Indefinite Delivery Contract W912HY26DA003

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Southwestern Division, Galveston District awarded a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for architect and engineering services to 5E-Lan JV on December 8, 2025, with a performance period extending through December 7, 2033. This indefinite delivery contract, established under 40 United States Code Chapter 11 (the Brooks Act) and Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 36.6, carries a ceiling value of $900,000,000 across the entire MATOC vehicle and was issued without a set-aside designation. The contract supports planning, engineering, and engineering during construction activities for USACE's Civil Works mission within the Galveston District boundary, with potential application to Military and Interagency and International Support missions across the Southwestern Division's area of responsibility. Services will be performed in Galveston, Texas, with funding provided by the Department of the Army (Defense agency). The solicitation, originally posted on February 27, 2023, with a submission deadline of July 12, 2023, targeted qualified firms in the Engineering Services category (NAICS 541330) with the potential for up to twelve awards—six unrestricted indefinite delivery contracts and six contracts reserved for small businesses—though USACE retained the discretion to award more or fewer contracts based on qualified firm identification through Brooks Act procedures.

The contracted scope encompasses comprehensive architect and engineering services including project planning, design phase support, and engineering during construction oversight and administration for infrastructure projects and facility planning initiatives throughout the Southwestern Division's jurisdiction. USACE established this vehicle to provide on-call engineering and architectural support for its Civil Works portfolio, enabling flexible task order issuance to address infrastructure development and facility planning needs. The firm fixed price delivery order issued to 5E-Lan JV on the same award date carries a ceiling value of $2,500, representing the initial task order against the $900 million MATOC contract. Selection of architect and engineering firms under this vehicle was conducted through qualifications-based procedures consistent with the Brooks Act, rather than competitive bidding, with prospective contractors required to designate their submission category as either unrestricted or small business upon proposal submission.
