Army Reserve Selects The Building People to Lead Scalable Facility Operations for 63d DPW

Leesburg, VA – October 27, 2025 — The Building People, a leader in integrated real estate and facilities solutions for the public and private sectors, has been awarded a five-year contract to provide comprehensive Area Facility Operations Support Services for the U.S. Army Reserve’s 63d Readiness Division (63d RD) Directorate of Public Works (DPW). This contract strengthens a longstanding partnership with the Army Reserve and reaffirms The Building People’s commitment to enabling mission-critical operations through expertise, innovation, and accountability.

Under the new agreement, The Building People will support more than 100 sites across a seven-state area of responsibility, including Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The contract includes a six-month base period and four option years, extending through May 31, 2030.  Since 2019, The Building People has helped the 63d transition from fragmented, inconsistent regional workflows to a standardized, data-informed operations model aligned with Army Reserve objectives.

“Our approach has centered on proactive engagement with our customers and scalable solutions that enable long-term readiness,” said Lawrence Melton, CEO of The Building People. “This contract reaffirms the trust placed in our team to deliver reliable, mission-aligned support across a complex and geographically diverse portfolio.”

The contract scope includes oversight for operations and maintenance, CAD and engineering services, technical facility support, energy programming, project management, workspace management, quality assurance, and service contract reporting. The Building People’s embedded teams will deliver both strategic and site-level support across six DPW service zones, managing diverse facility types including Reserve Centers (USARC), Maintenance Support Activities (AMSA/OMS), Equipment Concentration Sites (ECS), and Armed Forces Reserve Centers (AFRC).

This continuation of services reflects The Building People’s ongoing commitment to delivering resilient, high-performing facility operations that strengthen mission readiness across the federal government.
