About this agency
The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering and Support Center, a sub-agency within the Department of Defense, acquires engineering, environmental remediation, facilities management, and related support services for Army installations and water-resource projects nationwide and overseas. The Center procures primarily through competitive and set-aside contracts and funds environmental and community development initiatives via cooperative agreements.
The Center has awarded 999 federal contracts since 1999 with combined potential value of $12.06 billion and $6.48 billion obligated. Recent contract volume increased substantially: 67 awards in 2023, 128 in 2024, 333 in 2025, and 210 in 2026, with 1 award recorded as of the most recent award date in January 2027. The Center has awarded 327 distinct prime contractors over the life of the portfolio. Competitive concentration among primes is fragmented over the last five years: Johnson Controls Building Automation Systems, LLC leads by award count with 44 awards worth $711.7 million combined potential value; J & J Maintenance Inc. follows by value with 17 awards worth $558.7 million; and Weston Solutions Inc., M.c. Dean, Inc., and Nika Technologies Inc. round out the top five by potential value. The top five by count hold 16 percent of recent awards; the top five by value hold 17 percent of combined potential value over the same window.
Seventy percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides (total small business, 8(a) sole source, and competitive 8(a)) comprise 27 percent of awards. Service-disabled veteran-owned small business and woman-owned small business awards each account for less than one percent and are rare.
The Center has awarded 67 federal grants with combined federal dollars obligated of $623.7 million. Grant activity was sparse through 2024 but surged in 2026 with 48 awards. All grants are cooperative agreements. Recipient concentration is fragmented over the last five years: Point Stratford Renewal LLC and Grayling Township each hold 2 awards and lead the top five by federal dollars obligated with $83.6 million and $51.4 million respectively. The top five recipients by count hold 16 percent of recent awards; by federal dollars the top five hold 23 percent of the total. Most recipients are state environmental agencies or nonprofit remediation entities.
