USACE Omaha Facilities Sustainment 2016-2021

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Omaha awarded this Master IDIQ for service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) design-build and design-bid-build construction on September 29, 2016, with ordering authority that closed on October 1, 2021. The vehicle established a shared ceiling of $99 million across a target of five indefinite delivery contracts, with a minimum guarantee of $5,000, covering facilities sustainment, restoration, and modernization projects across the Omaha District's area of responsibility (Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin).

This vehicle is no longer active—ordering closed nearly five years ago. Twenty-eight task orders were awarded over four years of activity (2016–2020), with peak ordering in 2018 (10 orders) and 2019 (11 orders), then dropping sharply to 2 orders in 2020. The combined potential value of awarded task orders reached $89.6 million, with $79.8 million obligated, consuming 89 percent of the shared ceiling.

John Bowman, Inc. dominates the vehicle with 15 orders and $58.7 million in combined potential value—representing roughly 65 percent of all activity. RME Ltd., LLC holds the second position with 11 orders worth $21.9 million. The remaining capacity is split between Fidelity & Deposit Co Of Maryland and MT JV, each with single orders. Nearly all ordering ($89.4 million of $89.6 million) flowed to the Omaha District itself; the Corps' broader organization placed only $174,000 in orders.

The actual set-aside structure diverged significantly from the vehicle's SDVOSB designation. Twenty-two orders (79 percent) carried no set-aside, four orders (14 percent) were total small business, and only two orders (7 percent) were SDVOSB. Task orders ranged from $166,836 to $9.4 million in obligated value, with firm fixed pricing. The preponderance of work completed in Colorado and Wyoming, with projects including electrical upgrades, mechanical systems repair, structural construction, water main replacement, and stream channel maintenance.

This is phase one of a two-phase, design-build/design-bid-build Request for Proposal (RFP) for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns. The scope of this request for proposal (RFP) contains a wide range of Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization design-build/design-bid-build projects for existing military and civil stakeholders located within Omaha District's AOR (Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin) with a preponderance of the work completed in Colorado and Wyoming. Scope of projects may include vertical construction, site work, electrical, mechanical, minor hazardous and toxic waste abatement incidental to construction, etc.
