NPS SE Region Architect Engineering IDIQ 2016-2021

The National Park Service procured architect-engineer design and construction-management services under this Master IDIQ established January 28, 2016, with a shared ceiling of $15 million; ordering closed January 27, 2021, and the vehicle is no longer active. The 130 task orders issued under the vehicle obligated the entire $27.1 million combined potential value, with all funds expended by the most recent award in August 2021. Ordering momentum peaked in 2020 with 48 orders, declining to 34 in 2021 as the vehicle approached its order cutoff.

Work spans multi-disciplinary architect-engineer services across the National Park Service estate. Recent task orders illustrate the scope: historic structures reports (Fort Moultrie Military Reservation, Prince Hall Masonic Temple, Wright Brothers site), water and wastewater system rehabilitation (Great Smoky Mountains, Mammoth Cave, Sugarlands), trail and boardwalk design (Davis Bayou, Discovery Nature Trail, Oakland Riverside Trail), building systems replacement (HVAC, electrical, fire suppression), structural repairs (Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Fort Jefferson Counterscarp), and Title III construction-phase engineering services. A handful of larger orders—including $2.8 million for Everglades Tamiami Trail modifications, $1.0 million for NCA Mission 66 comfort stations, and $996 thousand for Vicksburg park-wide road study—anchor the portfolio alongside dozens of smaller design and assessment orders ranging from $8 thousand to $800 thousand.

Two firms hold 100 percent of awarded work. Lord, Aeck & Sargent, Inc. captured 72 orders worth $14.4 million; Quinn Evans Architects Inc. received 58 orders worth $12.7 million. The National Park Service National Office placed 70 orders valued at $19.3 million, with the Southeast Region responsible for 52 orders at $6.7 million; Northeast and Pacific West regions together account for 8 orders at roughly $1.0 million. All 130 orders were unrestricted competitive awards with no set-aside designations. Task orders carried firm-fixed-price terms with typical durations of 12 to 24 months and individual ceilings ranging widely, from under $25 thousand for spot assessments to over $2.8 million for phased, multi-year design and engineering programs. Place of performance is distributed across the Southeast Region (primary) and nationwide secondary geography, with geographic specificity tied to individual park locations and national office initiatives.
