Water Resources Analytical and Professional Support Services

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers established a Master IDIQ for Water Resources Analytical and Professional Support Services on February 4, 2022, with a shared ceiling of $48.3 million and authority to place orders through February 3, 2027—approximately six months of ordering window remaining. The vehicle is a partially small-business-set-aside contract under NAICS 541611 (management consulting services) covering three domains: program management, research, planning and policy support; business management and financial management services; and facilitation, outreach, communication, and training support.

Fifty-six task orders have been awarded since May 2022, with $29.7 million obligated against $38.1 million in combined potential value (78% obligation rate). Ordering momentum shows volatility: 13 orders in 2022, 18 in 2023, 8 in 2024, 15 in 2025, and only 2 through mid-2026 as the vehicle approaches expiration. Recent orders span risk analysis training, waterborne commerce statistics systems operations and maintenance, dam safety tool development, levee safety facilitation, and critical infrastructure disruption analysis.

CDM Federal Programs Corporation dominates the vehicle, holding 24 awards valued at $18.1 million in combined potential—nearly half of all activity. The Council Oak LLC is the second-largest prime with 10 orders worth $6.6 million, followed by Booz Allen Hamilton, ABT Global LLC, AECOM Technical Services, and a small tail of specialists. The top three primes account for roughly 70% of combined potential value.

Ordering is concentrated within the Army Corps of Engineers organization: the Corps itself holds 42 orders worth $27.6 million, the Institute for Water Resources accounts for 13 orders worth $7.1 million, and the National Capitol Region Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity holds 1 order worth $3.4 million. Nearly all orders are unrestricted (93%); 4 orders (7%) carry the partial small-business set-aside designation. Task orders range from small facilitation and training engagements ($19,000–$140,000) to large operations-and-maintenance and infrastructure projects ($1.2 million to $5.9 million). The largest single award, Civil Works Business Intelligence operations and maintenance (W912HQ22D0004-W912HQ23F0238), carries $3.4 million in potential value. All awards use firm-fixed-price pricing.

Water Resources Analytical & Professional Support Services is categorized into three Domains: (1) Program Management, Research, Planning and Policy Support, (2) Business Management and Financial Management Services and Support and (3) Facilitation, Outreach, Communication, and Training Support.
