It does not purchase IT equipment or services directly. Consumables are purchased through its logistics procedures. - Vertical Construction* - this district does not have a military mission, therefore, vertical construction is not part of typical work for this District. However, under the International and Interagency Support programs, has participated in work for other agencies such as the Dept. of Homeland Security constructing border patrol stations and NASA doing miscellaneous construction on their facility in the past. - Military Support - This organization is primarily civilian in nature and does not support a military post or personnel (troop support).
