The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal is the Army's principal contracting arm for materiel acquisition and sustainment across the Army's depot network and supporting facilities. The organization executes contract awards through multiple sub-commands including Watervliet Arsenal, Anniston Army Depot, and Sierra Army Depot, among others, procuring manufacturing, maintenance, and facility-support services for cannon systems, ammunition, and depot operations.

The Agency has awarded 71,524 federal contracts since 1994, with combined award potential value of $118.06 billion and combined dollars obligated of $174.49 billion. Recent activity shows 1,037 awards in 2022, 517 in 2023, 561 in 2024, 641 in 2025, and 302 year-to-date in 2026. The most recently recorded award date is July 21, 2026.

Over the last five years, competitive concentration is fragmented. Oshkosh Defense LLC leads by award count with 163 awards and $331.7 million combined potential value, followed by Pomp's Tire Service, Inc. with 157 awards and $73.2 million, and GPC Consolidated Reporting with 83 awards and $26.8 million. By potential value, General Dynamics Land Systems Inc. dominates with 45 awards worth $1 billion, while Oshkosh Defense LLC ranks second with $331.7 million across 163 awards. The top five primes account for only 17 percent of recent awards by count and 1 percent of combined potential value, indicating a highly fragmented competitive landscape. The Agency transacts heavily through Schedule task orders, BPA calls, and modifications; many recent awardees carry potential value not reported in source data.

The Agency awards contracts predominantly without set-asides (60,942 awards, 85 percent of the portfolio). Total small business awards represent 13 percent of volume (9,622 awards). Set-asides under 8(a) sole source, HUBZone, competitive 8(a), service-disabled veteran-owned small business, and woman-owned small business collectively account for less than 1 percent each.
