RCC Alaska 413th CSB

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Expeditionary Contracting Command Regional Contracting Office Alaska 413th CSB is a regional Army contracting office responsible for procurement and contract administration in the Alaska area of operations. The office has issued 2,047 federal contract awards cumulatively since 1997, with combined obligated dollars of $131.6 million against a combined potential value of $27.5 million. Recent contract award volume has declined sharply: 1 award in 2023, 7 in 2022, 4 in 2021, 4 in 2020, and 1 in 2019. The most recent recorded award date is August 2023.

The competitive landscape is highly fragmented, with 746 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio history. Over the last five years, Heritage-M2C1 Joint Venture leads by award count with 5 awards totaling $457 thousand in potential value; Avalon Contracting Inc., Encompass It Security Solutions Inc., and Divine Imaging Inc. each hold a single award. The top primes account for 100 percent of recent-award count and 2 percent of combined potential value, reflecting a market structure dominated by small contract actions spread across many vendors rather than consolidated buys to major defense contractors.

The set-aside mix is heavily weighted toward open competition, with 82 percent of awards (1,669) carrying no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides (both certified and 8(a)) comprise 18 percent of the portfolio: 295 awards (14%) are Total Small Business, 44 (2%) are Competitive 8(a), 21 (1%) are 8(a) Sole Source, 14 (1%) are HUBZone, and 4 (0%) carry an 8(a) with HUBZone Preference. The contracting office demonstrates a clear preference for unrestricted competition, typical of regional Army contracting in established infrastructure and logistics environments.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded in the source. The sustained decline in award volume and the absence of forward-dated solicitations suggest minimal near-term procurement activity at this office. Firms interested in future work should monitor the Army's regional contracting channels for any resumption of activity.
