ICON has been awarded a production Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement by the U.S. Army for $62.8 million to 3D print ten additional transient training barracks at Ft. Bliss in El Paso, TX, marking the largest deployment of robotic construction technology and 3D-printed buildings for the Department of War (DOW) to date.
Building on ICON’s nearly 8,000-square-foot, UFC-compliant 3D-printed barracks completed at Ft. Bliss in 2025, this project showcases how emerging construction technologies are transforming Army infrastructure delivery. While traditional barracks projects can take years to complete, ICON will deliver ten fully compliant barracks in just six months—providing high-quality housing at the speed required to support today’s service members and mission readiness.
The award continues ICON’s work across the U.S Government (USG) and DoW to improve building quality and reduce building time and expenses. To date, ICON has been awarded more than $170 million in government contracts and has teamed with various departments including the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force and Texas Military Department to 3D print military vehicle hide structures, innovation centers, commercial buildings, and barracks that have seen over 50,000 soldier nights. ICON’s work with the USG also includes research and development with DARPA and with NASA for space-based construction systems to build lunar infrastructure. ICON and its government partners have invested tens of millions of dollars in advanced R&D projects to create breakthrough construction, robotic, and software technologies. These include, 3D-printing in sub-zero temperatures, investigating the use of local materials in international geographies, developing software to advance the design and construction of secure facilities, 3D-printing under water and designing explosion-proof task robots.
