About this vehicle

The U.S. Air Force awarded this Master IDIQ for architect-engineer services supporting worldwide design and construction programs on February 17, 2021, with a shared ceiling of $2 billion and ordering authority ending January 31, 2022—well past the current date, so new task orders may no longer be placed against this vehicle.

The vehicle supplies Title I and Title II design services, code and criteria reviews, and other A-E support for Military Construction (MILCON), Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization (SRM), and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) programs across the Air Force, Army, Navy, and other customer agencies. Work spans four geographic and functional pools covering facilities, airfield infrastructure, and general infrastructure, with place of performance including U.S. installations, overseas locations including UK bases (RAF Lakenheath, RAF Molesworth) and Japan (Misawa), and international sites (Argentina, Italy).

Since award, 558 task orders have been issued through April 2026, with combined potential value of $701.2 million and $599 million obligated (85% of potential). Order velocity has declined from 144 awards in 2022 to 22 in 2026 year-to-date, reflecting the closed ordering window. Five primes—AECOM Technical Services Inc., Acacia7, Jacobs Government Services Company, Raymond Pond Full Service Solutions JV LLC, and Pond-Cdm Smith JV LP—account for 37 percent of awards by count; HDR Environmental Operations and Construction and Pond-Cdm Smith by potential value lead the field at $93.6 million and $88 million respectively. Competition remains fragmented across 25 distinct prime contractors.

Air Force organizations dominate demand: Air National Guard (104 orders, $92.9 million), Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center Civil Engineer Center (78 orders, $103.1 million), Space Command (70 orders, $26.1 million), and Pacific Air Forces (49 orders, $122.7 million) represent 61 percent of task orders. The vehicle is 93 percent unrestricted competition, with 7 percent small-business set-asides. Task orders range from under $100,000 for code reviews and inspections to $14.8 million for multi-installation support work, with typical durations running 12 to 36 months. Recent awards include $8.3 million for F-16 design at an Argentine air base and multi-year program support contracts exceeding $4 million.

Description

Support the worldwide design and construction mission, to include US installations supported by the Air Force, Army, Navy, and others. These Architect-Engineer Services will provide for Title I, Title II, and Other A-E Services supporting Military Construction (MILCON), Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization (SRM), and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) programs
