FMG Newsroom

The Department of State has obligated $12,526,440 to date under a delivery order with Scientific Research Corporation, according to federal spending records. The order (award ID SAQMMA17F1030) was issued under an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract (SAQMMA13D0078) originally signed March 17, 2017, with obligation totals last updated in USAspending.gov records as of July 3, 2026.

Federal records describe the scope as providing "one civil engineer for a period of 60 months to augment the [Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations] staff in Beirut, Lebanon." The Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) manages the design, construction, and maintenance of U.S. diplomatic facilities abroad.

For GovCon practitioners in the engineering and overseas facilities-support space, the sustained obligation level reflects the State Department's ongoing reliance on individual technical-staffing task orders to support embassy and diplomatic facility operations in specific overseas posts. The order falls under NAICS code 541330, "Engineering Services," and product/service code R425, and was competed with one offer received.

According to federal records, the order's base and all options total $12,526,439.52, meaning current obligations represent the full value of the delivery order. The period of performance is on file through July 15, 2027.
