1. Headquartered at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama, ACC is a two-
star command with two subordinate one-star commands – the
Expeditionary Contracting Command (for locations outside the
continental United States) and the Mission and Installation
Contracting Command – and five major contracting centers that
provide support to AMC’s life cycle management commands.
These centers also provide contracting support to several
program executive offices and program managers supporting
the U.S. Army’s major acquisition programs.
From food and clothing to bullets and bombs; from tanks,
trucks, and HMMWVs to boats and aircraft; from their
weapons to the installations where they work and live with their
families, ACC ensures U.S. Soldiers have what they need to be
successful.
As the Army’s business conduit, ACC offers the contracting
expertise of some of the best-trained people in the Army, ready
to support the war fighter while ensuring responsible
stewardship of taxpayers’ funds.
ACC ensures contracting support to the Soldier as mission
requirements emerge and as the Army transforms and operates
within the continental United States and throughout the globe.
An international business enterprise, the command awarded
nearly 190,000 contracts in fiscal year 2013 valued at more
than $61 billion, which is equal to 70 percent of the Army’s
contract dollars and 13 percent of the total dollars spent on
contracts by the entire federal government. ACC accomplishes
this with morethan 6,100 military and civilian employees at
more than 100 locations worldwide.
The ECC provides effective and agile contracting service
across the full spectrum of military operations for U.S. Army
Service Component Commanders in support of Army and joint
operations as well as to other defense organizations at locations
outside the continental United States.
ECC accomplishes this vital mission through nine contracting
support brigades, 17 contingency contracting battalions, 16
senior contingency contracting teams, and 92 contingency
contracting teams throughout the world. In FY 2012, ECC
executed more than 47,000 contract actions worth almost $1.8
billion.
The MICC provides contracting support for the Soldier across
Army commands, installations, and activities located
throughout the continental United States and Puerto Rico.
Its customers include the U.S. Army Installation Management
Command, U.S. Army Forces Command, U.S. Army Training
and Doctrine Command, U.S. Army North, U.S. Army Reserve
Command, and U.S. Army Medical Command.
The MICC consists of two field directorate offices and 35 field
offices. In FY 2012, the command executed more than 58,000
contract actions worth almost $6.3 billion, including more than
$2.6 billion to small businesses.
With a wealth of contracting expertise, ACC professionals are
dedicated to providing the highest quality of contracting
support to all of their customers, whenever and wherever
needed. A combat multiplier, the Army Contracting Command
is doing its part to keep the Army strong. If a Soldier needs it,
ACC buys it.
