U. S. ARMY MATERIEL COMMAND
INTRODUCTION
The Army Materiel Command (AMC) is decisively engaged in
supporting the Army's transformation to an evermore responsive,
deployable, agile, versatile, lethal, survivable, and sustainable
force. AMC serves a crucial role in technological innovation,
state of the art streamlined acquisition support, and seamless
logistics from the factory to the foxhole to enable our 21st
century Army to fight and win our Nation's wars.
To accomplish this extremely complex mission, AMC relies on
the industrial base to provide innovation and the best possible
technology and support services for our warfighters. This military
industrial base is comprised of both large and small businesses,
and higher education institutions, including historically black
colleges and universities and minority institutions.
All of the AMC subordinate commands have Small Business
Specialists who are there to help you and offer suggestions on
how best to do business within their commands. These
specialists, whose contact information is in this pamphlet, are an
excellent starting place for a business or organization to
effectively market its capabilities. There are literally thousands of
business opportunities within the command and we encourage
you to use the information in this pamphlet to find the right
business opportunities for you.
We invite you to join the Army Materiel Command team to
help us achieve our vision of continuously improving support to
our military men and women and serving as the leader in the
development of new technologies and sustainment processes for
our Nation's warfighters.

U. S. ARMY MATERIEL COMMAND
U.S. ARMY MATERIEL COMMAND
(AMC)
AMC is the Army’s premier provider of materiel readiness -technology, acquisition support, materiel development, logistics
power projection, and sustainment -- to the total force, across the
spectrum of joint military operations. The command’s complex
missions range from development of sophisticated weapon
systems and cutting-edge research, to maintenance and
distribution of spare parts.
AMC operates the Research, Development and Engineering
Centers, Army Research Laboratory, depots, arsenals,
ammunition plants, and other facilities, and maintains the Army’s
prepositioned stocks, both on land and afloat. The command is
also the DoD Executive Agent for conventional ammunition and
nuclear, chemical and biological defense.
The command’s main effort is to achieve the development,
support, and sustainment of the future Army while at the same
time, supporting and sustaining the current Army. Through its
maintenance depots, AMC restores weapon systems needed as
the Army makes its way to full transformation. The command’s
overhaul and modernization efforts are enhancing and upgrading
major weapon systems - not just making them like new, but
inserting technology to make them better.
AMC handles diverse missions that reach far beyond the
Army. For example, AMC manages the multi-billion dollar
business of selling Army equipment and services to friends and
allies of the United States and negotiates and implements
agreements for co-production of U.S. weapon systems by foreign
nations. AMC also provides numerous acquisition and logistics
services to the other components of the Department of Defense
and to many other government agencies.
AMC is headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Va. and is located in
about 149 locations worldwide, including more than 40 states
and 38 countries. AMC has about 50,000 dedicated employees
at these organizations, both military and civilian, many with
highly developed specialties in weapons development and
logistics.

U. S. ARMY MATERIEL COMMAND
To develop, acquire, and maintain materiel for the Army,
AMC works closely with industry, as well as colleges and
universities, to ensure that state-of-the-art technology is
leveraged for the defense of the nation.
As the place in the Army where superior technology,
acquisition support, and logistics are integrated to assure
readiness for today and tomorrow, AMC is heavily involved in
making the Army more responsive, deployable, agile, versatile,
lethal, survivable, and sustainable. From beans to bullets,
helmets to helicopters, spare parts to spare ribs, AMC touches
every soldier in the Army every day.
