Air Force Civil Engineer Center

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center Civil Engineer Center is a defense agency that contracts for and funds civil engineering, environmental remediation, and installation-support services across Air Force facilities and infrastructure programs. Operating within Air Force Materiel Command's acquisition structure, the Center executes the command's mission to manage real estate, environmental compliance, and operational readiness for active and inactive installations.

The Center has awarded 4,729 federal contracts totaling $14.02 billion in combined potential value since 2001, with $12.72 billion obligated (91% of potential). Contract volume declined over the last five years: 199 awards in 2022, 188 in 2023, 154 in 2024, 179 in 2025, and 70 year-to-date in 2026. The contract base is highly fragmented competitively. Over the last five years, the top five primes by award count account for only 9% of recent awards, led by Lata-Cti Environmental Services LLC (16 awards, $27.4 million potential value), HDR Environmental, Operations And Construction, Inc. (15 awards, $21.5 million), and Parsons Government Services Inc. (15 awards, $35.6 million). By potential value, the top five are even more dispersed at 6% coverage, with CMS Corporation leading at 6 awards and $344.5 million, followed by Cherokee Nation Strategic Programs, L.L.C. (7 awards, $146 million) and Jones Lang Lasalle Americas, Inc. (14 awards, $136.8 million). The prime base spans 981 distinct contractors across the portfolio history. Set-asides account for 26% of awards: small-business designations comprise 15% of awards, 8(a) (sole source and competitive combined) represents 9%, HUBZone 1%, and service-disabled veteran-owned and woman-owned small-business categories account for less than 1% combined.

The Center has issued 103 federal grants totaling $390.1 million in combined federal obligations since 2009, with the most recent grant award dated July 10, 2026. Grant volume is modest and volatile: 9 awards in 2022, 11 in 2023, 15 in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 5 in 2026. Grant recipients are highly concentrated by award count; the top five recipients account for 73% of recent awards, dominated by Colorado State University at 21 awards and $56.9 million federal dollars obligated. By federal dollars, the top five cover only 17% of total funding, with Colorado State again leading, followed distantly by Arizona Department of Game and Fish ($4.4 million) and Texas A&M Agrilife Research ($3 million). All 103 grants are structured as Cooperative Agreements. The grant base comprises 27 distinct recipients across portfolio history. Grant recipients are predominantly academic institutions and state environmental agencies focused on natural-resource and installation-sustainability projects.
