About this vehicle
The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works awarded this multiple-award Master IDIQ on November 1, 2021, with a shared ceiling of $49 million and ordering authority extending through May 1, 2027 (nine months of remaining opportunity). The vehicle is unrestricted, non-set-aside work.
Work involves third-party blind validation seeding, advanced geophysical classification data collection and processing, subsurface and surface seeding, military munitions response (MMR) and hazardous waste site remediation, MEC avoidance, and close coordination with USACE. Services are performed firm-fixed-price across the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, outlying areas, and selected strategic sites (Kwajalein Island, Meck Island, Bikini Atoll, Palau). NAICS 541620, PSC R425.
Ordering momentum is moderate but uneven: eight orders in the launch year (2021), then one in 2023, two in 2024, and two in 2025 (most recent August 2025). Thirteen task orders have been issued; combined potential value is $10.6 million with $4.8 million obligated (45%). Significant unutilized ceiling remains against the $49 million vehicle cap.
Ch2M Hill, Inc. dominates with four orders and $8 million in combined potential value, followed by Tpmc-Wrt LLC with three orders and $2.7 million. Eight primes total are on the vehicle; the top two hold approximately 76% of potential value. Customer concentration is strong: Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville placed nine orders ($3.8 million potential), while Los Angeles District placed two ($4.5 million potential); four USACE districts and centers fund work across the portfolio.
Task-order values range widely: most recent substantive orders ceiling between $804 thousand and $3.8 million, with durations extending two to four years. Most task orders are performance-based with optional mobilization/demobilization line items. Eight initial orders at $3 thousand each represent minimum guarantees, most now de-obligated or expiring May 1, 2027.
Description
Work will include preparing a Validation Seeding Plan, fieldwork to include subsurface and surface seeding and MEC avoidance, advanced geophysical classification, document preparation, and close coordination with USACE.
