Central America Design-Build and Construction

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Mobile established this Master IDIQ for construction services with incidental design capabilities in Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama on July 26, 2011, with a shared ceiling of $50 million and a last date to order of July 25, 2016 — this vehicle is no longer active and ordering closed nine years ago.

The vehicle is fully obligated. All 52 task orders totaling $44.2 million in combined potential value have been awarded and are obligated; no funds remain available for new orders. Ordering activity concentrated heavily in the first two years of the vehicle's life, with 28 orders awarded in 2011 and 22 in 2012; only 2 orders were placed in 2013, and no awards followed the May 2013 final order. The last order opportunity expired in mid-2016.

Scope spans military construction and infrastructure work across seven Central American countries, including barracks and dormitory renovation, airfield improvements (taxiways, landing zones, drop-arm barriers), water and wastewater treatment upgrades, pier and fueling facilities, security improvements (guard towers, perimeter fencing, checkpoint facilities), and disaster relief warehouses. All orders use firm fixed-price contracts with performance periods ranging from approximately six months to two years.

Two contractors dominate the vehicle by combined potential value: Bonatti Ingenieros Y Arquitectos Sociedad Anonima ($14.5 million across 13 orders) and Empresa De Construccion Y Transporte Eterna S.A. De C.V. ($13.9 million across 20 orders). These two firms capture roughly 65% of potential value. Estudios Edificaciones E Interventorias En Ingenieria Eeii S A S holds $8.4 million across 7 orders. The remaining three contractors and small business segment collectively account for $7.6 million.

Customer demand clustered within Army organizations. Department of the Army Southern Command placed the largest share by order count (16 orders, $15.5 million potential value), followed by the general Department of the Army (11 orders, $12.8 million). The Corps of Engineers Engineering District Mobile itself ordered $4.9 million across 7 delivery orders. Army Cyber Command and Corps of Engineers Headquarters Military Programs together account for $5.3 million. All task orders are unrestricted (no set-aside designations).

Typical individual order values range from approximately $100,000 to $3.2 million, with the largest single order being $3.2 million for barracks, command and control, dining, vehicle maintenance, and latrines at Santa Ana de Berlin, Guatemala. Most work centered on military installations in Honduras, particularly Soto Cano Air Base, which appears across dozens of orders for runway, barrier, security, utility, and barracks work.
