USAID Pakistan Architecture and Engineering Services IQC

The US Agency for International Development established a Master IDIQ for architecture and engineering services in Pakistan on September 30, 2011, with a shared ceiling of $120 million and an ordering period that closed on October 2, 2016. The vehicle is no longer active; ordering ended nine years nine months ago.

The vehicle contracted general architecture and engineering services supporting USAID's Pakistan mission. Awarded task orders funded monitoring and inspection of construction projects, environmental assessments, design reviews, and engineering assessments across municipal services programs, water and wastewater infrastructure, schools, energy projects, irrigation development, and stabilization activities in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Activity was modest and frontloaded. The vehicle issued 19 task orders between January 2012 and January 2017, with peak ordering in 2013, 2014, and 2016 (three orders each year) and trailing off thereafter. The most recent award came in January 2017, more than nine years ago. USAID Pakistan accounted for 12 orders worth $43.2 million combined potential value; the parent USAID agency placed 7 orders worth $5.5 million.

Competition was highly concentrated. Halcrow Pakistan (Pvt.) LIMITED dominated with 8 orders valued at $28.9 million combined potential value—approximately 59% of all potential value. A.a.associates held the second position with 6 orders worth $14.1 million. National Engineering Services Pakistan (Pvt) LTD. (Nespak) and two miscellaneous foreign awardees rounded out the field. All 19 task orders were unrestricted (no set-aside designations).

The vehicle's combined task-order potential value totaled $48.6 million, with $43.3 million obligated (89% of potential). Task orders were priced on time-and-materials or firm-fixed-price bases, with individual order values typically ranging from roughly $240,000 to $6.5 million. All work was performed in Pakistan. The vehicle is closed to new ordering and pursuit activity.
