The MICC is headquartered at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam
Houston, Texas. The MICC is a one-star command made up of more
than 1,600 military and civilian members assigned to three contracting
support brigades, one field directorate office and 32 field offices that
provide contracting support across the Army.
The MICC supports the Warfighter by acquiring equipment, supplies
and services vital to the U.S. Army mission and well-being of Soldiers
and their families. The command also supports the Army's
contingency and wartime missions by rapidly deploying trained and
ready contingency contracting Soldiers around the world to procure
goods and services in austere environments.
MICC contracted services and supplies touch virtually every Soldier in
the Army – from facility support services, commercial and institutional
building construction, administrative and general management
consulting services to wired telecommunication and engineering
services, contracted food services and advertising – the MICC ensures
America’s Soldiers and their families have what they need to be ready
and resilient. The MICC is charged with managing the most effective
acquisition solutions to meet the needs of its customers and military
partners and overseeing contract performance. It focuses its resources
and expertise on the timely award of contracted solutions and power of
savings to meet mission needs as military leaders transform the Army
following many years at war.
Two contracting support brigades were activated and attached to the
MICC in 2013 as part of the integration of Soldiers with contracting
centers and offices throughout ACC and MICC. The 419th Contracting
Support Brigade was activated in June 2013 at Fort Bragg, North
Carolina, and 418th CSB in July 2013 at Fort Hood, Texas. The 412th
CSB at JBSA-Fort Sam Houston, Texas was attached to the MICC in
June 2013. The attachment of these units enhances installation and
operational contracting support to Army commands.
The MICC’s primary supported activities include the U.S. Army
Forces Command, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, U.S.
Army North, U.S. Army Installation Management Command, U.S.
Army Test and Evaluation Command, U.S. Army Reserve Command,
U.S. Army Military District of Washington, U.S. Army Medical
Command, and the U.S. Military Academy.
In fiscal 2014, the command executed more than 37,000 contract
actions valued at more than $5.6 billion across the Army, including
more than $2.4 billion to small businesses. The command also
managed more than 633,000 Government Purchase Card Program
transactions valued at an additional $783 million.
With a wealth of contracting expertise, MICC professionals are
dedicated to providing the highest quality of contracting support to all
of their customers, whenever and wherever needed. The responsive
contracting solutions and oversight provided by the Mission and
Installation Contracting Command serves as a force multiplier for
keeping the Army strong.
