# Army Releases $7.59B HR Contract Drafts

The U.S. Army has issued draft solicitations for two Human Resources Solutions GEN VI IDIQ multiple-award contracts with combined estimated ceilings of $7.59 billion and potential 10-year terms. The $1.5 billion Recruiting Management Administrative Support (RMAS) opportunity is set aside for small businesses; the $6.09 billion Personnel Lifecycle Support (PLS) opportunity is full and open, with a five-year base period and one five-year option. Industry comments and questions are due by **5 p.m. Eastern on October 26, 2026—four days from the current date**.

- Small businesses can assess the RMAS set-aside and submit comments on the draft requirements; firms considering PLS can evaluate the full-and-open competition and potential teaming strategies.
- The draft stage gives prospective offerors a near-term opportunity to identify requirement or solicitation issues and provide input before final solicitations are issued.
- Companies should distinguish their bid plans across the two tracks: RMAS is reserved for small businesses, while PLS is open to competition from all eligible firms.
