Headquartered at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama, AMC delivers current readiness, sets conditions to create surge capability and capacity and is modernizing in support of future capabilities. One of four Army Commands, AMC is critical to the Army and its role in fighting and winning the nation’s wars. AMC’s complex missions range from maintenance and distribution of spare parts to transportation and move- ment of equipment and munitions, to security assistance programs in support of partner nations. The command leads, manages and operates the Army’s Organic Indus- trial Base. Consisting of 26 depots, arsenals and ammuni- tion plants, the OIB overhauls, modernizes and upgrades major weapon systems. AMC also maintains the Army’s Prepositioned Stocks, both on land and afloat. The command is the DOD Executive Agent for the chemical weapons stockpile and for conventional ammu- nition, and includes global transportation experts who provide the warfighter with a single surface distribution provider that deliver capability and sustainment on time. To develop, buy and maintain materiel for the Army, AMC works closely with Program Executive Offices, the Army acquisition executive, industry, and other related agencies. The command handles the majority of the Army’s contracting, including a full range of contracting services for deployed units and installation-level services, supplies, and common-use information technology hardware and software. AMC also manages the multi- billion-dollar business of selling Army equipment and services to partner nations and allies of the United States, and negotiates and implements agreements for co-pro- duction of U.S. weapon systems by foreign nations. 2019 was a year of organizational change and transition for U.S. Army Materiel Command. Two AMC subordinate command elements – Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity, and Research, Development and Engineering Command (which was re-named Combat Capabilities Development Command) – were realigned to the new Army Futures Command in February. Installation Management Command, which handles the day-to-day operations of U.S. Army installations worldwide, transitioned from an Army Direct Reporting Unit to a Major Subordinate Command of AMC in March. Assigning installation management responsibilities to U.S. Army Materiel Command capitalizes on the logistics, sustainment and services expertise already inherent within the command, and better aligns responsibility for synchronizing and integrating functions where military power is generated, projected and sustained. During fiscal year 2020, AMC assumed the one-star U.S. Army Financial Management Command as its newest MSC. The Army’s newest 1-star command, responsible for operational medical logistics, reached initial operational capability in June. Army Medical Logistics Command, a new Major Subordinate Command of AMC, was developed after the restructuring of Medical Research and Materiel Command. MRMC’s research, develop- ment and acquisition elements re-designated to Medical Research and Development Command and transferred to Army Futures Command, while AMC maintained responsibility for operational medical logistics under the new organization. AMLC retained the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Agency, as well as the Medical Mate- riel Centers in Europe and Korea. The development of AMLC centralizes all classes of supply and sustainment functions under AMC. AMLC is expected to be fully operational in early FY20. U.S. Army Materiel Command relies on a workforce of around 190,000 military, DA Civilian and contractor employees – many of whom have highly developed spe- cialties in maintenance, manufacturing and logistics. By the numbers, the command’s 10 MSCs and two separate reporting activities deliver readiness solutions across the total force. AMC manages 95 active Army installations, 26 Organic Industrial Base facilities, and has a presence in all 50 states and more than 150 nations across the globe. U.S. Army Materiel Command is the foundation to Army readiness. Operations do not happen without the installa- tion and materiel readiness AMC provides.

