HUBZone opportunity
Missouri HUBZone areas include extensive rural coverage in the Ozarks, portions of the Bootheel, and select census tracts in St. Louis and Kansas City. Fort Leonard Wood's surrounding Pulaski County has specific HUBZone census tracts that are particularly valuable for firms serving installation contracts — check the SBA map before pursuing the designation.
Strategy for buyers
Missouri's federal market is anchored by Fort Leonard Wood (Maneuver Support Center, largest training installation in Army), Scott Air Force Base (US Transportation Command), Whiteman Air Force Base (B-2 stealth bomber), and the Army Corps of Engineers Mississippi Valley Division. For acquisition buyers, the most accessible opportunities are installation support services at Fort Leonard Wood — the installation hosts thousands of trainees requiring continuous support services — and Army Corps environmental and construction contracting throughout the Missouri and Mississippi river systems.
