Architectural Design West PC

Architectural Design West PC, doing business as Design West Architects, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business that delivers architectural, engineering, and professional services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, the firm operates across multiple federal customers in a full-and-open posture, holding no set-aside designations on its recent awards despite its small-business status.

Design West Architects' capability footprint centers on facility condition assessments, building system design, Title I and Title II architectural-engineering services, mechanical and electrical system evaluations, security hardening studies, water system remediation, and infrastructure maintenance planning. Recent representative work includes a $1.9 million delivery order from the Air Force Sustainment Center in March 2026 for civil engineer group facility support at Hill Air Force Base, a $50 million Department of Interior Architecture and Engineering Services MATOC awarded in September 2022 for facility improvements across federal lands running through September 2027, and a $45.8 million General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 8 Architecture and Engineering IDIQ supporting federal building renovations, water system studies, and security upgrades across Utah facilities including the IRS Service Center in Ogden and the Wallace F. Bennett Federal Building in Salt Lake City.

Customer concentration splits between defense and civilian infrastructure. The Air Force Materiel Command anchors the potential-value ranking with $52.9 million across eight awards, followed by the Department of Interior at $50 million (the single MATOC vehicle), GSA Region 8 at $45.8 million, and the Department of Veterans Affairs at $25.2 million. The Air Force Sustainment Center dominates award count with twenty orders valued at $5.7 million combined, reflecting a pattern of smaller, recurring task orders rather than consolidation into fewer large vehicles. Together, the top five customer agencies account for 94 percent of combined potential value.

Design West Architects holds three primary parent vehicles: the DOI MATOC ($50 million, small-business set-aside, running through September 2027), the GSA Public Buildings Service R8 A&E IDIQ ($45.8 million, small-business set-aside, supporting Region 8 facility projects), and the Hill Air Force Base Architecture and Engineering Services IDIQ supporting the Air Force Sustainment Center with fifteen task orders valued at $6 million combined. An older Air Force vehicle (FA820113D0008) carries sixteen task orders at $1.5 million combined potential value. Task orders across these vehicles typically range from $20,000 to $1.9 million, reflecting Design West's positioning as a regional A&E service provider for facility maintenance and study work rather than large-scale design-build or construction management programs.

Activity declined sharply in 2025 and 2026: six awards in 2022, eight in 2023 and 2024, dropping to one award in 2025 and two in 2026 year-to-date. The combined potential value across all 133 awards in the portfolio reaches $190.7 million, but only $14.2 million (7 percent) has been obligated, indicating a backlog of optioned task orders rather than invoiced work. The firm's footprint shows no subcontract awards and no receipt of federal grants; all work flows through prime delivery orders and IDIQ task orders. Primary NAICS concentration sits in Architectural Services (89 awards) with secondary exposure in Engineering Services (4 awards). PSC coding emphasizes engineering drafting, landscape and interior design, management engineering, and facility inspection work. The vendor maintains zero sub-award activity across the source portfolio, operating as a direct service provider rather than a prime-contractor teaming partner.
