Seven joint ventures and seven independent firms have won spots on a potential $2 billion contract vehicle to provide architectural and engineering services to the U.S. Air Force’s airfield infrastructure projects worldwide.
The 772nd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron received 25 proposals for Pool 1 of the AE-Next acquisition program via full and open competition and obligated $42,000 for the first task order, the Department of Defense said Wednesday.
DOD noted that the multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract has a 10-year ordering period that took effect July 30 and the IDIQ vehicle includes a five-year option period slated to commence on July 29, 2031.
The AE-Next Pool 1 awardees are:
- ADC Engineering
- Aviation Engineers joint venture
- Baker-Stanley-Cardno JV
- Burns & McDonnell

This group of contractors will focus on helping the service branch plan, design, inspect and engineer runways, taxiways, aprons, landing zones and ancillary facilities across the globe.
The Air Force Installation Contracting Center initially awarded Pool 4 positions to 17 companies in February and is working with Air Force Civil Engineer Center to select vendors for the AE-Next program’s remaining two pools.
