Air Force Regional Engineering and Construction - East 2016-2024

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center Civil Engineer Center established this Master IDIQ for regional engineering and construction services in the eastern United States, with ordering closed as of December 6, 2024. The vehicle is no longer active for new task-order placement; the last order was awarded on October 21, 2024, nearly two years ago.

The vehicle operated for nearly eight years under a $2.5 billion shared ceiling. Seventy-four task orders were awarded, with obligated amounts reaching $439.8 million against a combined task-order potential value of $461 million—95 percent of the vehicle's utilization. Annual ordering remained steady over the final five years (ranging from 7 to 9 orders per year), reflecting consistent demand through the ordering period closure.

Awarded work spans fuel-tank repairs and maintenance across Air Force bases, hangar and building renovation and repair, water-utility infrastructure installation, Advanced Meter Reading System (AMRS) projects, runway and facility demolition, HVAC and heating-system repair, and design-build construction services. Recent task orders show firm fixed-price contracting, with individual order values ranging from under $2 million to a $50.9 million runway-repair order at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. One notable mega-order, the Cape Canaveral runway-touchdowns-and-turnarounds project (FA890317D0032-FA890324F0023), obligated $50.9 million in December 2023. Typical performance durations ranged from under one year to three years, with some projects extending longer.

CMS Corporation held the strongest competitive position by dollar value, with 18 orders totaling $144.2 million in combined potential value. Herman / JCG Co JV followed with 10 orders valued at $105.4 million, and Mowa-Barrovento Joint Venture A with 8 orders at $78.5 million. Bhate Environmental Associates, Inc. led by order count with 20 awards but lower combined value at $63.4 million. The top five primes captured 91 percent of combined potential value; 12 distinct primes shared the remaining workload.

Air Force Civil Engineer Center, the contracting office itself, was the dominant customer, placing 25 orders valued at $236.5 million. Defense Logistics Agency Energy funded 16 orders worth $69.3 million, and Air Force Air Education and Training Command placed 15 orders at $60.3 million. These three customers funded 69 percent of awarded task orders.

Set-aside activity split unevenly: 42 orders (57 percent) carried no set-aside designation, while 32 orders (43 percent) were designated for total small business. Among recent awards, small-business set-aside predominated, reflecting the vehicle's support for small contractor participation in base-infrastructure maintenance and repair work.
