Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst Mechanical IDIQ 2013-2018

The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command awarded this Master IDIQ on September 23, 2013, with ordering authority that closed on September 22, 2018—this vehicle is no longer active for new task orders. The vehicle procured HVACR inspection, testing, installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement work on Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst, with a shared ceiling of $9.5 million.

Ordering closed nearly eight years ago. The vehicle issued 199 task orders over its five-year ordering period, with peak activity in 2018 (49 orders) following a steady pace of roughly 30 orders per year from 2015–2017. The most recent task order was awarded March 21, 2019, marking work in execution after the ordering deadline. Combined task-order potential value reached $25.7 million, with $25.5 million (99 percent) obligated by the end of the award period—the vehicle was heavily utilized and nearly fully funded.

Work centered on routine building-systems maintenance, equipment replacement, and emergency repairs across the base: chiller and boiler replacements, HVAC unit installation, pipe insulation, drain and fire-suppression repairs, mold removal, and submersible pump work. Task orders ranged from under $15 thousand for minor repairs to $1.46 million for large-scale HVAC upgrades; most fell in the $50 thousand to $350 thousand range.

Competition was highly concentrated. Mellor Contracting & Supply, LLC held 101 of 199 orders (roughly 51 percent) worth $14.1 million in combined potential value. M.e.r.i.t., Inc. captured 70 orders (35 percent) valued at $9.1 million. American Commercial Group Inc. held the remaining 28 orders worth $2.6 million. These three firms accounted for 100 percent of awarded orders.

Ninety-seven percent of task orders (193 of 199) were set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, heavily favoring that socioeconomic category. The remaining six orders were either unrestricted or total small business. The Air Mobility Command generated 197 of 199 orders and $25.6 million of the $25.7 million total value; one Navy order for $86 thousand and one Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service order for $37 thousand represented minimal cross-agency activity.
