RCC Shindand

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Expeditionary Contracting Command Regional Contracting Center Shindand is a forward contracting office subordinate to Army Materiel Command, responsible for procuring supplies, services, and equipment in support of overseas expeditionary operations. The center operates as a regional acquisition hub serving Army field operations at and around Shindand Air Base in Afghanistan.

Contract activity at the center has concluded. The office awarded 18 contracts cumulatively since 2004, with the most recent award closing in March 2014—over twelve years ago. Contract volume peaked between 2006 and 2014, with 5 awards in 2006, 4 in 2012, and single awards in 2011, 2013, and 2014; no awards have been recorded since. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $148 thousand, with $117 thousand obligated (79% of potential value). Thirteen distinct prime contractors have been awarded contracts over the portfolio history.

Competitive concentration among prime contractors is not a meaningful decision factor given the office's inactivity and minimal portfolio size; no vendor has dominated the small award base. Set-aside usage has been minimal: 83 percent of awards (15 contracts) carried no set-aside designation, while 11 percent (2 awards) were Competitive 8(a) and 6 percent (1 award) was Partial Small Business.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against this contracting center. The office's mission and operational footprint appear to have transitioned or concluded with the broader drawdown of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan; current contracting activity in support of Army expeditionary operations, if any, is likely being processed through other regional contracting centers or Army contracting offices with active engagement. Business development professionals should verify whether this center remains an active acquisition vehicle or whether procurement responsibilities have migrated to other Army contracting organizations.
