Little Rock AFB Architect-Engineer Services 2012-2015

The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command awarded this Master IDIQ for architect-engineer services supporting Little Rock Air Force Base and subordinate facilities in Arkansas (All-American Drop Zone at Camp J.T. Robinson; North Little Rock; and Blackjack Drop Zone between El Paso and Romance, Arkansas) on September 29, 2012, with ordering authority closing on September 28, 2015—now expired for more than ten years.

The vehicle is no longer active. All 26 task orders were issued by the cutoff date, and the combined potential value of $4.6 million has been fully obligated. The most recent orders were placed in September 2015. Ordering momentum peaked in 2014 with eight awards, declining to seven in 2015.

Task orders cover the full spectrum of A-E services: conceptual and final design packages; construction phase services including design for repair, maintenance, and new construction of buildings, structures, roads, roofs, and utilities; studies and surveys (including geotechnical surveys, water-main leak investigations, and Architectural Barriers Act compliance studies); and value engineering. Typical projects address HVAC systems, roof repairs, energy-efficiency retrofits, fire suppression systems, munitions storage facilities, hangars, and utility infrastructure including natural-gas systems and Jet A fuel systems.

Competition concentrated among four firms. Cromwell Architects Engineers, Inc. led by potential value at $1.5 million across seven orders, followed by Leidos Engineering LLC at $1.3 million across five orders. Burns & Mcdonnell Engineering Company, Inc. and SCM Architects PLLC each held roughly $800 thousand to $900 thousand combined potential value. All orders were unrestricted competitive (no set-aside designations). Individual task-order ceilings ranged from roughly $19 thousand to $1 million, with typical design and Title II service orders between $50 thousand and $250 thousand and larger multi-project service orders reaching $800 thousand to $1 million. All 26 orders funded Air Mobility Command programs.
