and operates trucks and heavy lift equipment that support US combat forces in Kuwait and Iraq.
IAP’s heritage dates back to the days of Pan American Technical Services, Inc., a company that built America’s first space launch complex at Cape Canaveral, Fla., more than 50 years ago. The namesake International American Products (IAP) was formed in Irmo, SC, in 1990 by Doyle McBride, a retired US Army professional logistician. In response to a burgeoning US government contracting market, McBride’s IAP was growing as well. Providing a variety of logistics and contingency services, the company had grown by 2003 to $156 million from $18 million. McBride soon decided to take on a partner, selling 74% of the company in 2005 to a private investment group.
A charming tale of the sort of entrepreneurship that makes America what it is.
But another part of that tale is that this is a KBR company.
As of 2003, it was Al Neffgen who was responding - or delaying responding to government demands for information related to KBR accounting problems. In this case, "refusing to turn over internal documents that show the company was aware of accounting problems related to an Iraqi fuel contract that allegedly has overcharged U.S. taxpayers so far nearly $100 million". At that time, Al Neffgen was KBR's chief operations officer.link
Swindle too is a KBR man. You can find details for both men and their relationships to the two companies here and at greater length and detail here.
And as that last story says, guess who else is involved? John Snow.
A small defense contractor now controlled by a former Bush adminstration cabinet secretary is taking on Halliburton Co. by bidding for one of three U.S. Army contracts worth up to $50 billion (€39 billion) each to provide food and shelter to U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Within days of former U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow becoming chairman of the New York hedge fund that owns IAP Worldwide Services Inc., the company submitted its bid for huge U.S. Army contracts that will be awarded by year-end.
In fact, that story is chock full of interesting company geneology and doings.
