The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Fort Worth established this competitive 8(a) multiple-award IDIQ for vertical construction services on September 27, 2022, with ordering authority through September 26, 2027—approximately 14 months remaining. The shared ceiling is $164.4 million; combined task-order potential value across 14 awarded orders totals $124 million, with $123.4 million already obligated.

The vehicle funds design-build and design-bid-build projects for military construction, sustainment, restoration, and maintenance at Army installations, including dormitories, barracks, dining facilities, classrooms, air traffic control towers, munitions training facilities, office space, chapels, warehouses, headquarters buildings, vehicle maintenance shops, laboratories, and joint operations centers. Work scope encompasses new construction, repairs, and alterations delivered on a firm-fixed-price basis.

Lemoine-Frazier JV LLC dominates by volume and value, holding 4 orders worth $52.2 million combined. Reasor-Asturian JV LLC is second with 3 orders valued at $35.7 million, followed by Red Eagle JV and CCI Mechanical LLC, each with 3 orders ($16.7 million and $13.1 million respectively).
