Office of Small Business Programs - Rock Island

The Office of Small Business Programs – Rock Island serves as a strategic liaison within the Department of the Army, facilitating procurement activities that align with the Army’s mission to modernize test ranges, enhance battlefield analytics, and sustain critical military infrastructure. Though not a contracting officer, this office plays a pivotal role in ensuring small business engagement, market research, and contractor outreach are integrated into the acquisition lifecycle. It supports the planning and execution of facilities support services contracts, acting as a force multiplier for the broader Army Sustainment Command by identifying capable vendors and promoting equitable access to DoD opportunities. The office maintains longstanding partnerships with prime contractors including FLUOR INTERCONTINENTAL, INC, KBR SERVICES, LLC, LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION, ARMY SUSTAINMENT LLC, and THE BOEING COMPANY. These relationships are centered on comprehensive facilities operations, maintenance, logistics, and technical support services essential to Army test and evaluation ranges. The office collaborates closely with these primes to ensure performance standards meet rigorous military specifications, often coordinating subcontracting plans and performance metrics to uphold mission readiness. Consistent with its organizational mandate, the Office of Small Business Programs – Rock Island does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of its acquisitions conducted as full and open competition. While it does not directly award small business contracts, it actively promotes small business participation through subcontracting opportunities and vendor development initiatives tied to prime contractor obligations. Its procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing range maintenance, utility management, environmental compliance, facility operations, and mission-critical infrastructure support. The office specializes in acquiring integrated services that sustain the physical and operational integrity of Army testing and training environments, requiring deep domain expertise in defense infrastructure lifecycle management.
