VISN 19 Architect Engineering Services 2016-2021

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 awarded a Master IDIQ for architect and engineering services on July 1, 2016, with a last date to order of June 30, 2021—meaning the vehicle is closed to new ordering as of more than five years ago. The shared ceiling was $25 million.

This vehicle has executed 117 task orders with combined potential value of $27.4 million, of which $25.9 million (95 percent) has been obligated. Ordering activity peaked in 2018 with 49 awards; annual awards declined thereafter to 12–20 per year. The most recent task order award was July 31, 2021, five years in the past. Since the ordering period closed in mid-2021, this vehicle is no longer available for new work.

Task orders procured architect and engineering design services, site-preparation work, feasibility studies, and construction-period services across VA Medical Center campuses. Scope includes HVAC systems, fire/life-safety upgrades, MEP infrastructure corrections, facility renovations (pharmacy, ICU, administrative space), utility systems (boiler plants, chilled water, electrical), and medical equipment site preparation (MRI, CT, PET scanner, interventional radiology). Work was performed at VA facilities in Denver, Grand Junction, Cheyenne, Sheridan, Fort Harrison, and Salt Lake City, with some orders extending to Oklahoma City and Muskogee facilities.

Three primes dominated: Fourfront Design Inc. (32 orders, $10 million potential value), Valhalla Engineering Group, LLC (35 orders, $7.6 million), and Apogee Consulting Group, P.a. (29 orders, $6.8 million). Together these three held roughly 96 orders and $24.4 million of the vehicle's $27.4 million combined potential value. Guidon Design Inc. and Vali Cooper International LLC held the remainder. Nearly all activity (111 of 117 orders, $22.5 million) funded VISN 19 directly; the remaining six orders ($4.9 million) supported the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin.

About 79 percent of awards (92 orders) carried no set-aside; 21 percent (25 orders) were set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. Task orders typically ranged from $25,000 to $500,000 in ceiling value, with firm fixed-price pricing. The largest single order was a $2.76 million ceiling for EHRM infrastructure upgrades at Sheridan VAMC (awarded June 30, 2021, obligated $2.17 million).
