2/17/17 1/5/27 AECOM Services, LLC
AECOM Services, LLC, a subsidiary of global infrastructure consulting firm AECOM headquartered in Dallas, Texas, operates as a prime contractor providing architect-engineer and construction management services to federal defense and civilian agencies, competing full-and-open without small business set-asides. The company holds a $1.62 billion combined potential value prime portfolio across 206 federal awards, with 8 percent of that value obligated, reflecting its positioning as a large established federal contractor delivering multi-discipline architectural and engineering services across military installations, infrastructure projects, and facility modernization initiatives worldwide.
AECOM Services, LLC's concrete capability footprint centers on facility design, infrastructure engineering, construction management, and technical consulting for military bases and federal installations. Representative work includes a $200 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Far East District (awarded December 2022, ultimate completion June 2028) for architect-engineer services supporting U.S. military operations in South Korea under the Status of Forces Agreement program, encompassing general design, cost estimating, construction management, and civil works project delivery with individual task orders ranging from $10,000 to $10 million. AECOM Services holds a $30 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command single-award IDIQ (awarded September 2021, completion September 2026) covering small construction and renovation projects across Navy installations in the mid-Atlantic region, from which 28 delivery orders totaling $39.8 million have been issued for child development center construction, housing repairs, building renovations, HVAC replacements, and facility assessments. The company also maintains a $20 million Air Force Academy indefinite delivery contract (awarded September 2022, completion September 2027) for planning and conceptual design architect-engineer services supporting campus infrastructure, master planning, and facility modernization, with 13 delivery orders totaling $6.32 million through September 2025. Recent named delivery orders include a $2.854 million survey of utility infrastructure at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Base, Colorado; a $9.6 million design-bid-build charrette document preparation for a Naval Facilities Engineering Command project; a $1.57 million Building X-380 renovation at a Norfolk naval installation; and a $895,098 conference room upgrade at United States Forces Korea headquarters in South Korea.
Customer concentration sits heavily with defense agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 75 percent of awards and are led by the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (100 awards, $71.8 million combined potential value), the Department of the Air Force Space Command (17 awards, $13.1 million), the Air Force Academy (16 awards, $56.9 million), the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (13 awards, $92.5 million), and the Army Corps of Engineers Far East District (8 awards, $203.5 million). The dollar rankings diverge notably: the Science and Technology Directorate anchors the portfolio at $575 million through a single award, followed by Army Corps of Engineers commands at $263.5 million and $259.2 million respectively. Coast Guard volume masks a smaller dollar share relative to the engineering district concentration, signaling a mix of large program vehicles with smaller operational task orders. AECOM Services reaches 31 distinct customer agencies, demonstrating broad federal reach across military branches, civilian engineering missions, and interagency partnerships.
Vehicle position across the top five parent IDIQs shows concentrated task order utilization. The Coast Guard Indefinite Delivery Contract HSCG8308D3WF068 carries 101 task orders valued at $23.1 million combined. Air Force Academy contract FA700022D0011 holds 25 task orders at $15.6 million combined. Naval Facilities Engineering Command contract N4008521D0091 supports 19 task orders valued at $34.1 million. The Architect Engineering Services Korea 2022-2028 IDIQ under Army Corps of Engineers Far East carries 10 task orders at $6.2 million. These vehicles anchor AECOM Services' ability to compete on rapid task order issuance across military facility and infrastructure programs.
Activity trajectory shows growth momentum through 2024, with awards rising from 7 in 2022 to 28 in 2024, then moderating to 22 in 2025 and 4 year-to-date through April 2026. The recompete cliff exposes material exposure: 31 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $53.1 million, representing critical contract renewal opportunities and competitive risk across Air Force Academy, Navy facilities, Army Corps of Engineers, and coast guard vehicles. The company's primary NAICS concentration is 541330 (Engineering Services) with 167 awards, alongside 541310 (Architectural Services) with 30 awards, grounding the portfolio in design and engineering delivery rather than construction or program management.
AECOM Services maintains active subcontracting relationships on delivery orders. Named sub-partners include J. UNO & Associates, Inc. (Hawaii-based minority-owned small business providing cost estimating on Korea-based projects), Calibre Engineering Inc. (civil design), Johan Kemp Estimating Services Inc. (strategic planning and estimating), Schendt Engineering Corporation, Inc. (mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and process piping design at Air Force Space Command facilities), Salas O'Brien, Inc. (electrical design), Strategic Value Solutions, Inc. (women-owned small business cost estimating), Raven Geomatics, LLC (HUBZone-certified geospatial land surveying and mapping), and Muxlow Surveying Services LLC (8(a) and HUBZone certified survey services). This sub posture reflects AECOM Services' prime-leadership model with specialized domain expertise sourced through small business partnerships. The company does not subcontract as a secondary contractor; all 206 awards are prime positions.
Corporate structure positions AECOM Services as a wholly owned subsidiary of AECOM parent. The parent entity also holds URS Group, Inc. as a named subsidiary, extending the corporate architecture for specialized service delivery. AECOM's broader federal footprint encompasses grants and other award vehicles the subsidiary does not independently hold, positioning AECOM Services as the operational prime for architecture and engineering delivery within the parent's federal business portfolio.
