May 6 (Bloomberg) -- KBR Inc. was selected for a no-bid contract worth as much as $568 million through 2011 for military support services in Iraq, the Army said.

The Army announced its decision yesterday only hours after the Justice Department said it will pursue a lawsuit accusing the Houston-based company of taking kickbacks from two subcontractors on Iraq-related work. The Army also awarded the work to KBR over objections from members of Congress, who have pushed the Pentagon to seek bids for further logistics contracts.

You mean, "Are there any other US companies that performs the work of KBR ?"   [/grammar Nazi]

Not of that size and capability.  There were at one time, but KBR is pretty much the sum of all of those different ones after a long, long series of mergers and consolidations.
