Army Contracting Command

The Army Contracting Command (ACC) is a contracting services command of the United States Army. "On October 1, 2008, the Army recognized the formal establishment of the Army Contracting Command as a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Materiel Command. This new Army organization performs the majority of contracting work for the U.S. Army, and consists of two subordinate commands responsible for installation and expeditionary contracting, and other Army contracting elements."[2]

There are three parts to the Army Contracting Command: Expeditionary Contracting Command Brigades, Mission Installation Contracting Commands, and Contracting centers.

Expeditionary Contracting Command

Expeditionary Contracting Command was a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Contracting Command headquartered at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. The one-star command was organized to accomplish its global operational missions through its nine Contracting Support Brigades, seventeen Contingency Contracting Battalions, sixteen Senior Contingency Contracting Teams, and ninety-two Contingency Contracting Teams.[3] Expeditionary Contracting Command was discontinued and merged with Army Contracting Command on October 1, 2017.[4]

Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC)

Headquartered at Joint Base San Antonio, Texas, the Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC)[5] is a one-star command. It is made up of more than 1,500 military and civilian members assigned to three contracting support brigades, one field directorate office and 33 field offices throughout the nation and Puerto Rico 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 sweet goods and services in austere environments.