VISION Operationalized to ensure Army materiel readiness for a globally dominant land force. 10 11 U.S. ARMY MATERIEL COMMAND RESOURCE GUIDE U.S. ARMY MATERIEL COMMAND RESOURCE GUIDE To accomplish this complex mission, the Army relies on the indus- trial base to provide innovation and the best possible technology and support services for the nation’s troops. This defense industrial base is comprised of both large and small businesses, and higher education institutions. Each of AMC’s Major Subordinate Commands has small business specialists who are committed to help industry explore opportunities to do business with their commands. These specialists may be a good starting place to effectively market an interested organization’s capabilities. AMC values partners who help the organization improve support to military men and women and lead the development of new technologies and sustainment processes to transform the Army. The following steps may be useful when doing business with the Army. 1. DETERMINE THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE It is very important to first determine the exact product or service you wish to sell to the Army. In order to correctly differ- entiate between marketing strategies and individual customers with specific needs, Federal Supply Classification Codes (FSC) are used to group products into logical families for management purposes. The four-digit fields are used to group standardiza- tion documents and their products. The FSCs are listed here: http://everyspec.com/FSC-CODE. In addition, the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) groups establishments into industries based on its primary activity: https://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/. Once a product or service has been chosen, use the Small Business Administration (SBA) size standard table to determine the business size in that NAICS code. It’s not uncommon for companies to qualify as “small” for one type of product they sell, but as “large” for another. HOW TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE ARMY U.S. Army Materiel Command relies on industry and partnerships to deploy, equip and sustain the warfighter. 2. REGISTER IN THE SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT In order to do business with the U.S. Government, including contracts and grants, businesses must register in the System for Award Management (SAM). Registration is free and can be accomplished online at www.sam.gov. A new CAGE (Com- mercial and Government Entity) code will be assigned if one doesn’t already exist, or, if there is a current CAGE code, that information will be updated. The CAGE code is a five-charac- ter alpha-numeric identifier assigned to entities located in the United States and its territories. A Data Universal Number System (DUNS) number is also required and may be obtained from Dun and Bradstreet at www.dnb.com or by calling 1-800-333-0505 or 610-882-7000. The DUNS number is a unique nine-digit identifier for businesses used to establish a D&B business credit file, which is often referenced by lenders and potential business partners to help predict the reliability and/or financial stability of the company in question. After an initial SAM registration, it must be updated annually. To note, the Dynamic Small Business Search profile of the SAM registration is a database is also used by govern- ment buyers seeking specific small businesses. 3. KNOW WHICH DIVISION OF THE ARMY WOULD BUY A PRODUCT OR SERVICE Billions of dollars are expended annually in support of the Army’s mission. Most of the Army’s buying activities make purchases in support of their individual base requirements and are considered local buys. The major Army Commands also have contractual responsibilities, depending upon their mission requirements. Find your niche. Don’t try to be everything to everybody. Products and services should only be marketed to potential customers that buy what you sell. Create a one-page capabilities Megan Abbott and Brittaniya Poirer, both team leaders with Mission Installation Contracting Command-McCoy, review information for a contract at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin.

Sturkol) statement that summarizes your experience. Longer capability briefings should be tailored to the specific customer you are meeting and demonstrate how you can address their challenges, including how your service or product has a positive impact on a Program Manager’s cost, schedule and performance. 4. RESEARCH CUSTOMERS As with any customer, it is best to do some research before contacting them. Many Army activities maintain their own websites, and this information may be helpful in identifying the primary mission of that command. DOD’s Small Business Professionals (SBPs) are advocates for small businesses and should be the first point of contact inside an agency. SBPs can help customers understand their organiza- tion’s mission, culture, challenges and requirements. Links to DOD Small Business Offices are available at http://business. defense.gov/Small-Business/DoD-Small-Business-Offices/. • U.S. Army Materiel Command – www.army.mil/amc • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – www.usace.army.mil • U.S. Army Medical Command – www.army.mil/armymedicine • National Guard Bureau – www.nationalguard.mil 5. DETERMINE IF THE GOVERNMENT PURCHASE CARD CAN BE ACCEPTED Certain personnel at each installation are authorized to use gov- ernment purchase cards (also known as IMPAC cards) to buy supplies and services valued at $5,000 or less. Some activities may be able to provide a listing of the purchase card holders who can directly market products or services. 6. SEEK ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE IN THE DEFENSE MARKETPLACE There are numerous agencies that can assist small business firms seeking to do business with the Army and other federal agencies. • The Small Business Administration (SBA), www.sba.gov, provides a wide array of services to small businesses, including counseling, certifications, financial assistance, small business management assistance and free or low cost training. • Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTAC), www.aptac-us.org, serve as a resource for businesses that are both pursuing and performing under government contracts. They are located in most states and are partially funded by DOD. Services provided by PTACs include counseling, regis- tration assistance for systems such as SAM, identification of contract opportunities, help in understanding requirements and training at minimal or no cost. • Small Business Development Centers, www.sba.gov/tools/ local-assistance/sbdc, provide aspiring and current small busi- ness owners a variety of free business consulting and low-cost training services, including business plan development, manu- facturing assistance, financial packaging and lending assistance, exporting and importing support, disaster recovery assistance, procurement and contracting aid, market research help, 8(a) program support and healthcare guidance. • The Service Corps of Retired Executives, www.SCORE.org, is a nonprofit association dedicated to helping small business- es get off the ground, and to grow and to achieve their goals through education and mentorship. They are supported by the SBA and thousands of volunteers and consequently can deliver services at minimal or no cost. 7.

