MICC Carlisle Barracks

Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Carlisle Barracks is an Army installation support contracting office that procures supplies, services, and equipment for military personnel, facilities, and operations at and through Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. The command holds contracting authority for the installation and its subordinate programs.

The contracting office has awarded 525 federal contracts since 2002, with combined potential value of $14.6 million and $39.2 million in obligated dollars across 286 distinct prime contractors. Contract activity has declined sharply in recent years: 41 awards in 2019, 22 in 2020, 5 in 2021, 1 in 2022, and 3 in 2023. The most recent recorded award dates to September 2023. The combined obligated dollars exceed the combined potential value by a factor of 2.69, a pattern typical of task-order-based, schedule-driven, or heavily-modified contract vehicles where initial estimates underrun actual spend.

Competition is highly fragmented across the recent five-year window. The top-three primes by award count—Adorama Inc. (2 awards), Caelum Research Corporation (1 award), and SPS Industrial Inc. (1 award)—account for all recent activity, but combined potential value is negligible ($49 thousand), reflecting small-dollar, routine procurements. The substantial gap between potential value and obligated dollars indicates the portfolio is dominated by task orders, BPA calls, or modifications on existing vehicles where individual award ceilings are low or not reported.

The set-aside mix is heavily weighted toward open competition. No set-aside applies to 91 percent of awards; small-business set-asides (including 8(a) sole-source, Total Small Business, and Emerging Small Business designations combined) account for 9 percent of the award count.

No recent federal contract opportunities are recorded against the office. The sharp decline in award volume and the three-year gap since the most recent award suggest the command's contracting activity has contracted significantly or shifted to procurement vehicles not captured in this portfolio summary. Business development teams pursuing installation-support or supply contracts should confirm current solicitation activity directly with the contracting office, as the published pipeline does not reflect recent opportunities.
