AMC Business Connections
Army Materiel Command actively seeks collaboration and partnership with industry to more efficiently and effectively deploy, equip and sustain Soldiers around the globe. AMC works with industry through a range of partnering mechanisms in a way that grants flexibility to pursue cost-effective solutions. AMC seeks an active and ongoing dialogue with its current and potential contractors and partners. The following resources provide information on partnering with AMC.
Public-Private Partnerships
AMC's Public-Private Partnerships (P3) is an innovative approach that has helped the Army preserve its Organic Industrial Base (OIB) and reduce costs while sustaining critical skill sets in the workforce.
Partnering has a range of possibilities which include Army installations providing articles and/or services to industry, industry leasing equipment and/or facilities to perform work for either the public or private sector, work-sharing arrangements and teaming arrangements where the installation and industry jointly contract with a program manager. Partnering is a cooperative effort, not a competitive engagement.
Nested with the Army’s most significant modernization effort in 40 years, AMC is executing a 15-year (FY24-38), $18.1 billion OIB Modernization Implementation Plan focused on 5 Lines of Effort: Facilities and Infrastructure; Tooling and Processes; Workforce; Network and Cyber; and Energy and Environment.

The Army's industrial capabilities and capacities should make an attractive partner.
