Army Solicits $49M Small Business Deal for Live-Fire Range Support
The U.S. Army is seeking a single small business prime for a $49 million contract supporting Western Hemisphere Command and U.S. Army Reserve live-fire training ranges, emphasizing technical master gunner expertise over price.
The U.S. Army has issued a solicitation for a single-award, $49 million small business contract to manage and maintain live-fire training facilities under the Western Hemisphere Command Sustainable Range Program. Designed to support both Western Hemisphere Command and the U.S. Army Reserve, the vehicle will issue fixed-price task orders covering key installations, including Fort Campbell and Fort Hunter-Liggett. In addition to facility management, the selected vendor will be tasked with directly refurbishing legacy equipment, such as obsolete Stationary Infantry Target lifter mechanisms at Fort Campbell, ensuring targetry infrastructure keeps pace with active operational standards.
The contract requires a rare hybrid capability set, blending environmental stewardship with deep tactical military expertise. Offerors must supply subject matter experts across land rehabilitation, erosion control, training facility operations, data collection, and federal regulatory compliance. Crucially, vendors must also deploy personnel possessing technical mastery equivalent to an Army Master Gunner. These specialized personnel will inform strategy and conduct assessments across gunnery methodologies, vehicle-mounted weapons systems, and training platform parameters—signaling the Army's intent to closely align range infrastructure with modern vehicle platform capabilities and force lethality requirements.
