USCG Environmental A-E Services 2013-2018

The U.S. Coast Guard awarded this master IDIQ for environmental architectural and engineering services on October 22, 2013, with a shared ceiling of $60 million and a last date to order of October 21, 2018—now closed to new ordering. The vehicle is no longer active; ordering closed more than seven years ago, and no successor vehicle is cited in the source.

Activity has wound down substantially. The vehicle produced 163 task orders over its life, with peak ordering in 2014 (53 orders) declining steeply to 32 in 2018, its final year. The combined potential value of all task orders awarded was $31.8 million, of which $31.5 million (99 percent) has been obligated, indicating the vehicle has been nearly fully drawn.

Scope spans site investigations, remediation design, environmental compliance evaluations, permitting support, biological and cultural resource surveys, stormwater and spill prevention planning, and facility condition assessments across Coast Guard real property. Recent orders reflect recurring work: Environmental Compliance Evaluations at multiple facilities, groundwater monitoring at contaminated sites (particularly Base Elizabeth City, North Carolina), water treatment plant assessments and repairs (Base Kodiak, Alaska), CERCLA and UST investigations at light stations, and dredge-support environmental assessments. Work is performed nationwide and in U.S. territories, with geographic concentration visible at Base Kodiak, Base Elizabeth City, and coastal California facilities.

Competition is moderately concentrated. WSP USA Environment & Infrastructure Inc. leads with 51 orders valued at $9.7 million combined. Arcadis U.S., Inc. (33 orders, $6 million), AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (29 orders, $5.7 million), and Tetra Tech, Inc. (26 orders, $6.1 million) form a competitive tier. The top four firms account for about 139 of 163 orders. The set-aside mix is overwhelmingly unrestricted: 155 of 163 orders (95 percent) carried no set-aside, with only 8 orders designated Partial Small Business.

Task-order values ranged from small studies under $30,000 to larger multi-year efforts exceeding $1.4 million. Typical task-order ceilings fall between $100,000 and $500,000 for discrete studies and investigations, with longer-duration monitoring and design-support contracts reaching $600,000 to $1.3 million. This vehicle is not available for new pursuit.

The purpose of this vehicle is the provision of Environmental Architectural/Engineering (A/E) Services for Coast Guard real property and shore infrastructure. Services may be used at a wide variety of facilities, buildings, and structures to include lighthouses and other inland and offshore aids-to-navigation (ATON) facilities and structures, roads and grounds, utility systems and other appurtenances thereto. Services may be used in any of the United States, U.S. territories, or any place where the USCG may have a mission interest.
