Monday through Thursday Business Hours: 7:00 a.m. EST to 3:00 p.m. EST.

Fridays will be staggered with every other Friday being a closed business day. The first Friday of 2026 to be closed is January 09, 2026.

Based on the above, service contractors should call contract/purchase order administrator in advance if service is scheduled for a Friday to determine if the Arsenal will be open for business.

Be further advised that the inability of the Arsenal to provide escorts resulting in denial of access to Watervliet Arsenal of the aforementioned personnel will not be considered an excusable delay to contract performance as defined in the contract clause "Default" contained in the contract. Therefore, offerors should consider the above contingencies during offer preparation.
