BRAC

Base Realignment and Closure

Definition

Base Realignment and Closure is the congressionally authorized process for closing, realigning, or consolidating military installations to improve efficiency and reduce infrastructure costs. BRAC decisions significantly impact contracting opportunities at affected installations.

BRAC implementation creates both challenges and opportunities for contractors. Closing installations reduce local contract requirements while receiving installations may see increased demand. BRAC transition contracts support facility preparation, equipment relocation, environmental remediation, and personnel moves. Understanding BRAC timelines helps contractors plan market positioning.
