Black & Veatch Corporation

Black & Veatch Corporation, a subsidiary of BVH, Inc. and parent to Black & Veatch Construction Inc., is an engineering and environmental services firm headquartered in Leawood, Kansas that serves federal agencies primarily as a prime recipient on grants and as a prime contractor on Army Corps of Engineers task orders, with minor subcontractor engagement on energy-sector grant work. The vendor operates as a for-profit corporate entity and does not hold SBA set-aside certifications; it competes in full-and-open procurements and grant competitions.

Black & Veatch's federal footprint centers on engineering services — the top NAICS category across 28 awards — with secondary exposure in legal services, scientific consulting, and technical support. The vendor's recent grant work includes a $1.8 million Department of Energy Office of Fossil Energy cooperative agreement (DE-FE0032101, ultimate completion June 30, 2024) for scale-up and site-specific engineering design of direct air capture technology to sequester at least 100,000 tonnes per year of CO2. Black & Veatch also serves as a sub-recipient on energy infrastructure and carbon capture programs, including DOE GridFAST Express technical assistance and engineering support under an Electric Power Research Institute prime grant and direct air capture technology integration work under a Chevron USA prime award.

Customer concentration is moderate and geographically dispersed across Army Corps of Engineers district offices. The top five customers by award count account for 72% of recent awards, led by the Army Corps of Engineers' Engineering District Louisville (9 awards, $127 thousand combined potential value) and the Army Corps of Engineers itself (8 awards). By potential value, GSA Federal Acquisition Service leads at $650 thousand across one award, followed by the Army Corps of Engineers' Engineering District Chicago (8 awards, $210 thousand combined potential value). The vendor holds seats on three Army Corps Indefinite Delivery Contracts: W912P605D0003 (17 task orders, $513 thousand combined potential value), DACW2300D0002 (8 task orders), and DACW4999D0005 (1 task order). The primary service delivery categories are architect-and-engineering services for landscape and interior design (14 awards) and general architect-and-engineering work (14 awards), with smaller pockets of expert witness and technical support engagement.

Activity in the source data spans from 2000 to present, with sparse recent volume — one award in 2021, one in 2024, and two in 2025 — reflecting either a narrow slice of the broader Black & Veatch business or a shift in federal engagement posture. Combined potential value across all awards totals $1.8 million, but combined obligated dollars reach $23.1 million, indicating that invoiced revenue substantially exceeds potential value on task orders that have flowed to completion.
