National Architect Engineer Interiors 2016-2021

The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 5 awarded a Master IDIQ for architect, engineering, and interior design services on May 1, 2016, with a shared ceiling of $90 million and a last date to order of June 14, 2019—making this vehicle closed to new ordering since mid-2019. The vehicle is no longer active for pursuit.

Awarded task orders span 257 deliverables across GSA real estate portfolios nationwide, including site investigations, pre-design studies, program of requirements development, multi-discipline design, estimating, design review, procurement support, and post-construction services. Work has extended to all United States and US territories under GSA administration. Recent orders show a mix of workplace engagement studies (particularly post-COVID return-to-work initiatives), facilities master plans, security upgrades, and major renovation projects such as the Census/Bureau of Labor Statistics consolidation at Suitland Federal Center ($2.486 million) and the Ice and Homeland Security Investigations backfill at headquarters facilities ($7.507 million).

Competition is moderately concentrated among four large firms. M Arthur Gensler JR & Associates holds 46 orders totaling $22 million combined potential value, followed by AECOM Technical Services (37 orders, $15.5 million), DLR Group (36 orders, $12 million), Jacobs Engineering (26 orders, $9.7 million), and Baxter Hodell Donnelly Preston (25 orders, $9.3 million). These five firms capture about 60% of the vehicle's combined potential value; the remaining eight subcategory awardees hold a long tail of smaller awards. Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward GSA's own regional offices, particularly the National Capital Region, which holds 76 orders worth $27 million—roughly 24% of all task-order potential value. Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies fund the remainder.

The vehicle obligated $110.5 million of its $114.7 million combined potential value (96% utilization), with task orders ranging from under $20,000 for planning workshops to multi-million-dollar design and construction-phase support engagements. No set-aside designations apply; all 257 orders were unrestricted. Annual ordering peaked at 52 orders in both 2019 and 2021, suggesting steady customer demand through the vehicle's closing date in 2019. The vehicle family included 12 subcategories of architectural and engineering firms across Studios Architecture, EYP, SmithGroupJJR, Skylab Architecture, Marble Fairbanks, Perkins+Will, Gensler, DLR Group, AECOM, Monica Ponce De Leon Studio, Baxter Hodell Donnelly Preston, and Jacobs Engineering.

This contract is a Master IDIQ to provide Architect, Engineering and Interior Design services that include but are not limited to: site investigation, pre-design studies, requirement assessments, Program of Requirements, & strategic customer engagements, multi discipline design, estimating, design review, procurement support and post construction award and move services for projects managed by GSA nation-wide, which include all United States and United State territories.
