Architrave P.C.

Architrave P.C., doing business as Architrave PC Architects, is a woman-owned small business headquartered in Washington, D.C., providing architectural, engineering design, and construction services to civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor on delivery orders and indefinite-delivery contracts. The firm operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and competes under both total small business set-asides and full-and-open designations; women-owned small business (WOSB) status recurs across its prime footprint and anchors eligibility for set-aside work.

Architrave's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Smithsonian Institution and the General Services Administration's National Capital Region office. The Smithsonian accounts for 203 awards and $26.9 million in combined potential value, while GSA's National Capital Region holds 26 awards and $20.8 million combined potential value — together representing roughly 78% of the firm's award count. The Department of Justice's Justice Management Division (11 awards, $8.8 million), the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (3 awards, $5.5 million), and the Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology round out the top five by potential value. The two rankings track closely: the Smithsonian dominates both volume and dollars, and the top five customers account for 91% of combined potential value across all awards.

Work is concentrated in architectural services (214 awards by NAICS 5413120) and structural engineering (37 awards). Representative recent awards include a $335,301 no-set-aside delivery order with the Smithsonian (September 2024) for spring water system improvements and security upgrades at the National Zoo in Front Royal, Virginia; a $418,433.89 total small business set-aside delivery order with GSA National Capital Region (May 2023) for waterproofing and structural repairs to the switchgear room at GSA headquarters in Washington, D.C.; a $404,063 no-set-aside delivery order with the Department of Justice's Justice Management Division (September 2022) for architectural and engineering design of windows and bollards; and a $274,480.05 no-set-aside delivery order with the Department of Commerce (May 2024) for a technical survey and study of sub-basement water intrusion at the Herbert C. Hoover Building.

Architrave holds two primary indefinite-delivery vehicles: a $1 total small business set-aside IDIQ with the Smithsonian Institution (awarded March 2023, running through March 2033) for multidiscipline architect-engineer services, and a $1.2 million single-award IDIQ with the Justice Management Division (awarded July 2023, completion June 2025) for architectural and engineering services supporting facility design, renovation, and construction projects. The Smithsonian IDIQ has generated 43 task orders worth $17.2 million in combined potential value. Additional parent vehicles include a Basic Ordering Agreement F0336CC10023 under the Smithsonian (78 task orders, $11.2 million combined potential value) and an IDC 47PF0019D0048 (17 task orders, $4.8 million combined potential value). On these vehicles and related delivery orders, Architrave engages subcontractors for specialized support: Mcmullan & Associates Inc. for structural engineering and project management, Vertical Access LLC for site surveys and technical drawings, and Seal Engineering, Inc. for waterproofing engineering on facility restoration projects.

Activity has been steady but with recent deceleration: 8 awards in 2021, 12 in 2022, 10 in 2023, 9 in 2024, and 2 through August 2026. Six awards (combined potential value $4.8 million) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete risk in that window. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts, Architrave invoiced $735 thousand in FY2023, $1.9 million in FY2024, and $1.1 million in FY2025 — spanning 2.8, 3.0, and 2.1 FTEs respectively. On government-paid hourly rates for SCI-reportable prime contracts, the median rate ran $246.58 per hour, with senior labor pricing reaching $728.06 per hour and junior labor priced around $56.54 per hour. The firm self-performed all reported hours; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, zero percent of contractor hours were subcontracted.