PURSUE SUBCONTRACTING OPPORTUNITIES Regardless of the product or service, a very large secondary market exists in Subcontracting Opportunities with DOD Prime Contractors. The DOD Prime Contractor Directory, http:// business.defense.gov/Acquisition/Subcontracting/Subcon- tracting-For-Small-Business/, identifies large prime contrac- tors that are required to establish subcontracting plans. The list includes company names, prime contract numbers, contract pe- riods of performance, NAICS codes, company points of contact (POCs), POC phone numbers and POC email addresses. This directory includes contact information of prime contractors for potential subcontracting opportunities. SBA’s SUB-Net allows you to search for potential subcontract- ing opportunities. SUB-Net database identifies subcontracting solicitations and opportunities posted by large prime contrac- tors and other non-federal agencies, http://web.sba.gov/sub- net/. You have to create an account to use this resource. The Small Business Administration’s “Subcontracting Assis- tance Directory” identifies who can be contacted for questions about subcontracting: https://www.sba.gov/federal-contract- ing/contracting-guide/prime-subcontracting/.

MONITOR FEDERAL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES Federal business opportunities are posted on www.fbo.gov/. This is a single point of entry for the federal government and should be monitored daily. 11. CONNECTING INDUSTRY AND DOD The Defense Innovation Marketplace, www.defenseinnovationmarketplace.mil/, is a communications resource to provide industry with improved insight into the Research and Engineering (R&E) investment priorities of DOD. The Marketplace contains DOD R&E strategic documents, solicitations and news/events to better inform Independent Research and Development (IR&D) planning. The IR&D Secure Portal houses project summaries that provide DOD with visibility into the IR&D efforts submitted. Your organization’s Independent Research & Development (IR&D) data input into the Defense Innovation Marketplace is considered proprietary and protected accordingly. Access to the database is restricted to DOD federal employees or military service members only with a direct interest in technology development or S&T planning and who have a Common Access Card. 12. PROTECTING THE DOD’S UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION DFARS Clause 252.204-7012, Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting, requires contrac- tors/subcontractors to provide adequate security to safeguard covered defense information that resides on or is transiting through a contractor’s internal information system or network. Covered defense information means: • Unclassified controlled technical information or other infor- mation as described in the Controlled Unclassified Information Registry that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls pursuant to and consistent with law, regulations and govern- ment-wide policies and is 1) Marked or otherwise identified in the contract, task order or delivery order and provided to the contractor by or on behalf of DOD in support of the performance of the contract; or 2) Collected, developed, received, transmitted, used or stored by, or on behalf of, the contractor in support of the perfor- mance of the contract. • Cybersecurity in DoD Acquisition Regulations, https://dod- procurementtoolbox.com/ • Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy, https://www. acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/dfarspgi/current/index.html • Cybersecurity Evaluation Tool, https://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/ Downloading-and-Installing-CSET • National Institute of Standards and Technology An artisan works with material for the Army's Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) at a manufacturing plant. The Army's newest pattern, similar to the MultiCam previously worn by troops deployed to Afghanistan, was adopted during the mid-2010s and replaced the Army Combat Uniform (ACU). The Battle Dress Uniform (BDU), predecessor for the ACU, was worn from the early 1980s until a few years after the ACU was introduced in 2004. Other uniforms produced during the BDU's tenure included the Desert Camouflage Uniform, worn toward the beginning of operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the Desert Battle Dress Uniform, which was in service most notably during the Persian Gulf War. As priorities and focus changes, the Army remains postured to ensure warfighters are provided with the best equipment and uniforms to do their jobs effectively and efficiently. Partnerships help ensure this mission is accomplished.

