Army Southern Command

Department of the Army Southern Command is the Army's regional acquisition and operational command responsible for military operations, security cooperation, and logistics support across Central and South America and the Caribbean. The Command executes federal contracts across its geographic footprint, spanning continental United States, overseas locations, and subordinate component commands in the region.

Department of the Army Southern Command has awarded 18,955 federal contracts since 2001, with a combined potential value of $6.25 billion and $4.58 billion in combined dollars obligated (73% of potential). Over the last five years, the Command issued 266 awards in 2022, 257 in 2023, 295 in 2024, 239 in 2025, and 97 year-to-date in 2026. The Command transacts across a highly fragmented contractor base of 3,259 distinct primes.

Among prime contractors by award count over the last five years, the top five hold 16 percent of recent awards, indicating a highly fragmented competitive landscape. Comunicacion Celular S A Comcel S A leads by count with 61 awards and $329 thousand combined potential value; S.C.A. - Shipping Consultants Associated LTD. follows with 38 awards and $2.9 million; and Spanish Solutions, LLC holds 37 awards and $1.4 million. By combined potential value, the same top five represent only 1 percent of recent value, reflecting the Command's portfolio structure. Empresa De Construccion Y Transporte Eterna S.A. De C.V. is the largest by value with 16 awards and $37.2 million combined potential value. This fragmentation across both count and value underscores the Command's reliance on a diverse contractor ecosystem, with no single vendor commanding significant strategic weight.

The contract set-aside mix is heavily skewed toward open competition: 93 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides account for 5 percent of awards (938 total), followed by 8(a) sole-source (1 percent, 192 awards), competitive 8(a) (61 awards, less than 1 percent), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business designations (30 awards combined, less than 1 percent). HUBZone, Woman-Owned Small Business, and Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business categories each represent single-digit award counts. The dominance of open-competition awards reflects the Command's broad sourcing approach for regional logistics, construction, transportation, and communications support.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded in the source data. The latest recorded award date is August 1, 2026.
