Army Picks 6 Contractors for $180M Applicant Management Support Effort

The U.S. Army has selected six contractors for a potential five-year, $180.6 million contract for applicant management services in support of military entrance processing stations.

The Department of Defense said Monday the initial award is worth $82 million for meals, lodging and transportation services, with work locations and funding to be determined with each order of the firm-fixed-price contract.

Selected contractors are:

Amentum
Bellator Group
Command Management Services
Empire Hospitality
Liberty Lodging
TechTrans International

The companies were among 14 vendors that submitted bid as part of an online solicitation process for the MEPS Applicant Management Services contract.

In May 2023, the Army’s Mission and Installation Contracting Command released a pre-solicitation notice for its plan to issue the multiple-award contract, which could reach up to $1.1 billion. Services will support the 67 Military Entrance Processing Command facilities across the contiguous United States.
