BOP NCRO Architect and Engineering Services 2013-2016

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons North Central Regional Office established this Master IDIQ for architect and engineering services to the North Central Region on November 4, 2013, with a shared ceiling of $5 million. The vehicle closed to new orders on November 3, 2018, and is no longer accepting task orders. All 22 awarded task orders have been completed; the portfolio obligated $4.5 million of the combined potential value, representing 100 percent utilization of the vehicle's capacity.

The vehicle contracted design, engineering, and construction-administration services for BOP facility improvements across the North Central Region, including fire alarm systems, electrical upgrades, water distribution piping replacement, groundwater monitoring, boiler demolition, underground fuel tank replacement, masonry restoration, and medical facility design work. Task orders funded work at facilities including USP Leavenworth, FCI Englewood, FCC Florence, FCC Terre Haute, MCC Chicago, USMCFP Springfield, AUSP Thomson, and FPC Yankton.

Competition was limited. George Butler Associates Inc. received 18 orders totaling $1.8 million in combined potential value, while SFS Architecture Inc. received 4 orders totaling $2.7 million. All task orders were awarded unrestricted, without set-aside designation. The single customer was the awarding Bureau of Prisons North Central Regional Office, which placed all 22 orders.

Task-order values ranged from $15,600 to $1.3 million, with firm fixed-price pricing. The two largest orders were to SFS Architecture Inc.: one for $1.3 million covering design for AUSP Thomson shop and camp (awarded April 3, 2017), and another for $1.2 million covering BOP improvements at AUSP Thomson (awarded July 8, 2015). Ordering activity peaked in 2017 with five task orders, declining to two per year in 2018 and 2019. The most recent award occurred March 21, 2019, nearly seven years ago, and the vehicle's ordering period expired in November 2018.
