Administrative

Department of the Army Headquarters Administrative, a sub-agency within the Department of Defense, administers federal contract awards for Army headquarters-level functions and administrative operations. The agency operates as a contracting office supporting Army command and staff activities at the headquarters level rather than as an end-user acquisition arm.

The agency has issued 10,758 federal contract awards cumulatively since 2002, with a combined potential value of $58.5 million and combined dollars obligated of $62.3 million. However, recent contract activity has declined substantially. Over the last five years, the agency awarded only 2,641 contracts across 2015–2022, with a sharp drop-off after 2017: 8 awards in 2015, 607 in 2016, 687 in 2017, 546 in 2018, and only 2 in 2022. The most recent recorded award closed on February 1, 2022. This pattern suggests a significant contraction in headquarters-level administrative contracting, possible consolidation into parent or peer acquisition channels, or a shift in how Army headquarters procurement is structured.

Among the limited recent activity, Qrc, LLC holds 100 percent of awards by count and 1 percent of combined potential value over the last five years with 2 awards totaling $617 thousand. The agency's contracting base is highly fragmented, with 628 distinct prime contractors awarded across the portfolio history and minimal concentration in recent years. Competitive concentration is highly fragmented by both award count and potential value in the recent window.

Set-aside activity is minimal: 10,720 awards (100%) carry no set-aside designation, while only 38 awards (0%) fall under total small-business set-asides. This profile reflects the administrative and headquarters-support nature of the contracting — most procurements do not trigger small-business set-aside requirements.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against this sub-agency. The sharp decline in award volume since 2018 and the absence of open solicitations suggest that active acquisition for Army headquarters administrative functions may now be channeled through parent Army acquisition commands, other defense agencies, or government-wide contracting vehicles rather than through this sub-agency's direct contracting authority.
