RCO Soto Cano 410th CSB

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Expeditionary Contracting Command Regional Contracting Office Soto Cano 410th CSB is a contracting office within Army Materiel Command that manages contracts for the Soto Cano Air Base operating location in Honduras. The office executes its contracting function through a highly fragmented vendor base, with minimal recent procurement activity.

Since its establishment in 2003, the office has recorded 1,233 total federal contract awards with a combined potential value of $17.6 million and combined dollars obligated of $25.6 million. Recent activity has been sparse: the office issued 2 awards in 2019, 2 in 2020, 1 in 2022, 2 in 2023, and 1 in 2024, with the most recent award closing on 2024-12-13. Across the portfolio history, 309 distinct prime contractors have been awarded contracts.

Competitive concentration is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, no single prime contractor has captured meaningful share; Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees account for 3 awards totaling $141 thousand in combined potential value, and Life Support International Inc. holds 1 award worth $21 thousand. This two-vendor portfolio covers 100 percent of recent award count and only 1 percent of combined potential value, reflecting the dispersed nature of transactional activity and the presence of numerous sub-threshold or unquantified awards.

The set-aside mix is overwhelmingly open-market: 1,222 awards (99 percent) carry no set-aside designation, while 11 awards (1 percent) are total small-business set-asides. This distribution reflects the operating location's strategic and logistical posture rather than domestic acquisition policy drivers.

No recent federal contract opportunities are recorded against this office. The sparse award cadence and absence of open solicitations suggest the office functions primarily as a transaction processor for ongoing base operations and sustainment at Soto Cano, with low velocity and minimal forecastable pipeline. Pursuit of this office is appropriate only for vendors already embedded in base-support supply chains or for those positioned to support emergency or contingency contracting surges.
