What the Army is buying

This includes annual laser leveling, quarterly inspections, and general maintenance to support the mission-critical operations of the 189th DSSB.

This is a non-personal services contract, meaning the contractor will manage its own personnel and operations, with accountability to the Government for the services provided. The contract has a 12-month base period, starting September 26, 2026, with four additional 12-month option years.

Key dates and deadlines

The solicitation was published on September 8, 2026. A site visit is scheduled for September 9, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST at DRC Building O-1101, Fort Bragg, NC 28310. Vendors are responsible for obtaining proper installation access for this visit.
