ACC Construction Wins $87.6 Million Army Deal to Build Fort Bragg Command Center
The Augusta, Georgia, contractor secured a firm-fixed-price award for a mission command center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, with work due by July 2029. The action carries a cumulative face value of $93 million.
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA — ACC Construction Co. Inc., a family-run military builder based in Augusta, Georgia, won an $87.6 million Army contract to build a mission command center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, as announced on war.gov.
The firm-fixed-price award carries a total cumulative face value of $92,975,763, according to war.gov. Fiscal 2026 military construction, defense-wide funds of $87.6 million were obligated at the time of the award. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers office in Wilmington, North Carolina, serves as the contracting activity under identifier W912PM-26-C-A017.
The Army solicited bids over the internet and received three, according to war.gov. Work will be performed at Fort Bragg, with an estimated completion date of July 12, 2029.
Founded in 1987 by Mason H. McKnight III, ACC Construction focuses primarily on United States military work and has completed more than $1.3 billion in projects for clients that include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State, according to acccon.net. A fourth generation of the McKnight family now works at the firm, with Mason McKnight IV, Matthew McKnight and Marshall McKnight serving as vice presidents, according to acccon.net. The company has previously delivered the USACAPOC headquarters at Fort Bragg, giving it a track record at the same installation.
Mission command centers house the computers, communications gear and staff that commanders use to direct forces. A modern facility at Fort Bragg supports one of the Army’s largest and most active installations, home to airborne and special operations units. The Army benefits from upgraded command infrastructure, while ACC and its subcontractors gain nearly three years of steady construction work in the North Carolina economy.
The award marks the first contract recorded for ACC Construction in 2026, setting the company’s benchmark within the Army portfolio for the year. It stands as the largest Army contract in the database for 2026 at $87,580,808, above a year-to-date minimum of $27.9 million. The deal is also the first Department of Defense contract awarded in Georgia during 2026, and it ranked among six Department of Defense contracts announced nationwide on July 28, 2026.
Military construction spending flows into local economies through wages, materials and subcontracts, and Fort Bragg ranks among the top employers in the Fayetteville region. A project of this scale can sustain hundreds of construction jobs over its life, touching suppliers and service firms far beyond the base gate.
Large federal construction awards to ACC have happened before. The company reports 88 completed projects across 25 jobsite locations and cites work such as the Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia, and the Hyatt House in Augusta, according to acccon.net. Federal award disputes and protests are reviewed by the Government Accountability Office, which adjudicates bid protests for defense contracts, according to gao.gov.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Wilmington will oversee performance and payment decisions as construction proceeds toward the July 12, 2029, target. No further review date has been announced.
Fort Bragg has long anchored American ground power, and command posts there trace a long lineage. The installation opened in 1918 as Camp Bragg, an artillery training ground, and grew into the home of the 82nd Airborne Division and Army special operations forces across the 20th century, according to war.gov. The post was redesignated Fort Liberty in 2023 before reverting to Fort Bragg in 2025. Builders who delivered its facilities helped shape a base that has deployed forces to every major American conflict since World War II.
This contract represents the 1st contract awarded to ACC Construction Co. Inc., in 2026, bringing the company’s total contract value for the year to $87,580,808. It is also the 1st Department of Defense contract awarded in Georgia during 2026. Because this is the first award to ACC Construction Co. Inc. recorded in the database, it establishes the company’s initial benchmark within the Army portfolio. Specifically, it is the largest Army contract awarded in 2026, at $87,580,808, while the year-to-date minimum stands at $27,888,512. Overall, this award was announced among 6 Department of Defense contracts issued nationwide on July 28, 2026.
