Worldwide Support Services 2010-2016

The Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations established this Master IDIQ on July 13, 2010, with a shared ceiling of $25 million and a final ordering date of August 1, 2016—now closed for more than nine years. Ordering activity peaked in 2012 and 2013, with 15 and 17 task orders respectively, then declined sharply; only one order was placed in 2016. The vehicle is no longer active for new work.

All 73 task orders awarded under the vehicle are unrestricted, competitive procurements with no small-business set-asides. The combined potential value of all task orders reached $36.4 million, exceeding the vehicle's shared ceiling and fully obligating available funding.

Work contracted reflects overseas building operations support: architectural and engineering services, project development and management, facility condition assessments, site surveys and schematic design, environmental remediation oversight, staff augmentation, construction document preparation, and technical reviews for drinking water safety, barrier-free accessibility improvements, and facility security upgrades at diplomatic posts worldwide. Task order values typically range from $28,000 to $3.6 million, with firm fixed pricing. Representatively, delivery orders covered building survey services ($179,000), compound security upgrades ($721,000), pre-construction services ($2.67 million), and environmental remediation oversight ($605,000).

Competition concentrated heavily among three primes. Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. captured 32 orders worth $21.1 million combined potential value—58 percent of all activity. Ch2M Hill, Inc. held 28 orders valued at $9.1 million—25 percent. Klingstubbins, Inc. received 11 orders totaling $4.9 million. A small number of undisclosed domestic awardees shared the remainder. The Bureau of Overseas Building Operations placed 71 of 73 orders; the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs placed two orders valued at $1.3 million. This vehicle is closed to new orders and has completed its useful life.
