AE Malmstrom AFB

Air Force Space Command awarded this Master IDIQ on September 28, 2023, for architectural and engineering services at Malmstrom AFB, Montana, with ordering authority extending through September 27, 2030. The vehicle carries a $90 million shared ceiling and was established as a multiple-award contract with an estimated eight firms; twenty-five percent was reserved as a partial small business set-aside in the originating solicitation, though no task orders have used set-aside designations to date.

Thirty-five task orders have been awarded across the vehicle's lifecycle, with ordering momentum concentrated in 2024 (16 awards) and 2025 (10 awards); only one order has been placed in 2026. The combined potential value of all task orders stands at $8.9 million, of which $8.1 million (91 percent) has been obligated. Task-order values range from five hundred dollars to $2.4 million, with typical design and engineering efforts falling between roughly $70 thousand and $350 thousand. All orders are firm-fixed-price and carry ultimate completion dates between mid-2024 and mid-2027.

Work spans Type A (investigative and analysis) and Type B (design) services across mechanical, electrical, civil, structural, architectural, fire protection, and environmental disciplines. Recent orders address facility repairs (roof, HVAC, fire suppression systems, water tanks), new construction (composite maintenance facility, LOX covered storage), infrastructure studies (power distribution, traffic patterns), and planning efforts (master planning for transportation management, environmental assessments). Performance is concentrated at Malmstrom AFB with subordinate work at missile fields and Montana Air National Guard facilities.

Page Imeg Joint Venture, LLC dominates by potential value with $3.8 million across four orders; CDM Federal Programs Corporation holds $2 million across four orders. Thomas Dean & Hoskins Inc. leads by order count with ten awards totaling $939 thousand. Collectively, the top five primes by potential value account for roughly 90 percent of the vehicle's value. Activity is heavily skewed toward Department of the Air Force Space Command (27 orders, $6.6 million), with smaller contributions from Air National Guard (5 orders, $1.8 million) and Global Strike Command (2 orders). The long tail of distinct primes (eight awarded) and customers (four agencies) reflects a relatively narrow, focused base.

This IDIQ covers design, engineering, and construction-related services across various technical disciplines including mechanical, electrical, civil, structural, architectural, fire protection, and environmental work
