USACE South Atlantic Division Environmental Quality Program Architect and Engineering Services

The Army Corps of Engineers Mobile District established this Master IDIQ for environmental quality architecture and engineering services on March 11, 2020, with a last date to order of March 10, 2023. The vehicle has been closed to new orders for over three years and is no longer accepting task orders.

The vehicle procures AE services supporting environmental compliance, pollution prevention, conservation and NEPA, restoration and remediation design, and permitting support for the Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, Defense Logistics Agency, and other DoD components across the Mobile District's jurisdiction in Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, and Louisiana. Scope includes strategy development, plans, data gathering, analysis, evaluations, studies, designs, and permitting action support. Work has extended beyond the geographic footprint—recent orders include air quality assessments at Lackland AFB in Texas, acoustic monitoring on the Utah Test and Training Range, and geospatial data management for Marine Corps installations nationwide.

The vehicle was structured as a multiple-award IDIQ with seven total awardees: four unrestricted and three small business set-asides. Actual task-order activity shows minimal small business utilization—only 1 of 41 orders (2%) carried a small business set-aside, while 40 orders (98%) were unrestricted or competed among both pools.

AECOM Technical Services holds clear dominance, commanding $24.7 million of potential value across 6 orders—roughly half the vehicle's combined potential value. HDR Environmental, Operations and Construction follows with $10 million across 8 orders, and Tetra Tech holds $8.5 million across 7 orders. Jacobs Engineering Group and the Trinity/Jacobs joint venture account for the remainder. These five firms capture 98 percent of combined potential value.

Funding splits across 14 agencies, with the Mobile District itself placing 15 of 41 orders valued at $10.3 million. The Marine Corps placed 4 orders totaling $14.4 million, including a $13.5 million geospatial data management ceiling. The Army placed 4 orders totaling $2.1 million.

Combined task-order potential value stands at $49.9 million with $45.7 million already obligated (92 percent). Ordering activity peaked at award in 2020 with 32 task orders, declined to 8 in 2021, and dropped to 1 in 2022. Individual task-order ceilings range from $1,000 minimum guarantees to the $13.5 million Marine Corps geospatial order, with typical substantive orders in the $400,000 to $2.5 million range. Because the last date to order has passed, no new task orders can be pursued under this vehicle.
