About Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp.

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp., through its Federal Services Division operating as Black & Veatch Architects LLC, is a for-profit engineering, procurement, and construction firm headquartered in Leawood, Kansas, that delivers architectural and engineering services to federal defense, energy, water, and infrastructure clients as a prime contractor across a portfolio exceeding $20 billion in combined potential value. The vendor competes in full and open competition without set-aside designations, holding a dominant position across multiple large indefinite delivery vehicles and task-order programs with the Department of Defense, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.

The vendor's core capability footprint centers on military infrastructure design, renovation, and modernization; ballistic missile defense program support; facility engineering and construction management; energy resilience and microgrid design; overseas military construction under Status of Forces Agreement programs; and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threat reduction services. Representative work spans a $20.6 million delivery order for architectural and engineering design services for the Weapons Generation Facility at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas (Air Force, 2025); a $26.5 million definitive contract for architect-engineer design services supporting Phase V of the Acquisition Management Complex in Louisville, Kentucky (Army Corps of Engineers, 2024); a $24.3 million delivery order for Electronic Integrated Disease Surveillance System and Pathogen Asset Control System implementation and sustainment globally (Defense Threat Reduction Agency, 2023); and a $15.4 million delivery order for 35 percent design services at Katterbach Kaserne in Germany (Army Corps of Engineers, 2024). The vendor also delivers biosafety and biosecurity laboratory construction and capacity-building programs across partner nations through the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's Cooperative Threat Reduction program, including a $14.5 million award for laboratory construction in Senegal (2022) and an $11.1 million award for upgrades and training in Cameroon (2021).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to defense and military infrastructure. The top five funding agencies by potential value account for approximately 49 percent of the combined portfolio: the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (46 awards, $6.32 billion), the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville (99 awards, $1.42 billion), the Army European Command (149 awards, $1.1 billion), the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Europe (34 awards, $744.2 million), and EPA Region 4 (107 awards, $374.1 million). By award count, the Army (187 awards), Army European Command (149 awards), and Army Corps of Engineers (142 awards) dominate, reflecting the vendor's embedded position in overseas military facility sustainment and domestic base modernization initiatives.

Black & Veatch holds 18 active IDIQs and multiple GSA Schedule positions anchoring its federal footprint. Named parent vehicles include a $400 million Missile Defense Architect-Engineer Services contract (Army Corps of Engineers, 2026); a $3.5 billion Cooperative Threat Reduction Integrating Contracts IV vehicle (Defense Threat Reduction Agency, 2025); a $248.4 million General Architect-Engineering Services contract for military construction across eight European countries (Army Corps of Engineers Europe District, 2025); a $249 million multiple-award contract for ballistic missile defense program architectural and engineering services (Army Corps of Engineers, 2025); a $249 million contract for energy resilience and conservation investment program services (Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville, 2025); a $120 million single-award contract for architecture and engineering services supporting intelligence and military design communities (Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District, 2024); an $850 million Assessment, Exercise, and Modeling and Simulation Support contract (Defense Threat Reduction Agency, 2022); a $118 million Architect-Engineer Services contract for the Northwestern Division (Army Corps of Engineers, 2021); and a GSA OASIS+ Unrestricted GWAC position (2024). These vehicles generate steady task-order flow and position the vendor across civilian and defense agencies government-wide.

Activity has remained stable, averaging 30–35 awards annually over the past five years. Recompete exposure is material: 56 awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $296.4 million, concentrated in Army Corps of Engineers and Army European Command vehicles. SCI-reportable invoicing data (covering federal service contracts above $150,000) shows $42.5 million across FY2022–FY2024, with approximately 83 FTEs deployed in FY2022, declining to 54 FTEs in FY2024, indicating project-cyclical workforce scaling. On federal service contracts captured in SCI, government-paid hourly rates ranged from median $87.45/hr to a 90th percentile of $204.26/hr. GSA Schedule rates span $81.41/hr for entry-level engineering technicians to $613.70/hr for senior consultants and subject-matter experts, with 38 active labor categories. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 41 percent of total contractor hours, with 51 named subcontractors identified, indicating Black & Veatch leverages specialized local and regional partners—particularly on overseas work—while maintaining substantial in-house delivery capacity.

The vendor operates as a near-pure prime contractor (100 percent prime, less than 1 percent sub-award activity), with minimal subcontract exposure. Notable subcontractor relationships include work as a sub to Deloitte Consulting on energy sector support activities in Jordan and global power sector governance (2024) and to Lockheed Martin on ship integration and power studies (2024). The corporate structure reflects a large diversified parent, Bvh, Inc., with 22 named subsidiaries including Black & Veatch–AECOM, Black & Veatch–Stantec, and Black & Veatch–Cowi joint ventures, signaling strategic teaming on major programs. Black & Veatch's Federal Services Division operates across primary NAICS codes 541330 (Engineering Services), 541340 (Drafting Services), and 541360 (Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services), with PSC coding concentrated in Architect-and-Engineering categories spanning general services, management engineering, construction support, and missile system facilities work.

The vendor's footprint is concentrated in full-and-open defense and civilian infrastructure modernization work, with no reliance on set-aside categories. Recent growth in overseas SOFA and military facility renovation work in Europe, combined with substantial DTRA threat-reduction program presence, positions Black & Veatch as a leading prime for complex, long-duration infrastructure and capacity-building efforts. The scale of held vehicles and award velocity indicate strong incumbent positioning across major customer agencies, particularly the Army and Army Corps of Engineers, with risk concentrated in recompetes and option exercises within ballistic missile defense and energy resilience programs.
