JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas (Jan. 19, 2024) -- Registration is now underway through April 12 for the fourth annual Mission and Installation Contracting Command Advance Planning Briefing for Industry taking place virtually April 22-25, 2024.

Ambre Wallitsch, an assistant director for the office of small business programs with the 419th Contracting Support Brigade at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, is leading planning efforts for the April 2024 APBI.

“Opening registration early will allow for greater flexibility, and it will maximize participation from industry,” Wallitsch said.

Recorded briefings from the March 2023 APBI are available on the MICC YouTube site at https://www.youtube.com/@army-micc/videos.

In fiscal 2023, MICC contracting professionals executed more than 24,000 contract actions valued at more than $5.6 billion in support of installation support services, facilities maintenance and sustainment, logistics, and range and mission support services for the Army enterprise across the continental United States. This included more than $2.98 billion to American small businesses allowing the MICC to achieve its small business goals for the ninth consecutive year.
