Procurement information
How Arkansas manufacturing work gets procured.
The common contracting vehicles for manufacturing engineering and construction in Arkansas. Match your scope, schedule, and risk profile to the vehicle before issuing an RFQ.

Federally funded manufacturing programs (DOE, DOT, USACE, EPA) are commonly executed under IDIQ contracts with task-order pricing on Arkansas sites.
Master Service Agreements
Operators in Arkansas engage engineering and EPC firms under multi-year MSAs covering capital, sustaining, and emergency response manufacturing scopes.
EPC and EPCM
Greenfield and major brownfield manufacturing projects in Arkansas are routinely delivered under lump-sum EPC or reimbursable EPCM contracts with a single integrated team.
Owner's engineer
Owners retain independent manufacturing P.E.s in Arkansas for design review, constructability, schedule and cost validation, and on-site representation through commissioning.
Direct P.E. engagement
Smaller Arkansas manufacturing scopes — feasibility, study, peer review, expert testimony — are engaged directly with a licensed P.E. on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis.
Typical fee range
$manufacturing engineering fees in Arkansas typically run 4–10% of TIC for greenfield work and 8–15% for brownfield/modernization scopes.
Lead time
