WSP E&Is - HDR Joint Venture

WSP E&Is - HDR Joint Venture, a foreign-owned partnership based in Raleigh, North Carolina, provides architectural and engineering services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across infrastructure design, facility maintenance, environmental planning, and technical feasibility studies. The joint venture competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations.

The joint venture is a child entity of WSP USA Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit organization headquartered in New York. WSP E&Is - HDR Joint Venture was registered in the System for Award Management in May 2016 as a strategic partnership between WSP and HDR, two established engineering firms. The vendor operates primarily under NAICS 541512 (Engineering Services), with 67 of 68 recent awards classified as engineering services and the remainder as other management consulting.

Customer concentration centers heavily on the Department of Homeland Security. The top five funding agencies account for 99% of recent awards, dominated by USCG (50 awards, $225.9 million combined potential value) and Defense Logistics Agency Energy (5 awards, $154.9 million combined potential value). Customs and Border Protection placed 7 awards worth $10.5 million, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center 4 awards worth $3 million, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services 1 award worth $1.7 million. The two rankings diverge notably: DLA Energy concentrates far more dollars than its five awards suggest, anchoring most of the $154.9 million potential value in a small number of high-dollar awards, while USCG drives volume across numerous smaller task orders.

The joint venture places nearly all work under two parent vehicles. The USCG Nationwide A&E Services 2017-2022 IDIQ holds 60 task orders carrying $40.9 million combined potential value and serves as the parent vehicle for work with the Coast Guard, Customs and Border Protection, Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, and other agencies executing delivery orders under that master contract. A secondary vehicle, Indefinite Delivery Contract N3943020D2249, carries 5 task orders worth $5.5 million. Recent representative work includes a $3.995 million delivery order from USCG for bridging documents on the Academy Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Academic Building in New London, Connecticut (awarded January 2026, completion June 2026); a $3.561 million delivery order from USCG for land survey, hydrographic survey, geotechnical report, and environmental testing services at various sites (awarded September 2025, completion March 2026); a $4.202 million delivery order from the Department of Defense for a Pipeline Integrity Management Plan Update at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni in Japan (awarded June 2025, completion June 2026); and a $1.691 million delivery order from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center for architectural and engineering design of a U.S. Border Patrol Academy Processing Center in Artesia, New Mexico (awarded October 2023, completion June 2025).

Activity has declined substantially in recent years. The joint venture received 6 awards in 2022, 4 in 2023, 4 in 2024, 4 in 2025, and 1 through January 2026. Five awards with combined potential value of $3.1 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure. Service Contract Inventory records show SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $1.6 million in FY2022, declining to $719 thousand in FY2023 and $430 thousand in FY2024, with reported FTE counts of 4.0, 1.8, and 1.1 across those fiscal years respectively. These figures represent a strict subset of the joint venture's federal services revenue and do not reflect the full value of delivery orders under the parent USCG IDIQ, which carries substantially higher dollar magnitude. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $125.00/hr to a median of $186.80/hr and a 90th percentile of $239.50/hr. Across prime contracts captured in SCI, subcontractors performed 5% of total contractor hours, with two named subcontractors reported; the joint venture builds most delivery teams internally rather than relying on extensive subcontracting.
