RCO Benelux 409th CSB

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Expeditionary Contracting Command Regional Contracting Office Benelux 409th CSB (a subordinate contracting office within Army acquisition) executes contracts for materiel and services supporting expeditionary operations across the Benelux region, transacting exclusively through Government Purchase Card (GPC) and other micro-purchase mechanisms outside the standard set-aside structure.

The office has issued 1,663 contract awards since 2001, with $14.7 million in combined potential value and $61.8 million in combined obligations obligated across the portfolio. Award activity over the last five years has been consistent but modest: 12 awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, 12 in 2024, 11 in 2025, and 6 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on July 1, 2026.

All 1,663 awards carry no set-aside designation, reflecting the office's reliance on GPC and below-threshold purchase authority, which operate outside traditional small-business set-aside categories. Over the last five years, the contracting office has engaged 503 distinct prime contractors, though activity is reported through consolidated GPC foreign contractor line items rather than individual named vendors. GPC Foreign Contractor Consolidated Reporting accounts for 56 awards and $4.8 million of combined potential value over the last five years, representing 100 percent coverage by award count and 33 percent of combined potential-value concentration. The remaining awards are distributed across a long tail of transactional vendors engaged through micro-purchase channels, each typically below reportable-value thresholds. The combined obligations ($61.8 million) significantly exceed combined potential value ($14.7 million), a pattern typical of offices executing multiple small purchases, modifications, and option exercises against a modest ceiling.

No recent federal contract opportunities are recorded for this office in current solicitation channels, consistent with its operational model of executing pre-authorized GPC and micro-purchase buys rather than issuing formal solicitations. Pursuit of this office is appropriate only for vendors capable of serving expeditionary supply and services roles in theater locations and registered in relevant vendor-management systems for foreign transactions.
