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 to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing exclusively under SDVOSB set-asides and holding a portfolio of multi-million-dollar indefinite-delivery contracts across VA regional networks. The firm is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and Subchapter S corporation that operates through a corporate structure including SDVOSB joint ventures (Anchors Aweigh Design LLC and Bravo Zulu LLC).

CB Design Group's capability footprint centers on healthcare facility infrastructure design for VA medical centers nationwide, including Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) infrastructure upgrades, medical building construction and renovation, HVAC system upgrades, surgical suite design, and construction period services. The firm's work spans schematic design through construction documents, design development, cost estimating, construction administration, and value engineering. Representative examples include a $6.99 million definitive contract for EHRM infrastructure upgrade design at the Tuskegee Veterans Health Care System in Alabama (awarded September 2022, ultimate completion June 2026); a $3.37 million contract for electronic health record modernization at the San Juan VA Medical Center in Puerto Rico (awarded September 2021); a $3.32 million contract for EHRM infrastructure upgrades at Lebanon VA Medical Center in Pennsylvania (awarded April 2022); and a $3.18 million contract for EHRM infrastructure design at the Durham VA Medical Center in North Carolina (awarded September 2022). Recent awards include a $1.86 million SDVOSB definitive contract from VA Technology Acquisition Center for architectural and engineering design services for a service building annex and ambulance ramp at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (awarded September 2025, completion August 2026) and a $1.5 million sole-source contract for construction period services (awarded April 2026, completion October 2030).

Customer concentration is entirely within VA regional networks. The top five customer entities account for 85% of awards by count and 89% of combined potential value, led by VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 (Maryland, Washington D.C., and West Virginia) with 13 awards worth $54.8 million; VISN 22 (Arizona, New Mexico, and Southern California) with 1 award of $45 million; VISN 17 (Texas and Oklahoma) with 16 awards worth $31.8 million; VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management with 2 awards worth $25 million; and VA Technology Acquisition Center with 7 awards worth $18.6 million. This concentration reflects CB Design Group's positioning as a dedicated VA healthcare facility architect-engineer, with the recent $45 million single-award IDIQ from VISN 22 (awarded September 2025) anchoring the dollars-by-customer ranking.

CB Design Group holds two standing indefinite-delivery vehicles: a $25 million nationwide IDIQ awarded by VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management in September 2023 (multiple award, running through September 2028) and a $45 million single-award IDIQ from VISN 22 awarded in September 2025 (running through September 2030). Task-order activity flows primarily through regional VISN-specific multiple-award IDIQs (36C25720D0057 with 15 task orders worth $6.8 million, VA24517D0137 with 6 task orders worth $1.2 million, and 36C24519D0030 with 3 task orders worth $400 thousand). Individual task orders under these IDIQs range from roughly $2,000 to several million dollars, with firm fixed-price delivery orders the standard contract type.

Activity shows volatility: five awards in 2022, twelve in 2023, three in 2024, five in 2025, and one in 2026 (through April). Seventeen awards totaling $22.8 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing significant recompete exposure for the vendor across multiple VISN regions and the national IDIQ vehicle.

SCI-reported invoicing on federal services contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $15.2 million across fiscal years 2022–2024 ($4.8 million in FY2022, $3.5 million in FY2023, $6.9 million in FY2024), reflecting upward trajectory in FY2024. The SCI dataset shows 5.2 FTEs in FY2022, 3.8 FTEs in FY2023, and 8.5 FTEs in FY2024, with the increase driven by larger task-order placements in 2024. Government-paid hourly rates on prime SCI contracts span a wide range—from $31.74/hr at the 10th percentile to a median of $233.82/hr and $1,050.33/hr at the 90th percentile—reflecting mix of junior technical staff, professional architects and engineers, and senior infrastructure design leadership. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, CB Design Group self-performs approximately 86% of contractor hours, with an average 14% sub-hours share. In FY2024, the firm engaged 8 named subcontractors, including SDVOSB-certified firms (Compass CG LLC for life safety consulting, Integrity Federal Services, Inc. for civil engineering services) and other specialized subs (ECS Mid-Atlantic LLC for environmental services).
