About this agency

The Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), a major command within the U.S. Army, develops doctrine, trains soldiers and leaders, and manages the training and professional development infrastructure that supports Army operations across the continental United States and overseas locations.

TRADOC closed its contract portfolio activity in 2006, with no awards recorded since that date. The agency awarded 471 contracts between 2002 and 2006, distributed across 302 distinct prime contractors, with peak activity in 2005 (315 awards). The combined award potential value reported across all 471 contracts totals $90 thousand; however, the agency obligated $40.1 million in actual spending — a figure that vastly exceeds the reported potential value and reflects heavy use of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, and below-threshold purchase orders across the portfolio. This spending pattern indicates that the majority of TRADOC's transactional volume flowed through existing vehicles rather than definitive contract awards with disclosed ceiling values.

The contract portfolio is highly fragmented across 302 primes, with no single contractor dominating the historical record. Ninety-three percent of awards carried no set-aside designation. Small Business awards accounted for 5 percent of the portfolio, while 8(a) set-asides (both competitive and sole-source) represented 1 percent combined, and HUBZone sole-source awards comprised less than 1 percent.

No recent federal contract opportunities or contract awards are recorded against TRADOC or its subordinate offices. The agency's contract activity concluded two decades ago and has not resumed in the current procurement environment. Businesses seeking engagement with TRADOC should confirm current contracting authority and funding flows through the appropriate Army contracting office or directorate, as the portfolio data does not reflect active solicitation or award activity.
