LOCB Wet & Dry Gap Systems

Army Contracting Command–Warren, Michigan awarded a Master IDIQ on March 25, 2019 to procure commercial modular panel-truss Line of Communication Bridge (LOCB) wet and dry gap systems and Field Service Representative support; ordering closed on March 21, 2022, and this vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders.

The vehicle's shared ceiling is $250 million. Nine task orders totaling $196.1 million in combined potential value have been obligated across nine orders, consuming 100% of the combined potential value already committed. Award activity concentrated in the first half of 2019 (five orders) and slowed thereafter (two orders in 2020, two in 2021), with the most recent task-order award on March 5, 2021. The last task order completed in September 2021, and no ordering activity appears to have occurred since the March 2022 deadline passed.

Two Acrow entities split all task orders: Acrow Corporation Of America holds five orders worth $120.3 million combined potential value, and Acrow Global LIMITED holds four orders worth $75.8 million. This two-firm concentration reflects a highly specialized defense logistics market with limited competition. All orders issued unrestricted (no set-aside designations). PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support funded all nine orders, indicating vertical consolidation of the requirement within a single Army functional community.

Task orders ranged from $7.5 million to $43.9 million and pursued specific bridge configurations: orders specified quantities of 50-meter, 130-meter, 160-meter, 400-meter, 480-meter, and 600-meter wet and dry gap sections, with completion dates typically within six to eighteen months of award. Firm fixed-price pricing prevailed across all awards. One early order included a manufacturing feasibility study at Rock Island Arsenal alongside bridge procurement.

With ordering authority expired and the combined potential value fully obligated, this vehicle presents no pursuit opportunity for new entrants. Current primes and subcontractors may execute remaining work through 2021 completion dates, but the vehicle itself is closed to new business.

Army Contracting Command -Warren, Michigan has awarded a Master IDIQ for commercial modular panel-truss Line of Communication Bridge (LOCB) systems, and Field Service Representative (FSR) Support for technical assistance and training services.