INVESTIGATE FEDERAL SUPPLY SCHEDULES As the acquisition workforce within the Army is downsized, more and more products and services are being purchased from General Services Administration (GSA) schedules. GSA’s acquisition solutions supply federal purchasers with cost-ef- fective high-quality products and services from commercial vendors. Contact www.gsa.gov for more information. 14. MARKETING After the customers have been identified, requirements researched and the procurement regulations and strategies generally understood, the final step is to market the product or service directly. Capabilities should be clearly and cogently presented to the Army activities and prime contractors. If the match is a good one, they can be provided with a cost-effective, quality solution to their requirements. 15. DOING BUSINESS WITH THE DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is DOD’s logistics combat support agency, providing worldwide logistics support in both peacetime and wartime to the military services, as well as several civilian agencies and foreign countries. As the nation’s combat logistics support agency, DLA (www.dla.mil/) manages the global supply chain – from raw materials to end user disposition – for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, 10 Combatant Commands, other federal agencies and partner and allied nations. 14 15 U.S. ARMY MATERIEL COMMAND RESOURCE GUIDE U.S. ARMY MATERIEL COMMAND RESOURCE GUIDE HOW TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE ARMY: CENTERS OF INDUSTRIAL & TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE Title 10, United States Code, Section 2474 requires the Secretary of the Army to designate each depot-level activity or army military arsenal facility as a Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence (CITE) in one or more specific technical competencies required for core capabilities.

The goal of Public-Private Partnership (P3) is to establish mutually beneficial relationships between the U.S. Army and private and public sector organizations to increase readiness: An agreement between an Army facility and one or more private industry entities to perform work or utilize the Army’s facilities and equipment. Partnering is a cooperative effort, not a competitive engagement. The U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC) takes great pride in ensuring that partnerships are an important part of our portfolio. The power of partnering provides a superb opportunity for government and industry to collectively and collaboratively build a unified relationship, resulting in the timely acquisition and production of high quality equipment for the joint warfighter at a reduced cost. Partnering is the single most effective tool we have to protect AMC capabilities in both public and private sectors. Statutes and Regulations: Numerous statutes and reg- ulations govern public private partnerships. Below is a list of a few key examples. Refer to the actual text in the applicable law or regulation for specific language. • Armament Retooling and Manufacturing Support Programs – 10 United States Code (USC) 4551-4555 • Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence – 10 USC 2474 • Cooperative research and development agreements – 15 USC 3710a • Direct Sales (Outside DOD) – 10 USC 2563 • Direct Sales – (Support of DoD contracts) – 10 USC 2208(h) • Direct Sales (Outside DOD) – 10 USC 4543 • Direct Sales (Outside of DoD contracts) – 10 USC 4544 • Enhanced Use Leasing – 10 USC 2667 ARMY OBJECTIVES: • Improve operational efficiencies • Lower cost of products and services • Accelerate innovation • Leverage public-private investment • Sustain critical skills and capabilities • Facility Use Agreements – 10 USC 2474; FAR Part 45.3 & 45.4 • Subcontracting – 10 USC 2208(j) • Samples & Test Services – 10 USC 2539b (Labs) • Support of Defense Exports – 22 USC 2770 • Public-Private Partnerships for Depot-Level Maintenance – DoDI 4151.21 The AMC Enterprise supports two types of partnerships. The first partnership type is P3. For instance, 10 USC, Section 2474, enables Centers of Industrial and Technical Excellence (CITE) to engage in partnerships with private industry. A P3 establishes a funded and/or operated partnership between the government and one or more private sector companies. In simpler terms, if there is a mutual opportunity to work together, the AMC Enter- prise wants to partner with you. The second partnership type is Public-to-Public Part- nership, or what is commonly referred to as a P2. A P2 partnership is normally engaged by the government sector and is built on an agreement between two govern- ment entities for the sale of its products and/or services through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) or Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and is exe- cuted through a Statement of Work (SOW). Both Pub- lic-to-Public and Pubic-to-Private Partnerships provide endless benefits for all parties involved while ensuring the final production of quality equipment and systems for the Army.

