CB Design Group, Inc.

CB Design Group, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) based in Alexandria, Virginia, provides architectural and engineering design services and construction period support to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), operating primarily under SDVOSB set-asides across VA regional networks. The firm is a self-certified small disadvantaged business, Subchapter S corporation, and veteran-owned company with a corporate structure that includes four named subsidiaries — CB Design Group Inc., Anchors Aweigh Design LLC, and Bravo Zulu LLC — positioning the parent as the primary contracting vehicle for federal work.

CB Design Group's customer concentration is tightly focused on the VA healthcare system. The top five customer entities account for 84% of recent awards by count and 87% of combined potential value. Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 (Maryland, Washington D.C., and West Virginia) leads by dollar value with 13 awards worth $54.8 million combined potential value; VISN 22 (Arizona, New Mexico, and Southern California) anchors the next tier with a single $45 million IDIQ; and VISN 17 (Texas and Oklahoma) carries 16 awards worth $31.8 million. The VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management and the VA Technology Acquisition Center round out the active set, collectively accounting for the remaining dollars. Two agency-level rankings — one by count, one by value — align closely, reflecting CB Design Group's consistent dollar-per-award scale across customers.

Capability work centers on healthcare facility infrastructure design, Electronic Health Record Modernization infrastructure upgrades, HVAC and mechanical systems, and medical building renovation and new construction. Representative recent prime contracts include a $10.5 million definitive contract with VISN 7 for EHRM infrastructure upgrade design at the Tuskegee Veterans Health Care System in Alabama (awarded September 2022, performing through September 2028), a $3.43 million definitive contract with the VA Technology Acquisition Center for demolition of an existing mental health facility and design of a new clinic at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (awarded March 2024, completing January 2027), and a $3.32 million definitive contract with the VA Technology Acquisition Center for EHRM infrastructure design and construction period services at the Lebanon VA Medical Center in Pennsylvania (awarded April 2022, performing through May 2028). Smaller task orders under IDIQ vehicles address site-specific HVAC upgrades, hillside slip remediation, and construction period hybrid or AE services. Most work is SDVOSB set-aside or sole-source designated; two recent full-and-open awards appear in the portfolio, suggesting occasional competitive eligibility when the set-aside vehicle is unavailable.

CB Design Group holds two active IDIQ vehicles, both single-award SDVOSB-reserved contracts. The VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management awarded a $25 million multiple-award IDIQ (ultimate completion September 2028) for nationwide architect and engineering services, code review, project management, and cost estimating; 15 task orders have been issued to date, worth $6.8 million combined. VISN 22 awarded a $45 million single-award IDIQ (ultimate completion September 2027) for multi-discipline architectural and engineering consulting services across Arizona, New Mexico, and Southern California; this vehicle carries no task orders in the source data and represents largely unobligated capacity. A $300 million IDIQ with VISN 5 is cited in multiple award narratives but does not appear in the top-parent-vehicles block, suggesting it may have preceded the source data window or carries minimal recent task-order activity.

Activity has contracted significantly in the past two years. The vendor received 12 awards in 2023, dropped to 3 in 2024, and received 5 awards in 2025 and 2 awards in 2026 to date. Nineteen awards worth $31.6 million combined potential value face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, exposing the vendor to substantial recompete risk; this includes several large EHRM and facility design contracts entering final phases or approaching completion.

SCI-reported invoicing on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $20 million across fiscal years 2022–2025, with $4.8 million in FY2022, $3.5 million in FY2023, $6.9 million in FY2024, and $4.8 million in FY2025. Reported FTE scale rose from 5.2 FTEs in FY2022 to a peak of 11.7 FTEs in FY2024, then fell to 7.9 FTEs in FY2025, tracking the overall decline in contract awards. Government-paid hourly rates on prime SCI contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $32.04/hr to a median of $231.38/hr to a 90th percentile of $1,031.75/hr, reflecting a wide labor mix spanning entry-level support through senior design and project management roles. CB Design Group self-performed approximately 90% of contractor hours on prime SCI-reportable contracts, engaging specialized subcontractors for approximately 10% of hours; 18 named subcontractors appear across the prime contract footprint, including Imeg Consultants Corp. for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and technology systems design; Compass CG LLC for life safety consulting; and Integrity Federal Services, Inc. for civil engineering support. These subcontracting arrangements are consistent with the firm's role as prime architect-engineer, outsourcing discipline-specific design components to specialist consultants rather than operating as a general contractor or construction manager.

CB Design Group, Inc. is a full-service SDVOSB architecture firm with experience in all phases of the design and construction process. Capabilities include programming, conceptual design, planning, construction documentation, bidding and contract administration. The firm can also provide quality control services including peer review of documents and field observation during construction to supplement owners' in-house construction staff.
