Only 1 in 4 Bids? U.S. Army Contracts in Korea Are Wide Open

The U.S. maintains a significant Army presence across South Korea, including bases, training facilities, housing, and operational infrastructure. These installations require constant upgrades, maintenance, logistics, and support services — a $1.4B annual market.

Yet competition is surprisingly low: only around 4 bidders per contract on average, with about 3,000 active U.S. vendors. That level of opportunity with this little competition is rare in federal contracting.

However, execution can be challenging due to Korean regulations, labor, sourcing, and on-site logistics. That’s where local partnerships matter. I help connect primes with reliable Korean subcontractors who already operate in this sector, making local delivery far smoother.
