USACE Selects Versar for Fire, Electrical and Facilities Assessment IDIQ

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) awarded Versar a firm-fixed-price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with an $80 million ceiling for safety and facilities assessment work. The scope covers Task Force Safety Assessments of fire and electricity, as well as assessments against Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC). The award establishes a long-term vehicle for USACE to order assessment services as requirements arise, with an estimated completion date of April 29, 2032. The USACE Middle East District is the contracting activity under contract W912ER-27-D-A001.

The IDIQ structure is central to understanding the award’s procurement value. The $80 million is a maximum potential value, not an obligation at award or a guarantee that Versar will receive that amount. Versar will compete for individual task orders issued under the vehicle, and each order will establish its specific scope, location and funding. Consequently, the contract gives Versar access to potential work over several years, while the actual volume and distribution of projects depend on future requirements, competition and task-order awards.

USACE solicited proposals through the internet and received three proposals. That competition is relevant to firms tracking follow-on opportunities: the broader vehicle has been awarded, but task-order competitions will determine how work is allocated. Companies seeking to participate in this market should evaluate their ability to conduct fire protection and electrical safety assessments, inspect facilities, and document compliance with UFC requirements. The source does not identify the locations of planned assessments, so contractors should avoid assuming a specific geographic footprint until task orders provide those details.

UFC provides standards used across U.S. Department of Defense facilities and infrastructure for planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration and modernization. Assessments under this contract can help identify safety deficiencies, infrastructure risks, maintenance needs and corrective actions. For industry, the award signals continued demand for standardized evaluation of military facilities, particularly fire protection, electrical systems and compliance with DoD facility requirements. It also provides a practical planning horizon through 2032, although the presence of a long-duration vehicle does not itself establish a predictable workload or guaranteed revenue stream.

• Awarding agency: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded Versar the assessment IDIQ; the USACE Middle East District is the contracting activity.
• Contract identifier: W912ER-27-D-A001; the solicitation received three proposals after being posted through the internet.
• Ceiling: The firm-fixed-price IDIQ has an $80 million maximum potential value, not $80 million in guaranteed or immediately obligated funds.
• Work allocation: Versar must compete for individual task orders; orders will determine actual requirements, scope and funding.
• Scope: Task Force Safety Assessments of fire and electricity, plus facilities assessments against Unified Facilities Criteria.
• Performance horizon: The estimated completion date is April 29, 2032, offering a multi-year vehicle but not a guaranteed work schedule.
• Locations: Individual assessment locations have not been assigned in the reported award details and will be established through task orders.
• Contractor readiness: Prospective task-order competitors should assess relevant fire safety, electrical engineering, facilities inspection and UFC compliance capabilities.
• Market implication: The work supports identification of safety deficiencies, infrastructure risks, maintenance requirements and corrective actions across facilities supported by USACE.
• Planning takeaway: Track task-order announcements and funding actions rather than treating the ceiling as forecastable revenue; geographic and workload visibility will emerge as orders are issued.
