Access Control Point Design-Build

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville established this Master IDIQ for worldwide access control point design-build and construction on October 7, 2013, with a combined ceiling of $80 million and an ordering deadline of October 6, 2018. Ordering is now closed; the vehicle is no longer active for new task order awards.

The vehicle is effectively exhausted. Through April 2019, 46 task orders obligated $70.5 million of the $71.6 million combined potential value—98 percent of available ceiling. The final order was awarded over seven years ago. No new task orders have been issued since 2019.

Work covers the full spectrum of ACP requirements: design-build and construction from completed designs, infrastructure and equipment upgrades, roadway and traffic island construction, guard booth and canopy installation, search area and visitor control center construction, passive barriers, active vehicle barriers, closed-circuit television, and electronic security systems. Task orders reflect that scope: Fort Hood AIE3 infrastructure, Fort Belvoir North Post ACP, Fort Jackson vehicle barriers, Fort Meade Mapes Road ACP, Fort Polk improvements, and handheld AIE installation across multiple installations.

Three primes captured the majority of the work. Perimeter Security Partners, LP led with 26 orders totaling $23.7 million combined potential value. Akima Construction Services LLC and Zieson Construction Company, LLC each held roughly $18 million in potential value across two to five orders. North Wind NEU Security Services, LLC, Ma-Chis Kawv Iii, LLC, and two smaller firms rounded out the base.

Eighty-seven percent of awarded task orders carried no set-aside, with the remainder competitive 8(a). The Engineering Support Center Huntsville itself placed 23 orders; the Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore placed four orders valued at $40.3 million, and Army Headquarters placed 14 orders. Typical task order values ranged from small modifications around $30,000 to major design-builds exceeding $15 million, with most construction work in the $500,000 to $3 million range and firm-fixed-price pricing throughout. Place of performance was broadly distributed across U.S. Army installations domestically.

This requirement is to provide worldwide design-build and construction capabilities for access control point (ACP) construction and equipment installation. The functions to be provided include a range of efforts to include entire ACP design and construction, ACP construction from completed designs, and specific ACP infrastructure or equipment upgrades. The U.S. Army engineering and support center, huntsville (CEHNC) has been tasked by the department of the army to plan and manage the ACP program. The ACP program was established to support U.S. Army agencies and other federal agencies with ACP repair, renovation, conversion, alteration, addition, construction, equipment procurement/installation, and maintenance requirements. ACP work includes, but is not limited to, roadway and traffic island construction; lighting and guard booth installation; canopy, passive barrier, gatehouse, search area and visitor control center construction; and active vehicle barrier, closed circuit television, and electronic security systems installation.
