Architect-Engineer Services Contract (Civil) - Design of Miscellaneous Projects USACE Honolulu District AOR

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Honolulu established a Master IDIQ for architect-engineer services (civil design) for miscellaneous projects in the Honolulu District area of responsibility, with an ordering deadline of January 29, 2030, and a combined vehicle ceiling of $190 million. The vehicle is unrestricted; no set-asides are applied.

Ordering authority remains open for approximately three and one-half years. The vehicle was established January 30, 2025 (18 months ago). Ordering momentum has slowed significantly: 17 task orders were awarded in 2025, but only 1 in 2026 (as of March 30, 2026). Of the $17.8 million in combined task-order potential value awarded to date, $17.1 million (96 percent) has been obligated, leaving approximately $172.2 million in remaining ceiling available.

Task orders fund civil engineering design and construction-phase support for military infrastructure repairs, water systems, storage tanks, pipeline replacement, erosion control, and facility rehabilitation. Recent orders include elevated storage tanks at Schofield Barracks ($3.3 million ceiling), water distribution lines and tanks at Fort Shafter ($3.6 million), wells and storage tank at Helemano Military Reservation ($4.1 million), and bridge repair design at Bellows Air Force Station. Places of performance span Hawaii (Oahu, Kwajalein, and other Pacific locations within the Honolulu District AOR).

Eight prime contractors have been awarded task orders. Competition is moderately concentrated: the top four by potential value—Ssfm-Coffman LLC ($4.5 million, 3 orders), HDR Engineering, Inc. ($4.1 million, 2 orders), R.M. Cleansvendornametrait.phptowill Corporation ($3.6 million, 2 orders), and Okahara & Associates, Inc. ($3.2 million, 5 orders)—hold 97 percent of combined potential value. A small long tail of four additional firms holds the remainder. All 18 awarded task orders are from the Army Corps of Engineers Honolulu District (100 percent customer concentration), reflecting the vehicle's regional scope and single-customer structure.

Task orders range from roughly $150 thousand to $4.1 million in ceiling value, with durations typically 12 to 24 months. All pricing is firm-fixed. The originating solicitation contemplated separate $60 million small-business and $90 million unrestricted IDIQs; the actual vehicle structure appears to have consolidated into the single $190 million unrestricted ceiling reflected in the IDIQ documentation.
