# Army Retains $245M Colorado Base Services Contract

The Government Accountability Office found that Keta Environmental and Infrastructure did not show that the U.S. Army’s best-value tradeoff or discussions were improper, allowing KTH Services JV’s $245 million incumbent contract for facility operations at Fort Carson and the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site in Colorado to remain in place. For procurement teams, the decision highlights the importance of a well-supported evaluation record and specific evidence when challenging an award; for contractors, the incumbent retains this facility-operations work at both sites.

- The contract covers facility operations at two Colorado Army installations and remains with KTH Services JV after GAO’s review.
- Agencies conducting best-value procurements should document how tradeoffs and discussions support the award decision; protesters need to substantiate specific evaluation or process errors.
- Contractors pursuing similar base-operations work can use the outcome to assess the competitive position of incumbents and the evidence needed to challenge an award.
