Eielson AFB Repairs to Utilidors and Related Systems

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Alaska awarded this master IDIQ on March 20, 2019, for design, construction, and repairs to utilidors and related systems at Eielson Air Force Base, various military installations, and other locations primarily in Alaska, with a combined shared ceiling of $200 million; ordering closed on March 19, 2024, and the vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders.

This vehicle is not active for new pursuit. The ordering period ended over two years ago; the contract has transitioned to closeout of existing task orders. Of the $200 million combined capacity, only $71.6 million has been obligated across six task orders, with the most recent award issued in September 2023. Ordering momentum has declined since the vehicle's closure: six orders were placed between 2019 and 2023 at a rate of roughly one per year, with the final two orders clustered in 2023. Five awardees were selected at vehicle establishment — American Mechanical, Inc.; Brice Civil Constructors, Inc.; Central Environmental, Inc.; Derian / OCC, JV; and Patrick Mechanical, LLC.

Awarded work spans utilidor repairs and construction, transformer replacement, lift-station retrofits, fire protection systems, and water-tank repairs, with task orders ranging from roughly $1.3 million to $35 million. All six task orders are firm fixed price. Work is concentrated in Alaska, including Cape Lisburne, Black Rapids Training Site, and Eielson AFB.

Competition is highly concentrated among three firms. Derian / OCC (the joint venture) holds two orders worth $42.1 million combined potential value, Brice Civil Constructors holds two orders worth $23.3 million, and Patrick Mechanical holds two orders worth $6.2 million. All awarded task orders fund the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Alaska. Set-aside designation is mixed: four orders carry no set-aside, and two are total small business set-aside. Two awardees on the original vehicle list (American Mechanical and Central Environmental) have not yet been awarded task orders visible in the portfolio.

Given the vehicle's closed ordering status, pursuit is limited to subcontracting or backfill opportunities under existing awardees or position-building with primes for future Army Corps Alaska utilidor or infrastructure vehicles.
