Burgess & Niple / Heapy, LLC

Burgess & Niple / Heapy, LLC, a Columbus, Ohio–based architectural and engineering partnership, competes as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) delivering facility design, infrastructure upgrades, repair and maintenance, and technical consulting services to the U.S. Air Force and Army on full-and-open competition with no SBA set-aside designations across its footprint.

The firm's work concentrates in two primary NAICS categories—Architectural Services (49 awards) and Engineering Services (5 awards)—with PSC coding split between Architect and Engineering–General (41 awards in landscaping, interior layout, and design; 11 in other A/E) and isolated construction-focused work in HVAC and bridge analysis. Representative prime contracts include a $3.9 million delivery order (May 2024) from the Air Force for multidiscipline architect-engineer services at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base under a five-year $4.9 million single-award IDC running through September 2028; a $660,846 firm fixed-price delivery order (September 2024) from Air Force Materiel Command for consolidated demolition work in the Kittyhawk Area at WPAFB; a $505,586 delivery order (September 2021) from the Air Force Research Laboratory for construction of a new ordnance range at WPAFB; and Title II architectural and engineering services for facility upgrades at WPAFB under Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District IDCs. The vendor holds one identified subcontract award, a facility operations and maintenance engagement under a test facilities contract (September 2024) with work scope limited to "condition inspection."

Customer concentration sits heavily with Air Force and Army customers. The top five funding organizations account for 84% of awards by count and 97% of combined potential value. Air Force Materiel Command anchors the relationship with 26 awards carrying $15.3 million in combined potential value, while the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Louisville commands $15.7 million across five awards despite lower order count—a dollars-versus-volume divergence driven by a $15 million multiple-award IDC (W9124C18D0003) the vendor sits on for quality assurance reviews, peer reviews, and forensic analyses for Corps construction programs through November 2025. The Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region places six awards totaling $10.7 million. Air Force Research Laboratory and Air Education and Training Command round out the active set with smaller volumes. Place of performance concentrates at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio with subordinate work at other Army installations in the Southeast Region.

The vendor's vehicle position is built on two major IDCs. The primary vehicle is the $4.9 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract FA860123D0003 with Air Force Materiel Command (awarded September 2023, running through September 2028) for multidiscipline architect-engineer services at Wright-Patterson, from which 15 task orders carrying $3.6 million in combined potential value have issued. A second vehicle, IDC FA860118D0008 (26 task orders, $5.2 million combined potential value), appears to be an earlier Air Force vehicle now in run-out status. The Army Corps of Engineers multiple-award IDC W9124C18D0003 represents the second-largest vehicle platform with five orders totaling $660 thousand. The vendor does not hold positions on government-wide vehicles such as GWACs, NASA SEWP, or GSA Schedules.

Activity peaked at eleven awards in 2024 but has moderated to six awards so far in 2025, with a total footprint of 55 awards since 2018. Combined potential value stands at $44.9 million with $9.7 million obligated to date (22% realization rate), indicating a significant tail of unfunded ceilings across delivery orders. The vendor faces no material recompete cliff within the next twenty-four months; the primary $4.9 million WPAFB IDC does not expire until September 2028. Recent invoiced activity (last 12 months) against the Air Force and Army IDCs totals approximately $5.2 million in delivery order task executions, reflecting steady utilization of its standing contracts.
