AJC Architects, P.C.

AJC Architects, P.C., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, operates as a prime contractor specializing in architectural and engineering design services for federal facilities, with a portfolio spanning 318 prime awards across nineteen customer agencies and no subcontract exposure. The firm delivers architect-engineer services through full-and-open competition (100% of recent awards are non-set-aside), with technical expertise concentrated in facility design, infrastructure renovation, pre-design investigations, and construction administration for military installations and civilian research facilities across the western United States and beyond. AJC Architects has been a registered federal contractor since 2001.

The customer base is heavily skewed toward Department of Defense and Department of Interior programs. The Air Force Sustainment Center dominates by dollar value, accounting for $193.6 million (79% of combined potential value) across 37 awards, anchored by a recently awarded $136 million IDIQ for architect-engineer services at Hill Air Force Base running through April 2031. The National Park Service National Office ranks second by both award count (57 awards) and second by dollars ($22.7 million), followed by the USDA Agricultural Research Service Pacific West Area ($10.3 million across six awards). Together, these three customer agencies account for 94% of combined potential value. AJC Architects holds a $10 million USDA ARS Pacific West Area IDIQ (set aside for small business, through June 2029) and a $136 million Hill AFB IDIQ (full-and-open, through April 2031). Beyond these anchor vehicles, AJC executes task orders under five named multiple-award IDIQs: the Department of Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region A-E IDIQ (71 task orders, $8.7 million), the National Park Service National Office A-E IDIQ (56 task orders, $6.1 million), and three older USDA Agricultural Research Service IDIQs.

Representative prime work includes a $1.12 million full-and-open delivery order from the Air Force for architectural and engineering design services on the Building 883 Youth Center at Hill Air Force Base (awarded September 2023, completion January 2026); a $1.02 million full-and-open National Park Service delivery order for design-development and construction-document services to replace a dilapidated visitor center at Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument in Montana (awarded September 2022, completion May 2024); a $753,000 delivery order from the National Park Service Intermountain Region for water-system replacement design and construction documents at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Arizona (awarded May 2023, completion August 2024); and a $395,838 Total Small Business set-aside delivery order from the National Park Service for construction-phase architect-engineer services supporting Little Bighorn Battlefield visitor center replacement (awarded April 2024, completion November 2026). More recent work includes a $408,904 full-and-open Air Force delivery order for HVAC repair design and Title I A-E services at Hill AFB Building 505 (awarded December 2024, completion September 2026) and a $62,585 Total Small Business set-aside delivery order from USDA ARS Pacific West Area for solar-facility design and construction administration in Tucson, Arizona (awarded August 2025, completion April 2027).

Activity has declined in recent years—ten awards in 2024 down to four in 2026 year-to-date—and the recompete cliff is minimal: only four awards ($650,000 combined potential value) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. The firm's service-contract footprint, captured in the Service Contract Inventory dataset above the $150,000 reporting threshold, shows SCI-reported invoicing of $1.3 million in FY2024 across 3.9 FTEs on prime contracts. The FTE trajectory has compressed from 5.5 in FY2023 to 3.9 in FY2024. Median government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts run around $311/hr, with senior labor priced through approximately $519/hr and junior labor floor around $113/hr. The firm builds its own delivery teams: across SCI-reportable prime contracts, zero percent of hours are performed by named subcontractors, and AJC holds no sub-awards in the portfolio. The category concentration is heavily weighted toward traditional architectural services (227 awards under NAICS 541310) and engineering services (85 awards), with PSC codes clustered around architect-and-engineering general work (landscaping, interior layout, design, drafting, and miscellaneous buildings).
