FWS Region 5 Architect-Engineering 2017-2022

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 awarded a Master IDIQ for architect-engineering and environmental engineering services across twelve Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states on June 22, 2017, with ordering closed on June 21, 2022. This vehicle is no longer active; no new task orders may be placed.

The IDIQ contracted civil and environmental design, construction administration, construction inspection, value engineering, and energy conservation services at national wildlife refuges and fish hatcheries. Task orders averaged firm-fixed-price design and inspection work on facility rehabilitation, water system upgrades, HVAC systems, building modifications, and trail construction—typical assignments of $25 thousand to $465 thousand with durations of six to eighteen months.

Thirty-three task orders were awarded totaling $3.5 million in combined potential value, of which $3.3 million (94 percent) is obligated. Oak Point Associates, Beardsley Design Associates Architecture, Engineering, Landscape Architecture, D.p.c., and Dubois & King Inc. led by order count and potential value combined—together capturing roughly 72 percent of task orders and combined potential value. The remaining two primes (The La Group and Liollio Architecture PC) split the balance.

Eighty-eight percent of orders carried no set-aside designation. Four orders (12 percent) were set-aside for small business. FWS Region 5 itself placed 22 of 33 orders totaling $2.1 million combined potential value; the remaining task orders went to FWS regions 1, 2, and 9 and to FWS headquarters.

Work was concentrated in the region's states, with recurring activity at national wildlife refuges in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia. Task orders peaked in 2019 with fifteen awards, declining to nine in 2020 and one in early 2021 before the vehicle expired.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 has awarded a Master IDIQ for various design, construction, construction inspection, general and environmental studies, value engineering, and energy conservation practices, as well as other types of civil, and/or environmental engineering services to occur in the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia.
