National Architecture, Engineering, and Interiors

The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 5 established this Master IDIQ for multidisciplinary architecture, engineering, and interior design services nationwide on November 10, 2022, with ordering authority extending through November 9, 2027 — approximately 16 months remaining. The vehicle carries a shared ceiling of $125 million across two pools and no set-aside restriction.

The IDIQ has issued 155 task orders totaling $161.6 million in combined potential value, with $146.3 million obligated (91% drawn). Ordering momentum has moderated: awards totaled 46 orders in 2023, peaked at 58 in 2024, then declined to 33 in 2025 and 18 through July 2026. The most recent task order awarded on July 8, 2026, was a $5.7 million ceiling delivery order for CMA services. Typical task orders range from modest feasibility studies and workplace engagement efforts under $500,000 to design services and construction administration spanning $2 million to $8 million; one order to Smithgroup, Inc. exceeded $9.3 million for a Moakley prospectus design project.

AECOM Technical Services, Inc. dominates the vehicle by order count and value, holding 45 orders worth $34.5 million combined potential value. M Arthur Gensler JR & Associates Inc. and Smithgroup, Inc. follow with 22 and 15 orders, respectively. The top five primes — AECOM, Gensler, Smithgroup, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., and Studios Architecture — account for 109 of 155 orders (70% of activity) and $100.9 million combined potential value. A longer tail of 8 additional firms shares the remainder, including LEO A Daly + NBBJ joint venture. Nearly all work is unrestricted; only 2 orders across the vehicle carry a partial small-business designation.

Customer concentration centers on GSA Public Buildings Service regional offices: the National Capital Region, Region 5, and Region 1 together placed 47 orders (30% of the portfolio). The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts and GSA's central Public Buildings Service function also place significant volume. Across 155 task orders, 52 distinct funding agencies participate, reflecting the governmentwide reach of the vehicle.

Work spans site investigations, programs of requirements, feasibility studies, schematic and design-intent drawings, construction documents, bid-phase support, construction administration, and specialty disciplines including historic preservation, wayfinding, structural analysis, hazardous materials assessment, and SCIF design. Recent awards illustrate the scope: full design services for federal courthouse plaza renovations, passport office interior design, FDA campus consolidation, utility infrastructure studies, and facility decarbonization analyses. Performance occurs nationwide across federal facilities in the contiguous United States, with some orders specifying multiple simultaneous locations.

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 includes the contiguous United States. Scopes of the task orders issued under this IDIQ may include but are not limited to: provide and complete design requirements for Preliminary Concepts, Final Concepts, Design Intent Drawings, Construction Documents, Bid Phase Services, and Construction Administration. These services apply to the following disciplines: Planning, Architecture, Historic Preservation, Interior Design, Lighting, Acoustics, Landscape Architecture, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Structural, LEED, Information Technology, Sustainability, Fire Protection & Life Safety.
