VISN 8 Architect Engineering MATOC

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 awarded a Master IDIQ on November 20, 2023 for architecture, engineering, design, environmental science, and administrative services spanning Florida and Puerto Rico, with ordering authority through November 19, 2028 and a shared ceiling of $280 million. The vehicle is fully set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses.

Ordering momentum remains steady. The vehicle has issued 122 task orders since December 2023, with a recent acceleration: 36 orders in 2026 (through July), compared to 43 in 2025, 19 in 2024, and 24 in 2023. The combined task-order potential value stands at $55.5 million, with $48.8 million obligated (88% of potential value), leaving roughly $6.7 million in unobligated potential across awarded orders and approximately $224.5 million of the vehicle ceiling untouched.

Task orders span architectural design, civil and structural engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, HVAC, seismic and fire protection engineering, environmental and hazardous-materials assessment, CAD services, land surveying, GIS analysis, cost estimation, LEED services, energy modeling, and construction inspection. Recent awards include roofing design ($2.15 million ceiling), research-department floor design ($2.03 million ceiling), elevator design at Bay Pines VAMC ($1.03 million ceiling), sanitary-sewer system design ($962 thousand ceiling), and HVAC and building-system upgrade studies ranging from $150 thousand to $1.1 million.

Competition concentrates moderately among a small set of primes. Spees LLC, Above Group Inc., Apogee Consulting Group P.A., Toland Mizell Molnar LLC, and Guidon MES JV II LLC together hold 63% of combined potential value across 56 task orders. Twenty distinct prime contractors hold awards. The set-aside mix breaks into 61% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business competitive, 38% unrestricted, and 2% sole-source Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. Nearly all ordering (121 of 122 orders) funds VISN 8 programs directly; a single order ($58 thousand) went to VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin.

Place of performance remains VISN 8 locations across Florida and Puerto Rico, with regional fair-opportunity divisions noted in several task-order statements. Task-order duration ranges from roughly six months for studies to three years for major design and construction-period services.

The MATOC involves hiring a wide range of professionals in the fields of architecture, engineering, design, environmental science, and administration.
