Architect-engineer
(A-E) refers to a joint provision of architect-engineer services, (A-E
services) that are usually related to services provided to a U.S. military
department or agency. A-E services are defined under the Brooks Act, a 1972
federal law that imposed requirements for the selection of government
contracted architecture and engineering firms.
Because engineering services may be relevant
to IT, A-E has an IT component.
The demand for A-E
services by military or government clients covers a broad range of services.
One example is an IT component, where engineering services may be relevant to
some aspect of IT. Typically, construction consulting roles require A-E
services, including related document drafts, cost estimate provisioning and
other critical project support.
A-E services are governed by specific rules
related to government contracting. One way that A-E services are provided is
under an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, which allows
for an undefined volume in a fixed amount of time.
