The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Merrick & Company, an employee-owned engineering and architecture firm, for Southeast Regional Architect and Engineering (SERAE) services. The $300 million multiple award contract has a period of performance through September 2026 and allows NASA to issue task orders for facility modernization, construction management, and other technical services at NASA centers in the Southeast U.S. region. Merrick & Company, as a self-certified HUBZone joint venture, has provided architect-engineer services for various federal agencies including the Departments of Agriculture, Air Force, Army, and Homeland Security. Under this IDC, Merrick & Company has been awarded delivery orders for design work on the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center, as well as studies and assessments for facility upgrades supporting the Space Launch System and Mars Sample Return programs at Kennedy and Johnson Space Centers. The contract does not utilize any small business set-asides.
The original solicitation for the SERAE IDC was issued by NASA Kennedy Space Center in October 2020, seeking proposals from firms with experience in program management, facility design, construction management, and operations support services for NASA centers. The contract aims to provide a flexible, multiple-award vehicle for NASA to efficiently procure architect-engineer services across its facilities in the Southeast region, with an anticipated contract ceiling of $300 million per awardee over the 5-year ordering period. The solicitation did not include any small business or socioeconomic set-asides, and was open to for-profit firms that could demonstrate the required qualifications and past performance.
