Worldwide AE Support Services 2015-2020

The Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations awarded this Master IDIQ on September 30, 2015, with a shared ceiling of $25 million to support architectural and engineering services for Foreign Service posts and OBO offices worldwide, but ordering closed on January 10, 2021, and the vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders.

The vehicle funded 122 task orders with combined potential value of $100 million, of which $99.9 million has been obligated. The final task order awarded on September 28, 2021, was a small seismic risk assessment supporting rapid visual survey building inventory data processing. Activity peaked in 2017 with 30 orders, then declined steadily to 4 orders in 2021 before the ordering window closed. Task-order values ranged widely, from under $50 thousand to as much as $11.8 million, with firm fixed pricing across all orders.

Jacobs Government Services Company leads by potential value with 26 orders worth $25.7 million, followed by Page Federal Solutions, LLC at $20.4 million across 6 orders, AECOM Services, LLC at $18.5 million across 31 orders, Davis Brody Bond, LLP at $16.7 million across 24 orders, and Moore Ruble Yudell at $12.1 million across 19 orders. These five firms captured 93 percent of combined potential value. Activity is heavily concentrated at the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations, which placed 120 orders worth $99 million; two minor orders funded the Bureau of Information Resource Management and the Office of the Secretary.

All 122 task orders carried no set-aside designation, reflecting unrestricted competition. Awarded work ranged across facility condition assessments, Title II construction services, project development studies for embassies and consulates worldwide, staff augmentation, seismic and flood risk mitigation, and planning and design support for diplomatic facilities in locations including Erbil, Baghdad, Islamabad, Tel Aviv, Algiers, and Panama. The most recent orders addressed niche technical support such as wastewater treatment facility studies and workplace performance evaluation programs.

The U.S. Department of State (DOS), Office of Logistics Management, on behalf of the Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) has awarded a Master IDIQ contract to qualified architectural/engineering (A/E) firm-led teams (prime or joint venture) to support the Department's planning, construction, facility rehabilitation, system replacement, physical and technical security upgrade, construction and renovation of communications facilities (information management and emanation security systems), and building maintenance projects and programs at various worldwide Foreign Service posts, as well as OBO offices in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
