Planning and Environmental Studies

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Sacramento awarded this Master IDIQ on May 17, 2017, to perform planning studies, analyses, and environmental reports supporting Corps civil and military projects within the South Pacific Division footprint (California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and portions of Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and Texas). The vehicle's ordering period closed on May 15, 2022, and no new task orders may be issued; the vehicle is no longer active for new procurement.

Sixteen task orders totaling $6.1 million in combined potential value were awarded under the vehicle between September 2017 and March 2022, with ordering momentum concentrated in 2018–2019 (eight orders across both years). The most recent order issued in March 2022. To date, $4.1 million (67% of combined potential value) has been obligated. Task orders cluster in environmental compliance and cultural resources support—NEPA and ESA compliance surveys, cultural resources inventories and evaluations, pre-dredged sediment sampling, water remediation, and historic properties treatment planning. Order values range from roughly $94 thousand to $1.1 million in ceiling value, typically on firm-fixed-price terms with performance windows of one to three years.

Competition concentrates among a small set of primes. Iaf2 LLC leads with five orders worth $1.5 million combined potential value, followed by Ruth Villalobos & Associates, Inc. (three orders, $1.3 million) and Burleson Consulting, Inc. (two orders, $1.3 million). Tierra Data Inc. holds four orders valued at $824 thousand. These four firms account for 14 of 16 awards. All 16 task orders fund the same customer—Engineering District Sacramento—eliminating cross-agency funding variance. Seventy-five percent of orders carried no set-aside designation; the remaining 25% were awarded as small-business set-asides, distributed across multiple primes rather than concentrated in a single vendor.

Because the ordering period has expired, this vehicle presents no pathway for new task orders. Existing contractors may pursue closeout or modification activity against awarded orders with remaining ceiling value, but the vehicle itself is closed to new competition.

Master IDIQ to perform studies and analyses, and preparing reports and supporting documents related to the Corps planning processes for civil, military, and "Interagency and International Services" (IIS) program studies and projects, within the Corps of Engineers South Pacific Division (SPD) boundaries. These boundaries include the states of California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and parts of Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and Texas.
