USACE Kansas City District Small Business Pre-placed Remedial Action Contract

USACE Kansas City District awarded a $245 million Master IDIQ for small-business remedial action and environmental remediation work on October 14, 2025, with ordering authority extending through October 13, 2030. The vehicle is structured as a total small-business set-aside at the vehicle level, though actual task orders show a mixed set-aside pattern.

The vehicle is in early stages with nine task orders awarded since inception, establishing shallow ordering momentum: eight orders in 2025 and one in 2026. As of March 13, 2026, $9 million of $11 million in combined task-order potential value has been obligated, representing 82 percent utilization. The portfolio remains well below the ceiling, indicating substantial remaining capacity. Ordering authority extends more than four years into the future.

Task orders span remedial action, environmental remediation, and landfill closure work. The Middlesex Municipal Landfill Remedial Action order (awarded March 13, 2026, to a prime not named in the portfolio summary) carries a ceiling of approximately $10.96 million with $9 million obligated and a performance period extending to March 12, 2031. Eight smaller orders carry $2,500 minimum guarantees each under the small-business pre-award competitive process structure, running through October 13, 2030.

Competitive concentration is extreme: Aes-Esfs JV II LLC holds both major awards by value, capturing the full $11 million in combined potential value. The remaining seven primes (Sevenson Environmental Services, Inc., Renova Environmental Company, Fpm-Aecom JV2, Cape-Aptim Jv1, LLC, and others) collectively hold only the $20 thousand in minimum-guarantee task orders. The top prime's dominance by value reflects the single large remedial action delivery order rather than broader competitive breadth.

Customer concentration mirrors this pattern: one order funds general Army Corps of Engineers operations (the $10.96 million ceiling Middlesex order), while eight small task orders support USACE Kansas City District directly. The vehicle is operationally narrowly scoped to a single geographic district and customer base. Set-aside execution shows 89 percent of orders awarded without set-aside restriction, with the single large remedial order designated Total Small Business.

Pricing is split: the Middlesex order uses Cost Plus Fixed Fee; the eight smaller guarantee orders use Firm Fixed Price. Performance locations are not specified in available data.
