AE Services to Support the Environmental Restoration Program - HTRW

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Mobile established a Master IDIQ on March 31, 2023 to procure architect-engineer services for environmental restoration, hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste (HTRW) remediation, strategy development, regulatory support, and related studies across military and Federal installations within and beyond the Mobile District's area of responsibility. Ordering authority extends through March 31, 2028 — approximately 20 months of remaining procurement window. The vehicle carries a $99 million shared ceiling and is unrestricted; the originating 2020 sources-sought synopsis targeted small business, but all 25 task orders awarded to date carry no set-aside designation, indicating competitive eligibility.

Activity is moderating but remains steady. The vehicle issued 16 task orders in 2023 and 9 in 2024; the most recent award occurred in December 2024. Of the $46.9 million combined potential value across all task orders, $35.3 million (75 percent) has been obligated, leaving meaningful capacity for additional orders before the March 2028 cutoff.

AECOM Technical Services leads by potential value with four orders totaling $20.4 million, but wins are distributed across 11 distinct primes. HDR Environmental, Operations and Construction holds the most awards (seven orders, $6.2 million combined value), followed by Leidos (three orders, $7.2 million) and Aptim Geosyntec JV (two orders, $8.7 million). The top four primes capture 72 percent of task-order count and 96 percent of combined potential value.

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Mobile funds 68 percent of orders by count ($21.9 million of $46.9 million total potential value). Broader Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force programs account for the remainder. Recent awards include multi-year corrective measures at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama ($8.7 million ceiling); geospatial data management for Marine Corps installations ($19 million ceiling); environmental restoration at Alabama Army Ammunition Plant ($6.1 million); and sustainment support at Fort Jackson, South Carolina and Defense Depot Memphis, Tennessee. Task-order durations extend two to five years; firm fixed-price pricing dominates. All work is performed at assigned military and Federal installations, with recent activity concentrated at bases in Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Puerto Rico.

The services are intended to provide a full range of comprehensive support environmental services focused on complex Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) projects to include strategy development, plans, data gathering, analysis, evaluations, studies, designs, remedial design, and regulatory support specific to the Environmental Restoration Program. Support is provided in compliance with DoD instruction, policy and guidance, as well as State, Federal and local criteria, and requires multiple contracting resources to provide Environmental Restoration support for its diverse range of stakeholders to include the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, Defense Logistics Agency, National Guard, Environmental Protection Agency, General Services Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture, other Department of Defense (DoD) components, Department of Homeland Security, National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, General Services Administration, and others. These environmental services will be provided at various military, Federal, and other installations within the Mobile District's Area of Responsibility (AOR) including civil, military and Federal installations, property formerly known by DoD, EPA superfund sites, and/or other locations that may be assigned to the Mobile District.
