Black & Veatch - GEI JV

Black & Veatch - GEI JV, doing business as Black & Veatch - Tehama, holds a $90 million multiple-award IDIQ prime contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for architect-engineer and civil engineering services supporting the Corps' dam safety modification program, and operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) with no identified subcontractors. The joint venture, headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, competes on full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations across all named awards.

Black & Veatch - Tehama's capability portfolio centers on civil, structural, geotechnical, hydraulic, and mechanical engineering for water infrastructure projects, with specific expertise in dam safety design, levee safety formal inspections, isolation gates and pump station design, and flood damage reduction engineering. Recent delivery orders under the National Dam Safety Engineering and Design Services IDIQ include a $15.5 million firm fixed price order (awarded February 2026, completion February 2028) for architect-engineer services to finalize the design of three isolation gates and one pump station for the Modified Central City Project in Fort Worth; a $5.3 million order (July 2025, completion October 2026) for preliminary design phase services covering two dam structures, a stilling basin, channel, creek expansion, and an optional lock facility on the Upper Trinity River in Fort Worth and Lakeside, Texas; and a $877,057 order (October 2025, completion April 2026) for levee safety formal inspections on nine levee systems including Riversburg, Greentown, and Metroville in Huntington, West Virginia.

Customer concentration is entirely within the Army Corps of Engineers ecosystem. The source identifies three funding entities — the Corps as the broader contracting agency ($94.3 million across two awards), Engineering District Fort Worth ($20.8 million across two awards), and Engineering District Huntington ($1.1 million across three awards) — with 100% of recent awards flowing from USACE variants. The National Dam Safety Engineering and Design Services IDIQ is the sole parent vehicle in the portfolio, with six task orders issued as of the source date, collectively valued at $26.2 million against the $90 million ceiling. Activity has been sporadic: two awards in 2022, one in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in early 2026. Three awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $21 million and face recompete exposure. The combined potential value across all seven awards is $116.2 million, with $24.2 million obligated to date (21% utilization).

Black & Veatch - Tehama is a child entity under Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp., a for-profit corporate parent headquartered in Leawood, Kansas. The parent holds additional USACE IDIQ vehicles and federal contracting capacity beyond the Tehama joint venture's footprint.
