Smith & Wesson receives US Army’s ACP design-build contract

The US Army and Engineering Support Center, Huntsville (CEHNC) has awarded a contract to Smith & Wesson Security Solutions to provide design and construction services at the US Department of Defense (DoD) installations located across the globe.

Under the $230m access control point (ACP) design-build contract, Smith & Wesson will perform construction, design, repair, renovation, conversion, procurement, installation, and maintenance services, which are needed to secure the entry points at Government facilities.

Smith & Wesson Security Solutions president Wesley Foss said the contract is culmination of a two year strategic plan to establish the company as a prime contractor to support missions for the US Army Corps of Engineers.

"Coupled with our recent award earlier this year in January of a $315 million worldwide maintenance and service contract, this contract award integrates very well within our ongoing global expansion," Foss added.

The five-year contract is an indefinite delivery/ indefinite quantity (IDIQ) multiple award task order contract (MATOC).

Till date, the company has conducted similar work for 20 separate US Government agencies and at over 125 US military installations.
