Baker Jacobs JV

Baker Jacobs JV, a joint venture subsidiary of Michael Baker International, Inc., operates as a prime contractor delivering architect-engineer services for military facility design, infrastructure planning, and construction-phase technical support to the Department of Army Corps of Engineers and Department of Navy, competing on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. The joint venture is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and holds primary NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services) and PSC C111 (Architect-Engineer Services).

Baker Jacobs JV operates exclusively as a prime contractor — all twelve awards in the source are prime contracts or IDIQs with zero subcontract activity. Customer concentration is extreme: the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Middle East accounts for 8 of 12 awards and $315 million of the $419.8 million combined potential value (75% of portfolio), anchored by a $240 million Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded February 19, 2025, running through February 2030. The Department of Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command represents the second customer with 2 awards totaling $95 million in potential value, including a newly awarded $95 million single-award IDIQ for architect-engineer services to general-type facilities throughout the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command area of operations worldwide, signed April 14, 2026, with ultimate completion April 13, 2031. The Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Division Transatlantic and Engineering District St. Louis complete the customer set with $8.7 million and $1 million respectively.

Concrete recent work illustrates the portfolio. Under the Middle East District $240 million IDIQ, Baker Jacobs JV delivered a $406,653 delivery order (April 2023, completed July 2024) for architect-engineer services developing a flightline and support facilities district plan at Muwaffaq-Salti Air Base in Jordan; a $272,248 delivery order (June 2022, completed August 2024) for architect-engineer construction-phase support reviewing and responding to twenty submittals and requests for information at Naval Support Activity Bahrain; and a $5,000 minimum-guarantee delivery order (March 2025, completing February 2028) for architect-engineer general design services in Winchester, Virginia. Under the newly awarded NAVFAC $95 million IDIQ, a $10,000 delivery order was issued April 14, 2026, with place of performance in Pittsburgh and completion April 13, 2027. The $8.7 million Transatlantic contract (September 2021, extended through June 2026) includes architect-engineer technical services and ten technical request-for-information reviews.

Activity has remained sparse — one or two awards per year from 2021 through 2023, accelerating to two awards each in 2025 and 2026. The two awards completing inside the next twenty-four months carry minimal combined potential value ($15 thousand), presenting no significant recompete cliff. Place of performance spans Continental U.S. locations (Pittsburgh, Winchester, Virginia) and international sites within the Middle East and Transatlantic areas of responsibility. The parent company, Michael Baker International, is a for-profit corporate entity with its own federal contracting footprint and grant-recipient activity.
