Adams & Associates, LLC

Adams & Associates, LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Fort Collins, Colorado, provides value engineering and architectural/engineering consulting services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor on 83 awards (99% of recent footprint). The firm delivers value engineering studies, workshops, and cost-optimization analyses using SAVE International methodologies and Certified Value Specialist personnel across military installations, civil works projects, and federal infrastructure initiatives, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on multiple IDIQs.

The customer concentration is extreme and singular: the Army Corps of Engineers accounts for 100% of combined potential value across all 80 named Corps awards. Within the Corps, three district-level contracting offices dominate: Louisville District (44 awards, $36 million combined potential value), Omaha District (14 awards, $31.1 million), and the undifferentiated Corps entity (19 awards, $1.4 million). The two top districts track closely on both volume and dollars — Louisville leads in both counts — and together account for 96% of all awards by count and drive $67.1 million of the $69 million total portfolio value. Chicago and Wilmington districts round out the active footprint with two awards each at $228 thousand and $130 thousand respectively.

Adams & Associates holds three active IDIQ vehicles with the Corps totaling $50 million in aggregate ceiling value. The largest is a $20 million Indefinite Delivery Contract (W912QR25D0005) awarded by Omaha District on January 7, 2025, running through January 2, 2032, designated as Total Small Business multiple-award and supporting the Omaha District value engineering program with capacity extended to other Northwestern Division districts. A $10 million Louisville District IDIQ (W912QR23D0006, designated Total Small Business, running through October 31, 2027) anchors 46 task orders totaling $3 million in combined potential value across the vehicle portfolio. A third vehicle (W912QR21D0047) carries 16 task orders worth $1.6 million. Representative delivery order work includes a $157,653 sediment remediation value engineering study for Milwaukee Estuary Area of Concern under Chicago District (December 2025), a $148,180 value management workshop for Winslow, Arizona under Louisville District (April 2026), a $145,666 value engineering study for the Army Reserve Center in Los Alamitos, California under Louisville District (November 2025), and a $122,794 value engineering workshop for an Equipment Concentration Site complex at Fort Carson, Colorado under Louisville District (August 2025). All work is performed on firm fixed-price bases under Total Small Business or unrestricted set-aside designations.

Activity has remained relatively flat: seven awards in 2022, declining to six in 2023, recovering to nine in 2024, then softening to eight in 2025. Only two awards have been issued in 2026 year-to-date. Four awards worth $413 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. In its single subcontractor role, Adams & Associates subcontracts to CDM Federal Programs Corporation on a Department of Labor Campus Site and Infrastructure design package for the Atlanta Job Corps Center (November 2024). The firm competes almost entirely through direct prime relationships on Corps vehicle platforms and does not maintain significant sub-engagement posture. Engineering Services (NAICS-wide) and Architect and Engineering—General (PSC 14) account for the entire portfolio.
