The contract is with the US Agency for International Development (USAID) in South Sudan and BMMI will offer services that include hospitality and housekeeping, food services, facilities maintenance, procurement and logistics. The services will be provided to USAID and will include the US Embassy, US Mission Offices and all residences and compounds.