(U.S. Army photo by Jesse Barber) 16 17 U.S. ARMY MATERIEL COMMAND RESOURCE GUIDE U.S. ARMY MATERIEL COMMAND RESOURCE GUIDE HOW TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE ARMY: WHAT IS ARMS? Two statutes primarily govern the Armament Retooling and Manufacturing Support (ARMS) program: 10 United States Code (USC) Chapter 434 § 4553 – Armament Retooling and Manufacturing Support Initiative and 10 USC Chapter 434 § 4554 – Property Management Contracts and Leases. Simply stated, ARMS is an opportunity for business growth and expansion using government ammunition industrial facilities and equipment. The contractors are finding innovative ways to attract commercial work to these industrial facilities. Idle capacity and capability available at these facilities for use by the private sector include land, buildings, equipment, utilities, communications, transportation and skilled workers. What is ARMS? The ARMS Program was authorized by the ARMS Act of 1992 (10 USC Chapter 434) to encourage the com- mercial and government use of underutilized property at select installations, in order to compensate for reduced production volumes and facility closures that would adversely impact the local economies. The ARMS Team The ARMS program is managed through a cooperative effort between the PEO Ammunition (PEO Ammo), located at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, and Joint Munitions Command (JMC), located at Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois. The ARMS program is executed locally by the facility operators at the Government Owned Contractor Operated sites for which the ARMS program was cre- ated. 2016 NATIONAL DEFENSE ACT The 2016 National Defense Act (25 November 2015, Section 343) effectively extended the maximum lease duration to a total of 50 years. 10 USC Chapter 434 SECTION 4551 - definitions This section introduces the legislation and provides basic definitions, which include ARMS Initiative, Eligible Facility, Property Manager, and Property Management Contract. SECTION 4552 - Policy This section provides information on the purpose and general policies of the legislation. In summary, the purpose is to encourage the use of unused eligible Gov- ernment Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) facilities as a means of promoting domestic manufacturing, cre- ating and maintaining skilled jobs, and helping to lower the facility sustainment costs, thus lowering the cost of ammunition. SECTION 4553 – ARMS Support Initiative This section formally establishes the ARMS Initiative, with a purpose that includes ten (10) distinctively defined elements. It also provides guidance on the availability of facilities, consideration for leases, and program administration. SECTION 4554 – Contracts & Leasing This section further defines and clarifies program ele- ments regarding contracts/leases and the types of consideration that may be accepted. To promote this effort, the Army under the auspices of the ARMS program, will make available various incentives, such items as: marketing funds; use of land, buildings, and equipment; existing state and federal permits; loan guarantees; planning grants; and possibly employment incentives. This innovative approach saves tax dollars, benefits large as well as small and disadvan- taged businesses, supports the return of off-shore U.S. companies, and mitigates the economic effects on the local communities.

By employing a wide range of facilities use techniques, the ability exists to tailor commercial relationships to meet the specific market needs to the private sector client. No other defense reutilization program has shown such promise as a means of promoting economic growth and sustainable development in local communities. The ARMS program allows the government to retain title to its land while providing a means for private contractors to market its industrial sites as commercial entities. As a result, the Army's costs of ownership are significantly reduced, in some cases, to zero. The key to ARMS is the recognition that defense industrial facilities have value far beyond military uses. In partnership with the private sector, Army sites are being converted into multi-purpose commercial parks while still being main- tained as ready defense assets. As a result, ARMS has emerged as the most successful cooperative-use model in the nation. It is being studied by other military services and the Department of Energy for possible applications to their particular conversion needs. Col. Gail E.

HISTORY AMCOM traces its history to the early days of missile development at Redstone Arsenal in 1955, and the nucleus of its organizations produced the experienced teams that became NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, the Army Space and Missile Defense Command and the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Missile and Space Intelligence Center. AMCOM was officially formed Oct. 1, 1997, by merging the Aviation and Troop Support Command with the Missile Command, and proudly continues the tradition of excellence that was the cornerstone of its predecessor organizations. In 2004, AMCOM’s mission transformed to a life-cycle sustainment focus with the inception of the AMCOM Life-Cycle Management Command (LCMC). This change created an integrated organization with a single commander invested with responsibility for the life-cycle sustainment of the Army’s aviation and Army’s Airworthiness Authority. AMCOM continues to provide superior sustainment support to the current force, while evolving and rapidly transforming its capabilities in support of legacy and modernized systems.
