open solicitations

South Korea hosts one of the largest U.S. military presences overseas, centered on Camp Humphreys near Pyeongtaek, the largest U.S. military base abroad, along with Osan and Kunsan Air Bases.

Base operations, construction, maintenance and parts delivered through DIBBS make South Korea a leading destination for U.S. defense contracts, alongside the U.S. Embassy in Seoul.
