FHWA Central Federal Lands Highway Division Full Service Architect

The Federal Highway Administration established this Master IDIQ on April 17, 2025, for full-service architect-engineer design services in support of the Federal Lands Highway Division's transportation projects across the American West. Ordering authority extends through June 18, 2030, providing nearly four years of remaining procurement window. The vehicle carries a $60 million shared ceiling and operates on unrestricted competition with no set-aside designations.

The vehicle funds low-volume and low-speed roadway improvements, bridges, multi-use trails, and parking lots across federal land management agency properties in thirteen western states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming). Work emphasizes context-sensitive design in environmentally sensitive areas and spans the full design lifecycle from planning and scoping through final construction documents, with projects typically funded through the Federal Lands Transportation Program and Federal Lands Access Program under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

The vehicle has awarded 31 task orders totaling $7.9 million in combined potential value, with all funds obligated. Ordering momentum has moderated from 19 orders in 2025 to 12 orders in 2026, reflecting natural project cycle variation. The most recent order, issued July 13, 2026, was for visitor survey data collection at Yosemite National Park valued at $128,490. Other recent awards include environmental and design services for the Berryessa-Knoxville Road in California ($959,977), an innovative finance strategy study for Federal Land Management Agencies ($960,490), and preliminary design for the Red Rock Trail in Nevada ($599,888).

Competition concentrates among four primes. DJ&A, P.C. holds the largest share by potential value at $4.4 million across 13 orders, while Atkinsrealis USA Inc. leads by order count with 16 awards totaling $3.1 million combined value. RS&H, Inc. and Rocksol Consulting Group, Inc. hold single awards each. All task orders are awarded to the same customer—the Federal Highway Administration itself—with no cross-agency funding evident. Pricing is exclusively firm fixed price, and delivery dates cluster between mid-2026 and mid-2027 for current work.
