ACC Rock Island

Army Contracting Command - Rock Island Arsenal, a sub-agency of the Department of the Army Materiel Command, procures ordnance, ammunition, energetics, industrial supplies, and facility maintenance and repair services for Army installations including Rock Island Arsenal, McAlester Army Ammunition Plant, Pine Bluff Arsenal, Crane Army Ammunition Activity, and Blue Grass Army Depot.

The command closed 1,634 federal contract awards totaling $781.3 million in combined potential value since 2003, with $776.6 million obligated. Recent activity has declined: 16 awards in 2018, 23 in 2019, 22 in 2020, 9 in 2021, and 11 in 2022, with the most recent award dated August 2022. Among recent awardees over the last five years, competitive concentration is highly fragmented. All Equipment Co. leads by award count with three awards totaling $33 thousand combined potential value; Blue TECH Inc. placed second with two awards valued at $210 thousand. Moore Tool Company, Inc. holds the largest reported single award at $2 million potential value, though overall top-five primes account for less than 1 percent of recent contract value—a pattern consistent with heavy use of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders: one of the last 13 awards carried no reported potential value. The command has engaged 568 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio history. Small-business set-asides account for 19 percent of awards; unrestricted competition dominates at 80 percent. 8(a) sole source and competitive 8(a) awards together comprise less than 1 percent; woman-owned small business received two awards.

Active solicitation volume remains substantial. Recent opportunities span ammunition and energetics procurement (Non-Micronized Pentaerythritol, Steel Grit Size 40, Lifting Pull Strap, HC Smoke Canister components), manufacturing support (Wafer Broach Holding Bar, M7A1 Bearing Material, Kingsbury Steel), facility services (Minor Construction and Sustainability, Repair and Maintenance at McAlester Army Ammunition Plant with a $99 million ceiling; Electronic Security Systems at Crane Army Ammunition Activity), and industrial supplies (Bulk Foundry Sand, British Stainless Steel, DRS Assault Kitchen Pot).
