Parsons–Versar Secures $75M Middle East Construction Support Contract for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
MIDDLE EAST — Parsons Corporation and Versar, Inc. have secured a major win overseas with a $75 million contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), delivering critical construction phase support services (CPSS) in the Middle East.
The contract—awarded through the USACE Transatlantic Middle East District—continues a longstanding partnership in the region, supporting U.S. defense infrastructure, foreign military sales (FMS), and military construction programs throughout CENTCOM’s area of responsibility.
“This award marks the third CPSS contract Parsons and Versar have won together,” said Carey Smith, Chair, President, and CEO of Parsons. “We are proud to continue delivering safe, secure, and resilient solutions that strengthen U.S. and allied military presence abroad.”
What the Contract Covers
The new CPSS III contract will provide the following services across U.S. and allied bases in the region:
- Quality assurance and site inspections
- Project engineering and oversight
- Construction management
- Cost and schedule control
- Safety and environmental compliance
- Administrative support to USACE project delivery teams
The contract builds upon a decade of past performance, during which the Parsons–Versar team executed over 60 task orders supporting complex military construction throughout the Middle East, including in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE.
Strategic Importance for U.S. Military Operations
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plays a critical role in building and maintaining the infrastructure backbone of forward-operating bases, training sites, and partner-nation support hubs. By outsourcing this responsibility to seasoned engineering firms like Parsons and Versar, USACE ensures continuity of mission across volatile environments.
The CPSS III contract aligns with broader U.S. strategic objectives in the region, particularly amid growing infrastructure development around foreign military sales programs and allied force modernization.
Why This Matters to Civilian Contractors
For overseas civilian contractors, this contract highlights continued demand for engineering, quality assurance, safety, and administrative professionals in CENTCOM locations. Projects supported under CPSS often lead to follow-on subcontracting opportunities for skilled U.S. citizens with overseas clearance eligibility.
If you’re a contractor with engineering, safety, or QA/QC experience looking to work in the Middle East, this contract may lead to new hiring waves in the coming months.
