AFICA A-E 2013 Design & Construction Services (A-E13)

The Air Force Civil Engineer Center established this Master IDIQ for architect-engineering and design-construction services across CONUS and worldwide locations on July 20, 2015, with ordering authority that expired September 25, 2021. The vehicle is no longer active for new task-order placement.

The 1,093 task orders awarded under AFICA A-E 2013 obligate $1.36 billion of the $1.39 billion combined potential value—98 percent of capacity. Order activity peaked between 2018 and 2020 (averaging roughly 172 orders annually), then declined sharply to just 2 orders in 2022, the final year of the ordering period. The most recent task order award occurred August 26, 2022. Work spans five regional subcategories: SRM CONUS East, Central, and West regions; Environmental Programs Worldwide; and MILCON Military Family Housing SRM Worldwide.

Task orders fund a mix of architect-engineering design services (Title I conceptual charettes and full designs), Title II construction oversight and inspection, and environmental remediation and compliance support. Representative recent awards include $21.8 million for optimization and performance monitoring at former Pease Air Force Base, New Hampshire (cost-plus-fixed-fee through December 2026); $17.1 million for remedial investigation and response at former Loring Air Force Base, Maine; $13.4 million for CERCLA remedial investigation at former Mather Air Force Base, California; and smaller studies, five-year reviews, and facility condition assessments across Air Force installations.

Air Force accounts dominate customer concentration: the contracting office itself (Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center Civil Engineer Center) placed 557 orders worth $768.5 million, followed by Air Combat Command (71 orders, $59.7 million), Air Education and Training Command (67 orders, $64.2 million), and Space Command (47 orders, $16.6 million). Defense Logistics Agency Energy brought the second-largest portfolio at 92 orders valued at $92.4 million. These five customers collectively account for 76 percent of awarded task orders.

Competition is moderately concentrated among a broad supplier base of 61 primes. AECOM Technical Services leads by potential value ($127.3 million across 39 orders), followed by Wood Programs Inc. ($83.9 million, 54 orders), Otie-Rs&H JV ($75.8 million, 36 orders), and HDR Environmental, Operations And Construction ($68.9 million, 46 orders). By order count, KZF Design, Wood Programs, URS Group, Blair Remy, and HDR collectively claim 276 of 1,093 orders (25 percent). The top five primes by dollar value control roughly 30 percent of combined potential value, indicating a moderately dispersed competitive environment with no single dominant firm.

Nearly all work (1,006 of 1,093 orders, 92 percent) carries no set-aside designation; the remaining 84 orders are small-business awards, of which most are Total Small Business designations rather than competitive set-asides. Task-order ceilings range from tens of thousands of dollars for design studies and five-year reviews to single-digit millions for design and construction oversight, with cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts typically supporting longer-duration environmental remediation and monitoring efforts.
