GSA Architecture and Engineering Services 2014-2016

The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 5 established a Master IDIQ for architecture and engineering services on November 14, 2014, with a final ordering date of December 31, 2020—the vehicle is no longer active. Over six years of operation, the IDIQ generated 134 task orders totaling $27.8 million in combined potential value, with 97 percent obligated. Ordering momentum declined sharply in the vehicle's final years: 35 orders in 2016 dropped to 11 in 2020, the last award issued July 10, 2020.

Five prime contractors hold 100 percent of awarded orders. AECOM Technical Services, Inc. leads by potential value with 36 orders worth $11.2 million, followed by Interactive Design Inc. at 46 orders and $7.3 million. EXP U.S. Services Inc. accounts for $6.2 million across 17 orders. Elevar Design Group Inc. and Snow Kreilich Architects Inc. complete the roster with $2.3 million and $846 thousand respectively. Activity concentrated heavily within GSA Region 5 itself: the regional PBS office placed 101 of 134 orders valued at $19.5 million, representing 75 percent of the vehicle's task-order count. Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts and Social Security Administration were secondary customers with $1.8 million and $1.5 million combined potential value.

Set-aside activity was minimal—86 percent of orders carried no set-aside, while 14 percent involved partial small business participation. Task-order values ranged widely, from study and design work under $50 thousand to major feasibility and program development studies in the $500 thousand to $1.5 million range. Representative recent awards included design services for the Kinneary Courthouse chambers and library relocation in Columbus, Ohio ($373.5 thousand), the Milwaukee Federal Building fire-alarm project ($1.38 million obligated against $1.89 million ceiling), and the IRS consolidation project at the JCK Federal Building in Chicago ($1.38 million). Work performed across the Great Lakes Region, with geographic concentration in Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan federal courthouses and administrative facilities.
