# Army Expands University of Montana Agreement

On October 14, 2026, the U.S. Army expanded its 2023 Regional Intergovernmental Support Agreement (RIGSA) with the University of Montana to cover every Installation Management Command installation, including Fort Carson and the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site in Colorado. The agreement provides environmental compliance, natural-resource planning, cultural-site evaluation, and rapid field-research support through a streamlined procurement vehicle. The announcement identifies no contract value, solicitation number, or new open competition, so it signals expanded use of an existing agreement rather than a newly available solicitation.

- Army installation teams can use the expanded agreement for environmental and resource-management support across IMCOM installations; procurement staff should distinguish this existing vehicle from an open competitive opportunity.
- The expansion broadens the geographic scope of the University of Montana’s work. Other firms may find relevant demand in comparable environmental, cultural-resource, and field-research services, but this announcement does not identify a new route to compete for this work.
- The signal provides no contract value or solicitation details, limiting assessment of funding and acquisition timing.
