ENDIST Albuquerque

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Albuquerque District, a sub-agency within the Army Corps of Engineers tasked with civil works and military construction in the southwestern United States, has awarded 4,777 federal contracts with combined potential value of $4.31 billion since 1998. The District executes contract work across New Mexico, Texas, and the surrounding region, including facility construction, civil works planning, infrastructure, and real estate leasing to support military installations and water-resource projects.

Contract activity has declined in recent years. The District closed 69 awards in 2022, 60 in 2023, 39 in 2024, 64 in 2025, and 28 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent recorded award is from July 2026. The District has obligated $4.33 billion across the portfolio, representing 100 percent of combined potential value.

Competition is highly fragmented by award count over the last five years. Rymarc Construction Inc. and Altima Construction Inc. lead with 16 awards each (valued at $9.8 million and $4.2 million respectively), followed by three firms with 9 awards each. The top five primes collectively hold only 22 percent of recent awards. By potential value over the same window, QA Engineering LLC leads with $58.6 million across eight awards, but the top five account for only 3 percent of combined potential value, indicating highly fragmented spending across 1,248 distinct prime contractors lifetime. Recent awards frequently transact through purchase orders and modifications with unreported dollar fields, masking full value concentration.

Set-asides heavily favor the 8(a) program. Sole-source 8(a) awards comprise 42 percent of the portfolio (1,998 awards), while 38 percent carry no set-aside (1,812 awards). Competitive 8(a) accounts for 1 percent. Small-business set-asides other than 8(a) total 18 percent, with HUBZone, woman-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned categories each representing negligible shares (15, 3, and 7 awards respectively).

The District also administers grant funding through cooperative agreements. It has awarded 13 grants totaling $6.4 million in federal dollars obligated (with $7.5 million in combined federal and non-federal share) since September 2020. Pueblo of Isleta, Pueblo of Acoma, and Pueblo of Santa Ana dominate, collectively holding 80 percent of recent awards by count and 71 percent by federal dollars. All grant funding consists of Cooperative Agreements. The most recent grant award closed in April 2026.

Recent contract opportunities span construction, real estate, and architecture-engineer services. A design-bid-build pre-solicitation for the Space Rapids Capabilities Office at Kirtland Air Force Base (W912PP27RA003) has a due date of November 5, 2026, with estimated capacity not yet disclosed. An IDIQ multiple-award task-order contract for civil-works planning studies and A-E services (W912PP25RA009) carries estimated capacity of $49.9 million and a due date of November 13, 2026. Multiple real-estate pre-solicitations for hangar and office leasing in Edinburg and Alpine, Texas closed in mid-September 2026, and a small-business solicitation for buoy-boat equipment at Conchas Dam closed in early September 2026.
