WFL AE Design IDIQ

The Federal Highway Administration's Western Federal Lands Highway Division (WFLHD) is seeking architect-engineer services to provide project planning, preliminary engineering, and post-design support for highway acquisitions and construction projects. This comprehensive scope encompasses project feasibility assessments, design activities, survey work, right-of-way services, environmental compliance, technical services, and administrative support throughout the project lifecycle from deficiency identification through successful completion. The procurement will be evaluated based on contractor qualifications, as this opportunity will be awarded through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process rather than traditional proposal evaluation. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on November 5, 2025, with a 15-day notice period ending November 20, 2025, after which the RFQ will be released. Interested firms should monitor for the upcoming RFQ announcement to submit their qualifications for consideration.

The contract includes a partial small business set-aside designation, with the government intending to award up to five total Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts over a five-year period, of which two contracts are reserved exclusively for small business concerns. The specific award values and budget ranges have not been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. This opportunity is classified under NAICS Code 541330 (Engineering Services) and PSC Code C211 (Architect and Engineering—General). Qualified architect-engineer firms of all sizes are encouraged to prepare their qualifications submissions in advance of the RFQ release, particularly small businesses interested in competing for the reserved contract awards.
