PEO Ground Combat Systems

Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Ground Combat Systems is the Army's principal acquisition office for ground combat vehicle platforms and supporting systems, operating under defense contracting mechanisms through a portfolio that has grown to 4,351 total awards valued at $38.25 billion in combined potential, with $47.96 billion obligated to date across 424 distinct prime contractors since 2002.

Contract activity has averaged 268 awards annually over the last five years—344 awards in 2022, 271 in 2023, 285 in 2024, 272 in 2025, and 67 year-to-date in 2026—with the most recent award recorded on September 11, 2026. Over the last five years, the competitive base is highly concentrated by award count, with BAE Systems GCS International LIMITED dominating at 817 awards accounting for 76 percent of recent awards across the top five primes, though that vendor's combined potential value is $596.6 million. When ranked by potential value over the same window, concentration drops to moderately concentrated at 36 percent coverage, with BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. and General Dynamics Land Systems Inc. splitting the lead—the former holds $5.98 billion across 20 awards and the latter $5.95 billion across 82 awards. DRS Network & Imaging Systems LLC, Canadian Commercial Corporation, and BAE Systems GCS International LIMITED round out the top five by value. The distribution across the 424 total primes indicates that while a small set of contractors capture the largest dollar values, the portfolio sustains transactional depth through numerous smaller awards.

The set-aside mix is heavily weighted toward open competition, with 93 percent of awards marked as no set-aside used. Small business in aggregate accounts for 5 percent of awards, with Total Small Business designations comprising the majority of that share; 8(a) sole source, competitive 8(a), woman-owned small business, and other socioeconomic designations together represent less than 2 percent of awards. No recent contract opportunities or grant-making activity is recorded in the source material.
