Global Architecture Engineer Services III

The Global Architecture Engineer Services III (A&E III IDIQ) is a comprehensive $800 million multiple-award contract vehicle administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to procure global infrastructure and technical support services. The contract enables the acquisition of professional architectural, engineering, and construction management services across multiple sectors, including infrastructure planning, design, construction supervision, and institutional development. Services are predominantly performed by registered and licensed architectural and engineering professionals, with capabilities spanning policy development, feasibility studies, environmental management, master planning, technical assessments, and capacity building initiatives.

Task orders under this IDIQ demonstrate a diverse range of international infrastructure and development support projects, typically valued between $2 million and $90 million with performance periods extending up to five years. Frequent prime contractors include large engineering firms like Black & Veatch, AECOM, Tetra Tech, and CDM International, as well as smaller businesses such as Green Powered Technology and Bizsolutions 360. Most task orders are not set-aside, though some feature total or partial small business designations. Geographical performance spans multiple countries, with recent task orders supporting infrastructure initiatives in Ukraine, Nepal, Jordan, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Mali. The contract vehicle enables USAID and other U.S. government missions to efficiently procure professional services through cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price delivery orders focused on critical infrastructure, reconstruction, and development support.
