Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers National Capitol Region Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity (USACE HQUSACE), a sub-agency of the Department of Defense, is the administrative and mission-support arm for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, procuring and funding analytical, professional, facilities, and training services to sustain USACE civil-works operations and headquarters functions across the National Capitol Region.

USACE HQUSACE has awarded 7,612 federal contracts worth $4.67 billion combined potential value since 2000, with $4.08 billion (88%) obligated to date. Contract volume has declined modestly: 267 awards in 2022, 278 in 2023, 227 in 2024, 213 in 2025, and 87 year-to-date in 2026. The contracting base is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, Summit Point Raceway Associates, Inc. leads by award count with 72 awards and $4.3 million in combined potential value, followed by Bloom Government Services LLC (27 awards, $3.6 million) and Kira Aviation Services LLC (23 awards, $7 million). By potential value, Noblis, Inc. ranks first with 7 awards worth $59.1 million, and Tripoint Solutions, LLC holds 11 awards valued at $34.1 million. The top five primes cover only 15% of recent awards by count and 3% by combined potential value, reflecting heavy use of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, and below-threshold purchase orders across a diverse vendor base of 2,095 distinct prime contractors. Small-business set-asides account for approximately 11% of awards; 8(a) sole-source and competitive designations together comprise 8% of awards. The remaining 80% of awards carry no set-aside.

USACE HQUSACE also administers 196 federal grant awards totaling $320.4 million in federal obligation (combined total with non-federal share: $344.5 million) since 2016. All grants are structured as Cooperative Agreements. Recent grant volume shows variability: 44 awards in 2018, 37 in 2020, 51 in 2022, 52 in 2024, and 6 so far in 2026. Grant recipients are moderately concentrated: the State of California Department of Toxic Substances Control leads by both award count and dollars, holding 3 awards worth $80.1 million federal obligation. The top five recipients by federal dollars obligated cover 35% of combined federal dollars, while the top five by award count cover 14% of recent awards. State-level environmental and resource-management agencies dominate the recipient base—the State of California, Alabama Department of Environmental Management, Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, and the Maryland Department of the Environment each hold multiple awards in the portfolio.

Recent contract solicitations span facilities infrastructure, professional services, and specialized equipment.

A 100% small-business-set-aside solicitation for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (W912HQ26S0080, closed 23 September 2026) sought five Skydio X10 systems and ancillary equipment. Multiple small-business-set-aside solicitations posted in September 2026 address facilities maintenance: locker-room renovation, asphalt and concrete paving, electrical studies, flooring installation, fire alarm upgrades, and signage. Special Notices of Intent to Sole Source (posted 1–15 September 2026) cover organizational memberships with the International Network for Storm Surge Barriers, the Construction Management Association of America, and the National Hydropower Association, as well as a Facilities and Equipment Maintenance System Analyst contract anticipated for Battelle Memorial Institute.
