Kansas City District MATOC

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Kansas City established a Master IDIQ for architect-engineer services supporting military projects throughout the Northwestern Division and Kansas City District, with ordering authority extending through March 17, 2028—approximately 20 months of remaining purchasing window.

The vehicle, awarded March 18, 2021, carries a shared ceiling of $125 million across all contractors and remains unrestricted and fully open to competition; all 46 task orders awarded to date carry no set-aside designation. However, ordering momentum has declined significantly: the vehicle sustained 15 orders in 2022 but only 1 in 2026 (as of January 15). Combined task-order potential value stands at $76.3 million, with $64.5 million obligated, leaving roughly $11.8 million unobligated against the stated potential. The vehicle's actual awards remain well below the $125 million ceiling, suggesting either conservative estimates during the original procurement or absorption of work through other channels.

Burns & Mcdonnell Engineering Company, Inc. dominates the prime pool, holding 14 of 46 orders and $33.2 million in combined potential value—nearly 44 percent of all awarded potential value. AECOM - Garver Kansas City Design Services JV and Merrick & Company follow with $13 million and $11.8 million respectively. The top five primes account for approximately 89 percent of order count and 95 percent of combined potential value, indicating a tightly consolidated competitive base. The remaining two primes hold minimal activity.

Work concentrates heavily within the Corps of Engineers: the Kansas City District itself accounts for 37 of 46 orders and $43.8 million combined potential value (57 percent of the total), with the Sacramento, New York, and Seattle districts capturing the remainder. Recent task orders span planning studies, design services, commissioning, and construction-phase support at Fort Leavenworth, Fort Riley, and other military installations, as well as work for the Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers and Department of Agriculture research facilities. Typical awarded task-order values range from under $500 thousand to $11.8 million, with firm-fixed-price pricing standard across awards.

The Architect-Engineer (A-E) contracts are required to support all Military projects assigned to Kansas City District (NWK) throughout the geographical boundaries of Northwestern Division (NWD) and other U.S. Army Corps of Engineers districts.
