AFB

An Air Force Base is a U.S. Air Force installation that serves as a center for military operations, training, logistics, or support functions. AFBs host contracting offices that procure supplies, services, and construction to support base operations and assigned missions.

AFB contracting offices handle installation-level procurements while major commands and specialized centers manage larger enterprise acquisitions. Understanding AFB organizational structures and local contracting authorities helps contractors identify opportunities and appropriate points of contact. Each AFB has unique mission requirements that drive local contracting needs.
