Architect and Engineering (AE) Services to Support the USACE South Atlantic Division

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers established this Master IDIQ for architect-engineering services to support the South Atlantic Division, Mobile District's Environmental Quality Program on June 9, 2021, with a shared ceiling of 249 million dollars. The ordering period closed on June 8, 2026, and is no longer active.

The vehicle has issued 78 task orders with a combined potential value of 215.8 million dollars, of which 184.1 million dollars (85%) has been obligated. The ordering pace declined sharply in 2024 and 2025, dropping from 22 orders in 2023 to 7 in 2024 and 1 in 2025, with the most recent award in September 2025. Task orders cover environmental compliance, planning, pollution prevention, restoration and remediation design, permitting support, NEPA compliance, data management, acoustic monitoring, water quality assessments, PFAS investigations, and facility sustainability studies.

Competition is highly concentrated among five firms. AECOM Technical Services, Inc. holds 14 orders worth 97.7 million dollars in combined potential value—roughly 45% of all vehicle activity. MSE Group LLC claims 12 orders valued at 57.3 million dollars. HDR Environmental, Operations and Construction, Inc. and Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. each hold 14 and 13 orders respectively but with significantly smaller values (18.4 million and 7.8 million dollars). These five firms account for roughly 81% of all task orders and 94% of potential value. The remaining five primes are small players by comparison.

Funding is concentrated in military and defense agencies. The Marine Corps accounts for 13 orders valued at 66.8 million dollars. The Army Corps' Mobile District issued 22 orders worth 52.3 million dollars. The Air Force and Air National Guard collectively place substantial orders across environmental surveys, air quality programs, and facility assessments. Work spans domestic and overseas locations including Camp Lejeune, North Carolina; Jacksonville and Cape Canaveral, Florida; bases in Alaska and Honduras; and widely dispersed Air National Guard and Army Reserve installations.

Nearly all task orders (76 of 78) carry no set-aside designation, reflecting the vehicle's unrestricted competitive structure. Only 2 orders used partial small business set-asides. Task order values typically range from under $400,000 to the $8–25 million range for larger multi-year geospatial data management and PFAS remedial investigation programs. Task orders are firm fixed price with 12-month rate negotiation cycles.
