BAI Engineers LLC

BAI Engineers LLC, a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Greenwood Village, Colorado, delivers architect-engineering and water-infrastructure design services to the Indian Health Service as a prime contractor on a single-award IDIQ vehicle and subordinate task orders. The firm operates overwhelmingly as a prime (34 of 35 recent awards, 97%), with nearly all work routed through IHS sanitation facilities and water-treatment programs serving Native American communities.

BAI Engineers holds a recently renewed $8 million single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with IHS awarded November 12, 2025 (set-aside for total small business), which supersedes a prior $5 million IDIQ established in May 2020. The bulk of the vendor's task-order workload flows from this vehicle: 28 task orders valued at $5.5 million in combined potential value against the earlier IDIQ (contract 75H70120D00024) and 2 task orders at $1.8 million against a second IHS vehicle (75H70126D00002). Representative recent delivery-order awards include a $1.5 million firm-fixed-price order (July 6, 2026) for 100% design services at the Dry Creek Water Treatment Plant in Portland, Oregon; a $1.07 million award (January 10, 2025) for the Jemez Wastewater Reclamation Facility project in Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, running through June 2031; a $913 thousand order (September 20, 2024) for design of a new water treatment plant serving the Colorado River Indian Tribes in Parker, Arizona; a $654 thousand task order (October 13, 2023) for Dry Creek Water Treatment Plant Replacement design in Warm Springs, Oregon; and a $485 thousand delivery order (February 13, 2024) for Zuni Sewer Main Rehabilitation Phase 1 design. Work spans planning, design, geotechnical assessment, condition evaluation, construction oversight, and operations-and-maintenance technical assistance across water distribution, sewer collection, wastewater treatment, and water-tank infrastructure.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Indian Health Service accounts for 100% of the 34 prime awards (34 awards, $20.3 million combined potential value) and 100% of the vendor's distinct customer agencies. A single sub-award of marginal scale (EPA Region 6 drinking-water technical assistance to tribes under Eastern Research Group Inc., March 4, 2026) rounds out the portfolio. Awards span 2022–2026 with a 2024 peak (8 awards) and a notable slowdown in 2025 (2 awards) following the prior-IDIQ's April 2025 expiration; activity has resumed in 2026 under the renewed vehicle. Three awards with ultimate completion dates inside the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $2.2 million and face recompete risk.

Service Contract Inventory reporting shows minimal SCI-captured activity: $321 thousand in invoiced revenue in FY2024 across 1.0 FTE, with government-paid rates at $146.57/hr. SCI underreporting is likely — the dataset covers federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes most goods and fixed-price design work typical of architect-engineering delivery orders — and should not be treated as representative of the firm's full federal revenue or workforce scale. The vendor does not maintain a visible subcontractor footprint on its prime contracts; across SCI-reportable primes, zero percent of hours are sub-performed. The 2026 IDIQ renewal with an expanded $8 million ceiling from the prior $5 million vehicle signals sustained confidence and program growth, though the compressed 2025 award count suggests transition-related timing friction between contract vehicles.
