DOJ MARO A-E Services 2011-2016

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office established this Master IDIQ for architectural and engineering services in the Mid-Atlantic Region on May 1, 2011, but ordering closed on April 30, 2016—the vehicle is no longer active and new orders cannot be placed against it.

Over its five-year ordering window, the vehicle generated 45 task orders totaling $1.6 million in combined potential value, with all funds obligated. Ordering activity peaked in 2011 and 2012 (12 and 13 orders respectively), declined to 8 orders in 2013, and recovered to 12 orders in 2014 before the window closed. The most recent task order was awarded on August 18, 2014. All task orders were set aside for small business.

Work contracted under the vehicle focused on facilities engineering and design for federal prisons in the region: architectural and engineering design for infrastructure repairs (HVAC upgrades, boiler deficiencies, switchgear replacement, hot water loop systems, fire alarm systems, sprinkler installations); construction oversight and administration; environmental compliance documentation (MS4 program plans, stormwater pollution prevention plans); and ad-hoc technical consulting to answer facility-program questions. Typical task-order values ranged from $1.4 thousand to $202.4 thousand, with most orders in the $10 thousand to $100 thousand range.

The prime contractor base was concentrated among four firms. AME Consulting Engineers PC led by potential value, with $521 thousand across 11 orders. Veetech, PC earned $428 thousand across 9 orders, Gauthier, Alvarado & Assoc., Inc. received $342 thousand across 17 orders, and Mimar Architects & Engineers, Inc. captured $305 thousand across 8 orders. Gauthier held the largest order count but commanded the smallest share of potential value per order.

Customer concentration was extreme: the Bureau of Prisons Central Office funded 43 of 45 orders worth $1.4 million, while the Bureau of Prisons Mid-Atlantic Regional Office placed only 2 orders totaling $156 thousand.

Work was performed at numerous federal detention facilities across the Mid-Atlantic region, including sites in Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, and Tennessee. Because the ordering period expired a decade ago, this vehicle is closed to new business development activity.
