North Atlantic Design Build Multiple Award Task Order Contract

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District New England established this multiple-award Master IDIQ for design-build services across the New England District and North Atlantic Division areas of responsibility on September 1, 2020, with a shared ceiling of $90 million and an ordering period that closed on August 31, 2025.

Ordering is no longer open; the vehicle expired ten months ago. Seven task orders have been awarded since inception, with combined potential value of $48.1 million against the $90 million ceiling (53% utilization). Task order activity accelerated in 2020 with four initial awards, dropped to one in 2021, then returned with two awards in 2025 before the ordering window closed. As of the most recent award in August 2025, obligated dollars reached $44.7 million, or 93 percent of combined potential value, indicating strong project funding commitment.

Scope centers on new construction, rehabilitation, renovation, repair, modification, alteration, and preventative maintenance of vertical and non-vertical projects. Task orders range from $40 thousand to $26.3 million in ceiling value. Recent awards include temporary facilities to support a Veterans Affairs surgical tower in West Haven, Connecticut (ceiling $26.3 million; awarded August 2025), a logistics readiness squadron warehouse at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts (ceiling $19.9 million; awarded April 2025), and a Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory laser laboratory renovation in Hanover, New Hampshire (ceiling $314 thousand; awarded September 2021).

Competition is heavily concentrated. P & S Construction Inc. holds three orders worth $28.1 million combined potential value (58 percent of all awards), while Structural Associates Inc. holds two orders worth $19.9 million (41 percent). Two other small businesses—J & J Contractors, Inc. and CCI Group LLC—each hold single nominal awards of $40 thousand. The originating solicitation targeted four small-business awardees; actual awards went to four firms, but two primes captured nearly all value.

Customer concentration is similarly narrow. The Engineering District New England placed five orders worth $48 million (99.8 percent of combined potential value). The broader Army Corps of Engineers placed two nominal orders totaling $80 thousand. About 71 percent of task orders carried no set-aside designation; 29 percent were small-business awards.

Work is performed across New England and subordinate North Atlantic Division locations. Firm-fixed-price contracting is used throughout. The vehicle is no longer accepting new orders.
