The company of a former adviser to President George W. Bush who helped sell the Iraqi surge to a skeptical public has won a Pentagon communications project in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
S4 Inc. on Friday announced it had won a contract from the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) to offer assistance with a “strategic communication framework” and to “develop its interagency coordination for the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan and unrest in Pakistan.”
The contract is worth close to $164,000 and work would be done over 13 weeks. S4 won the contract under a competitive bid.
Mark Pfeifle, now a vice president at S4, developed a public-relations effort to sell the Bush administration’s surge plan to quell insurgencies in Iraq. Pfeifle also worked as a senior communications adviser for Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
