FHWA WFLHD Architect Engineering IDIQ 2016-2018

The Federal Highway Administration established this Master IDIQ for Architect and Engineering services supporting the Western Federal Lands Highway Division (WFLHD) on March 22, 2016, with ordering authority that closed on April 3, 2019. The vehicle is no longer active; all 127 awarded task orders have been fully obligated against the $10 million combined ceiling, consuming $27.9 million in combined potential value across all orders.

Work under this vehicle concentrated on construction management and inspection support for highway and infrastructure projects in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Task orders funded pavement preservation and bridge repairs on National Park Service roads (Yellowstone, Glacier, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, and others), emergency forest road repairs, Defense Access Roads projects, and state and local transportation improvements. Individual delivery orders ranged from under $4,000 to $880,000, with most orders in the $100,000–$500,000 band. Services included construction inspection (CI-IV and CI-V levels), construction project engineer (CPE) positions, consultant inspector roles, and administrative assistant support. Nearly all orders were firm-fixed-price agreements that included both construction-period services and post-construction documentation closeout.

Three firms captured the entire awardee base. Rocksol Consulting Group, Inc. and Mackay Sposito, LLC each held approximately $9.8–$9.9 million in potential value across 35 and 49 orders respectively, while Summit CM, Inc. held $8.2 million across 43 orders. Competition was limited; no set-aside designations applied to 84 percent of orders (107 awards), and only 20 small-business orders were issued.

The FHWA's Western Federal Lands Highway Division was the sole customer agency, placing all 127 task orders. Ordering activity peaked in 2019 with 38 awards before the vehicle closed to new orders. The most recent task order award was issued in March 2021, five years ago, representing closeout activity on prior commitments rather than new project starts. Place of performance spanned the Pacific Northwest, Northern Rockies, and Alaska, with subordinate work at individual park and forest sites.
