Southeast Regional Architect and Engineering

NASA Kennedy Space Center awarded this Master IDIQ on September 10, 2021, to provide architecture and engineering services across Southeast regional NASA facilities, with ordering authority ending September 9, 2026—approximately one month remaining. The vehicle carries a shared ceiling of $300 million across up to twelve contract awardees and has generated 128 task orders to date, though ordering momentum is decelerating (9 orders issued year-to-date in 2026, down from 22 in 2025 and 30 in 2022).

Work spans design, construction management, engineering-services-during-construction, and feasibility studies for facilities rehabilitation, modernization, and ground support systems at Kennedy Space Center (Florida), Johnson Space Center and Ellington Field (Texas), Marshall Space Flight Center (Alabama), Michoud Assembly Facility (Louisiana), Stennis Space Center (Mississippi), White Sands Test Facility (New Mexico), and other NASA assets and launch or landing sites worldwide. Recent task orders exemplify the scope: Vehicle Assembly Building modifications for Space Launch System Block 1B, electrical system revitalizations and safety upgrades at Marshall, potable water tie-ins and shoreline protection at Kennedy, and building demolition and recapitalization work across the portfolio.

AECOM Technical Services dominates by order count (30 orders, $22 million combined potential value) and combined value, capturing roughly 30 percent of all awards. Jacobs Engineering Group ranks second by potential value at $14.1 million across 7 orders. Nelson Engineering, Rs&H, and Merrick & Company round out the top five. The five largest primes collectively hold approximately 81 percent of combined potential value. Nine distinct primes have been awarded; a long tail of smaller regional design and engineering firms completes the field.

Kennedy Space Center is the dominant customer, funding 88 of 128 orders (roughly 69 percent of combined potential value at $31.8 million). Marshall Space Flight Center follows with 20 orders at $23.5 million. Johnson Space Center accounts for 15 orders at $15 million. Stennis and Goddard Space Centers together represent a small fraction of activity. All 128 task orders carry no set-aside designation.

Combined task-order potential value stands at $73.8 million, with $57.3 million already obligated (78 percent). Task-order ceilings typically range from under $100 thousand to $8.7 million, with firm fixed-price structures predominant. Multi-year performance periods are common; many orders extend into 2026 and beyond, indicating sustained backlog and renewal activity. Place of performance is distributed across the named NASA centers and launch facilities, with no single site dominating.

Rehabilitate, modernize, and/or develop new systems for facilities, utilities, and ground support systems (GSS) across all of the following locations; Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida; Johnson Space Center (JSC), Sonny Carter Training Facility (SCTF), and Ellington Field located in Houston, TX and White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) located in Las Cruces, New Mexico; Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) Alabama, Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) Louisiana; Stennis Space Center (SSC) Mississippi, and other NASA assets; and launch or landing sites worldwide.
