About this program
The Army Contract Writing System (ACWS) is a Defense Business System (DBS) acquisition program managed by the U.S. Army to provide a single enterprise-wide contract writing and management solution. As an Acquisition Category IAC program, ACWS aims to streamline and standardize the Army's contracting processes across the organization. The system represents a significant investment in modernizing the Army's acquisition infrastructure through an integrated software platform.
The federal contract awards associated with ACWS range from small purchase orders for equipment and supplies ($11,000-$90,000) to larger software and engineering support contracts (up to $625,000). Common acquisitions include HVAC equipment, industrial hardware, and IT infrastructure components, with performance periods typically ranging from immediate delivery to one year. Major contractors include CGI Federal Inc. for software licenses and maintenance, and Jacobs Technology Inc. for engineering support services. The primary contracting organizations are the Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) at Fort Hood and the Army Materiel Command, with most work performed at military installations across the United States. While most contracts are not set aside, when set-asides are used they are typically for small businesses. Notable subcontractors include various specialized equipment manufacturers and service providers supporting the prime contractors' delivery of both hardware and software components.
