USACE Mobile Architect and Engineering Services Supporting the Construction Management Program 2023 - 2029

The USACE Mobile Architect and Engineering Services Supporting the Construction Management Program 2023-2029 is a multiple-award Master IDIQ contract vehicle established to provide comprehensive architect-engineer services in support of Construction Management Services (CMS) across federal and military installations throughout the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mobile District's Area of Responsibility, which encompasses the southeastern United States, Central America, and South America. The originating solicitation, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, sought qualified firms capable of delivering a full range of construction management support including biddability and constructability reviews, preparation of contract-related documents such as construction cost estimates and project schedules, review of contractor submittals and shop drawings, and Quality Assurance activities for building construction inspection. Selected firms were required to provide, either in-house or through partners and sub-consultants, nine core disciplines including project managers, architects, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, structural engineers, cost estimators, construction QA inspectors, and project schedulers, with professional registration required where applicable. The contract was awarded on January 17, 2023, with a last date to order of January 16, 2028, providing a five-year ordering period for task order issuance.

Task orders issued under this vehicle range from nominal guaranteed minimum awards of $1,000 to substantial construction management contracts exceeding $7.7 million, with most substantive delivery orders valued between $1 million and $3 million and performance periods extending two to four years. Frequently awarded prime contractors include Resilient LLC Joint Venture, Thompson Engineering Inc., AECOM Technical Services Inc., Accura Engineering and Consulting Services Inc., HDR Environmental Operations and Construction Inc., and Apsi Construction Management, with Resilient LLC Joint Venture and Thompson Engineering receiving the most significant task order volume. The majority of delivery orders are issued without set-aside designations, though the underlying Master IDIQ vehicle was originally structured as a Total Small Business set-aside. Common places of performance include Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida, which has received substantial CMS support related to post-hurricane reconstruction, military installations at Maxwell Air Force Base and Patrick Space Force Base, as well as civil works projects such as locks and dams throughout the Mobile District. Funding typically originates from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, with occasional awards to support other agencies such as the U.S. Navy and Department of Defense installations, and task orders predominantly utilize firm fixed-price pricing structures.
