FHWA Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division Highway, Road, and Bridge Construction 2025 - 2028

The Federal Highway Administration's Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division established a Master IDIQ under the Mid-Atlantic Region Construction Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) program on November 13, 2025, for highway, road, and bridge construction services. The vehicle carries a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business concerns. Ordering authority runs through November 12, 2030, with 4 years and 3 months of procurement window remaining. The shared ceiling across all awarded primes is $60 million.

Three task orders have been awarded to date since the vehicle's establishment, totaling $7.3 million in combined potential value with 100 percent of that amount obligated. Awards are trending modestly: one order in 2025, two orders in 2026. The vehicle is operating at roughly 12 percent utilization of its ceiling, suggesting substantial remaining capacity for growth.

Scope includes gravel and natural surface roadway and trail rehabilitation, asphalt and Portland cement concrete pavement construction, milling, pavement markings, embankment construction and repairs, debris removal, culvert and pipe repairs or replacement, riprap placement, sign installation, mechanically stabilized earth wall construction, bridge and structure repairs including joint and concrete deck work, abutment and pier repairs or replacements, and smaller bridge replacements. Design services and design-build delivery are in scope as individual task orders may include them.

Competition is concentrated among two small business primes. Bluegrass Contracting Corp holds the stronger position with 2 awards and $4.9 million combined potential value; Terra Site Constructors LLC holds 1 award and $2.4 million. The set-aside mix shows two-thirds of awarded orders designated Total Small Business and one-third unrestricted. All customer demand to date originates from FHWA. Geographic scope spans Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia; recent orders address specific projects in West Virginia (slide repairs on Glade Creek Road), the District of Columbia (mill and overlay work on multiple streets and memorials), and Maryland (tunnel repairs in the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park). Individual task-order values have ranged from approximately $2.1 million to $2.4 million to date, within the solicitation's stated $50,000 to $3 million per-order envelope.
