WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has opened up $6 billion in prime U.S.-funded non-construction contracts in Iraq to all nations but construction deals are still limited to countries that supported the U.S. war effort, said a U.S. government Web site Wednesday.
In a notice on an Iraq procurement Web site (www.rebuilding-iraq.net), companies from all countries were invited to apply for non-construction contracts, with the exception of a $327 million contract for the Iraqi army.
At the end of last year, the United States isolated many traditional allies who had opposed Washington's decision to occupy Iraq without U.N. approval by announcing that all prime deals to rebuild Iraq would be reserved to countries that supported the war effort.
