Indefinite Delivery Contract W912HY26DA010

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Southwestern Division, Galveston District, awarded a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) valued at $900 million to establish a flexible, indefinite delivery vehicle for architect and engineering (A-E) services. The contract, awarded December 8, 2025, to LH&J/Arcadis Joint Venture, L.L.P. (a small disadvantaged business based in Metairie, Louisiana), extends through December 7, 2033, and will be funded by the Department of the Army. The MATOC was established under the Brooks Act (40 USC Chapter 11) and Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 36.6, with performance conducted in Galveston, Texas. No set-aside designation was applied to this particular award, though the original solicitation authorized both unrestricted and small business set-aside contract vehicles. The joint venture was selected based on qualifications and experience evaluation rather than competitive bidding, reflecting the Brooks Act's requirement for A-E service procurement through qualification-based selection.

The contract provides comprehensive architect and engineering services supporting USACE's Civil Works mission, including planning, design, and engineering during construction activities for projects within the Southwestern Division's area of responsibility. The scope encompasses flood damage mitigation and risk reduction, shoreline and stream bank erosion protection, environmental and ecosystem habitat restoration, watershed evaluations, geotechnical analysis, surveys, and operations and maintenance rehabilitation. The contractor must provide expertise across multiple engineering disciplines including civil, mechanical, electrical, and structural engineering, with specialized capabilities in seismic design, geotechnical analysis, environmental engineering, corrosion management, and antiterrorism/force protection. An initial delivery order valued at $2,500 was issued on the award date for services in Galveston, Texas, demonstrating activation of the MATOC vehicle for immediate agency requirements.
