The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) awarded a $216,840 firm fixed price purchase order to Saeed & Associates Consultants Inc. (doing business as Saeed Consultants) on June 25, 2025, under Broad Agency Announcement 24-0030 for "Framework for Assessment of Inefficiencies in Pavement Materials and Construction." The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, will be performed in Frisco, Texas and is scheduled for completion by December 26, 2026. Saeed Consultants is a certified Small Disadvantaged Business and Minority-Owned Business, structured as a Subchapter S Corporation, with a demonstrated track record of performing research and development work for ERDC.
This award follows the solicitation's emphasis on fundamental and applied research across multiple engineering and scientific disciplines critical to Department of Defense operations. The BAA 24-0030 solicitation, which opened on December 31, 2024, encourages participation from small businesses and disadvantaged business concerns, with submissions evaluated on scientific merit, mission contributions, offeror capabilities, personnel qualifications, cost reasonableness, and past performance. Saeed Consultants' previous ERDC contract experience—including a $244,667 award in 2023 for life cycle assessment of asphalt pavements and carbon dioxide reduction—positions the firm well for delivering technical expertise in pavement materials assessment and construction efficiency analysis.
