Affiliated Engineers Metro DC, Inc.

Affiliated Engineers Metro DC, Inc., a subsidiary of Affiliated Engineers Inc., provides architectural and engineering services to the National Institutes of Health as a prime contractor on the NIH Architect Engineering MATOC, a $400 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract running through June 2032. The vendor operates exclusively in full-and-open competition with no SBA set-asides across its prime footprint (98% of awards); it is headquartered in Rockville, Maryland and delivers work across NIH's Bethesda campus, Research Triangle Park facility in North Carolina, and Fort Detrick, with place of performance spanning North Bethesda, Bethesda, Durham, and Frederick, Maryland.

Customer concentration is near-total: the National Institutes of Health accounts for 100% of awards by count and combined potential value across two sub-organizations—NIH Construction (56 awards, $843 million combined potential value) and the Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (3 awards, $1.6 million). Affiliated Engineers Metro DC holds a seat on the NIH Architect Engineering MATOC and places 54 task orders (combined potential value $42.6 million) against that vehicle, with smaller footprints on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (3 task orders, $95 thousand) and a secondary IDC (2 task orders, $1.9 million). The vendor's capability scope centers on architectural and engineering services including feasibility studies, design phases, construction quality management, commissioning support, peer reviews, and post-design services for federal research infrastructure. Recent representative work includes a $12.4 million design engagement for central utility plant electrical upgrade and chiller/cooling tower replacement at the Bethesda campus (awarded October 2023), a $1.9 million construction quality management and commissioning order for reheat water pipe replacement (awarded November 2023), a $1.065 million design order for cafeteria renovation and clinic expansion at Building 10 (awarded August 2024), and a $1.839 million electrical manhole survey study (awarded September 2022).

Activity has trended upward through FY2024 (15 awards that year) before contracting to 3 awards in FY2025 and 9 year-to-date in FY2026. Eighteen awards carrying combined potential value of $35.2 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, surfacing near-term recompete exposure and cash-flow concentration risk. SCI-reported invoicing on prime service contracts has ramped from $2 million in FY2022 to $18.6 million in FY2025; the vendor delivered roughly 5.5 FTEs in FY2024 and 4.8 FTEs in FY2025 on SCI-reportable work. Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts span a median of $354.30 per hour, with senior labor commanding rates through $23,820 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor performs 100% of labor internally with no subcontractor hours reported, reflecting an integrated delivery model with no sub engagement. The vendor holds one named sub award with Booz Allen Hamilton for engineering renovations and construction support services (awarded December 2024) under a comprehensive infrastructure support vehicle, representing 2% of the total award portfolio and reflecting a predominantly prime posture with minimal sub exposure.
