RCO Iraq 408th CSB

The Army Materiel Command Expeditionary Contracting Command Regional Contracting Office Iraq 408th CSB is a sub-office of the Army's materiel acquisition hierarchy that executed contracting authority on behalf of U.S. military operations in Iraq, operating from 1997 through 2025. The office procured goods and services in support of expeditionary operations at a theater-wide scope and ceased or substantially wound down activity after 2023.

The office awarded 237 contracts cumulatively across its portfolio history, with combined potential value of $108.5 million and $104.5 million obligated (96% of potential). Award volume declined sharply in the last five years: 22 awards in 2020, 10 in 2021, 5 in 2022, 3 in 2023, and 1 in 2025. The most recently recorded award date is May 10, 2025. Among the nine awards with reported potential value in the recent five-year window, one carries unreported value (11% of recent awards), typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or modifications.

Competitive concentration is highly fragmented. The top five primes by award count held only 56 percent of recent awards, yet represent just 3 percent of combined potential value—a reflection of the small, transaction-by-transaction nature of the contracting portfolio. Lepton Global Solutions LLC leads by potential value at $1.7 million across a single award. Lasting Success Company, Areaka Trading & Logistics Company, Dari Concepts LLC, and Avis Rent A Car each hold awards in the low hundreds of thousands. One top awardee by count, Jamal Erbil Company For Trading And General Services LTD., transacts through awards with unreported potential value. The remaining 79 distinct primes across the portfolio history each account for minimal individual contract value.

All 237 awards across the portfolio carried no set-aside designations—100 percent were unrestricted open market procurements. The office appears to have executed small-dollar, local-vendor, and Schedule-based contracting typical of forward-deployed expeditionary operations; very few awards exceed a quarter-million dollars in potential value. No recent contract opportunities are recorded. The sharp decline in award volume from 2023 onward and the single award in 2025 suggest operational wind-down and minimal current contracting activity.
