Utility Monitoring and Control Systems Fifth Generation (UMCS-V)

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville established the Utility Monitoring and Control Systems Fifth Generation (UMCS-V) Master IDIQ on November 25, 2019, with a combined shared ceiling of $2.1 billion and a last date to order of November 25, 2019. Ordering has been closed since that date, but the vehicle remains active; 245 task orders have been awarded since November 2019, with two orders as recently as March 2026. The vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders, making pursuit limited to existing awardee positions.

The vehicle procures procurement, installation, maintenance, and service of industrial control systems across a broad scope including UMCS, HVAC and chiller/boiler systems, SCADA, fire alarm, life safety, electronic security, and physical security hardening such as barriers and lighting. Recent task orders reflect both equipment replacement and preventive/corrective maintenance across domestic and overseas Army installations, including work at Fort Bragg, Aberdeen Proving Ground, RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, and multiple overseas bases.

Competition is highly concentrated. Johnson Controls Building Automation Systems leads with 54 orders and $750.8 million combined potential value, followed by Spectrum Solutions Inc. with 54 orders and $359.1 million, and M.C. Dean Inc. with 21 orders and $332.6 million. These three firms and two others (Siemens Government Technologies and KBR Wyle Services) hold 81 percent of combined potential value across all awardees. Task orders are predominantly unrestricted; roughly 94 percent carry no set-aside designation, with about 6 percent designated for small business.

Customer concentration is similarly narrow. The Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville and the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering and Support Center account for roughly 78 percent of task orders by order count. Work spreads across 32 customer agencies, but orders are heavily weighted toward Army programs. Typical task-order ceilings range from under $1 million for discrete maintenance work to $40 million for multi-year facility upgrades and maintenance programs. Combined task-order potential value is $2.2 billion, with $1.33 billion obligated (60 percent).

With the ordering period expired and dominance concentrated among four established primes, entry as a new awardee is not possible. Existing awardees continue to receive orders at a rate of roughly 40 orders per year (2025 baseline), sustaining the vehicle as an active execution platform for Army facility and infrastructure modernization.

This IDIQ provides all personnel, equipment tools, materials supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to provide the Procurement and Installation (P & I) of and/or the Maintenance and Service (M & S) of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) including but not limited to: Utility Monitoring and Control Systems (UMCS), Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems to include chiller/boiler systems installation and/or integration, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems, Fire Alarm Systems (FAS), life safety systems, other automated control systems including chemical / biological / radiological contaminant detection / filtration / response, utilities (electric/ gas/ water/ steam) metering, Electronic Security Systems (ESS), and security and/or force protection measures such as, but not limited to, barriers, fencing, gates, window treatments, hardening, and lighting.
