The presence of US troops in Poland is not only a matter of increasing the security and prestige of our country. It is also a significant market related to ensuring the construction, development, and maintenance of American bases. Find out how your company can benefit from the planned investments in the coming years.
We support subcontractors in project management and communication with the US side at the highest level. Subcontractors sign contracts for task implementation directly with us, based on Polish law regulations.
By acquiring new contracts, we focus on investments in Poland and Germany. We are responsible for preparing tender offers based on the substantive input and valuations of our subcontractors.
After the completion of the entire investment or subsequent stages based on acceptance protocols, we settle contracts with the US side. We settle with our subcontractors based on the invoices issued by them.

To begin fulfilling contracts for the US Army, one must be registered and verified in the appropriate systems. Our company meets all of these criteria and successfully wins bids and fulfills contracts for the US Army. We are constantly looking for reliable subcontractors in many fields.
In bids for US military contracts, a security deposit is not required. However, for larger contracts, bank guarantees are required. Americans do not accept insurance guarantees.
The tender is carried out according to the FAR, which is the federal law on public procurement in the United States. As the general contractor, we sign a contract with the relevant US government agency. We sign agreements with subcontractors based on the SOFA agreement and local law regulations.
No. The US military does not require companies to have a Classified Office in their organizational structure.
Under the SOFA agreement, contracts executed for the US military have a 0% VAT rate and 0% excise tax. As the general contractor, we apply to the relevant authorities for a VAT 0% Certificate after the contract is fulfilled. Such a certificate is also granted to our subcontractor. The certificate is signed by the American and Polish sides on behalf of the Minister of National Defense. The exemption is not based on tax law but on the international SOFA agreement (Status of Forces Agreement).
Payment is dependent on the invoice being uploaded and accepted in the appropriate system. Usually, payment is made within 30 days of invoice acceptance in the system. We inform our subcontractors when we expect payment from a given federal agency. Of course, there are several days needed to process international wire transfers. The US ARMY is a reliable payer of contracts that are completed according to specifications and within the specified timeframe.
Contractual penalties are included in the contract with the US government as well as with subcontractors. However, the US military is flexible in contract implementation and is primarily focused on the end result. It is not a profit-driven company. From our experience, we know that it is possible to reach an agreement with them in case of problems, but it is worth predicting and reporting any risks that may affect the implementation of contracts as soon as possible.
Fluent knowledge of English is not required to fulfill the contract. It is important that there is a person with communicative knowledge of English in the subcontractor's team who will be able to communicate with the personnel on the base in case of a problem. We are responsible for formal communication with the contracting officers.
