NASA Glenn Research Center A-E 2019

The NASA Glenn Research Center A-E 2019 Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract provides comprehensive architectural and engineering (A/E) services to support capital improvement projects across multiple NASA centers and NASA Headquarters. This multiple-award contract enables NASA to obtain specialized technical services for facility design, maintenance, repair, and infrastructure upgrades. The solicitation indicates that these services are typically for projects with construction estimates ranging from $500,000 to $10,000,000, covering a wide array of engineering disciplines including architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and specialized technical assessments. The contract requires expertise in areas such as site evaluation, building design, security systems, structural engineering, mechanical systems design, electrical infrastructure, and comprehensive facility condition assessments.

The task orders under this IDIQ demonstrate a consistent pattern of firm-fixed-price delivery orders with values typically ranging from $15,000 to $1.8 million and performance periods of 6-24 months. Three prime contractors consistently win task orders: AECOM Technical Services, Burgess & Niple Inc., and K2M Design, Inc. (with K2M being a self-certified small disadvantaged business). The funding primarily comes from NASA research centers, including Glenn Research Center, Langley Research Center, and Goddard Space Flight Center, with work predominantly performed in Ohio, Virginia, and Maryland. Common project types include facility condition assessments, infrastructure upgrades, mechanical and electrical system studies, design reviews, retro-commissioning analyses, and specialized engineering evaluations. No set-aside designations were used in the majority of task orders, indicating open competition among the multiple award holders. The contract has a $10 million shared ceiling and is set to expire on July 31, 2024.
