Army Contracting Command

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command (ACC) is the Army's principal acquisition organization, procuring supplies, services, and equipment across its materiel enterprise through a high-volume contracting portfolio spanning 179,532 awards since 1980. ACC operates multiple regional contracting offices (Rock Island, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Picatinny Arsenal, and others) and transacts across weapons systems, ammunition, medical devices, communications, base operations, and sustainment services.

ACC's contract portfolio generated 2,069 awards in 2022, 1,547 in 2023, 1,431 in 2024, 1,451 in 2025, and 586 year-to-date in 2026. Combined award potential value stands at $203.5 billion, with $296.53 billion obligated across the portfolio. The competitive landscape is highly fragmented among prime contractors: the top five primes by award count—Celf Services LLC (448 awards, $402 thousand combined potential value), Mccune Lumber Company (250 awards, $1.4 million), MTP Drivetrain Services L.L.C. (180 awards, $29.4 million), Oshkosh Defense LLC (165 awards, $331.7 million), and Pomp's Tire Service Inc. (157 awards, $73.2 million)—account for 16 percent of recent awards. Oshkosh Defense leads on potential value at $331.7 million across 165 awards over the last five years, followed by Am General LLC ($143.6 million across 49 awards) and Tecmotiv (USA) Inc. ($83 million across 54 awards). However, recent awards transact heavily through Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, and below-threshold purchase orders; many vendors and awards carry no reported potential value. ACC awarded 19,717 distinct prime contractors across portfolio history.

Set-aside activity is dominated by unrestricted awards: 81 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small Business awards account for 16 percent, 8(a) sole source for 2 percent, and competitive 8(a) for 1 percent. HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Woman-Owned Small Business, and other socio-economic categories each represent less than 1 percent of awards.

ACC also administers a small grant portfolio of 106 awards since 2008, obligating $144.2 million in federal dollars. Grant activity is sparse: 30 awards in 2019, then 1 award each in 2020, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Grant recipients are highly fragmented; the top three recipients by both count and federal dollars—Pennsylvania Department Of Transportation ($1.1 million, 1 award), The Leland Stanford Junior University ($190 thousand, 1 award), and Case Western Reserve University ($60 thousand, 1 award)—represent the entire recent five-year portfolio. Assistance types split 58 percent Cooperative Agreements and 42 percent Project Grants.

Recent contract opportunities span traditional supply and manufacturing (Lifting Pull Strap, steel grit, cannon tubes, electrical components), base operations and sustainment (heat treatment, electroless nickel processing, facility maintenance), and advanced capability development (small unmanned aerial systems chargers, tactical communications systems, ultrasound diagnostic devices, alternative protein technologies for military rations). Representative solicitations include W15QKN-27-X-1CTG for manufacture of 155mm cannon tubes (Pre-Solicitation, due Nov 23, 2026), W519TC27 for lifting pull straps (Total Small Business set-aside, five-year IDIQ, due Nov 23, 2026), CSO-ARMY-TCS-PSS-2027 for tactical communication systems procurement and sustainment (Call for Solutions, white papers due Nov 19, 2026), and W15QKN27A9999 for Electronic Safe and Arm Devices (Pre-Solicitation, due Nov 19, 2026). Contracting offices at Rock Island, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Picatinny Arsenal, and regional commands post opportunities regularly; most recent award closed July 30, 2026.

ACC's single active grant opportunity is AFPMB-BAA-27-01, a Deployed Warfighter Protection grant seeking original research into insecticides, personal protection from biting arthropods, and vector control technology (due Mar 17, 2027, unrestricted applicant types).
