Cromwell Architects Engineers, Inc.

Cromwell Architects Engineers, Inc., a for-profit architectural and engineering firm headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, operates as a prime contractor delivering design, engineering, and project management services across federal military installations, courthouses, and civilian facilities on a full-and-open competitive basis with no characteristic set-aside posture. The firm competes predominantly unrestricted; 98 percent of its recent awards carry no set-aside designation. Cromwell has delivered 883 prime awards (98 percent of portfolio) across 899 total federal actions since 1980, with 16 subcontractor engagements (2 percent). The vendor maintains a foreign subsidiary, Cromwell AE GMBH, a limited liability company supporting international federal facility work.

Cromwell's capability footprint centers on multi-discipline architectural and engineering services spanning feasibility studies, conceptual and detailed design, construction documentation, commissioning, Title II services, inspection, and project management for infrastructure renovation, mechanical systems upgrades, seismic retrofitting, and facility modernization. Representative prime work includes a $99 million unrestricted multiple-award task order contract (MATOC) for multi-discipline A-E services with the Defense Logistics Agency's ENDIST Charleston (awarded July 2025, performance through 2030); a $30 million small-business-set-aside indefinite delivery contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Charleston District for A-E services (awarded February 2025, performance through 2030); a $15 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract with the Army Corps of Engineers Europe District for facility commissioning (awarded June 2024, performance through 2029); and a $10 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with GSA Region 7 for supplemental architect and engineering services in Arkansas (awarded November 2021, through November 2026). Recent delivery orders exemplify the scope: $3.44 million for architectural and engineering design of a CDC facility in Little Rock (Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, July 2025); $3.11 million for MFR Selfridge A-E design (Defense Logistics Agency, September 2025, small-business set-aside); $1.97 million for reports and travel services in Waco, Texas (ENDIST Charleston, September 2023); and $952 thousand for design services for whole-center repairs at Marine Corps Base Hawaii Kaneohe Bay (ENDIST Charleston, September 2024).

Customer concentration anchors to defense and military-support agencies. The top five funding sources—Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Charleston District (96 awards, $244.6 million potential value), Defense Commissary Agency (106 awards, $84.2 million), Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District (63 awards, $35.2 million), Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command (10 awards, $27.4 million), and Department of the Army European Command (13 awards, $26.2 million)—represent 82 percent of combined potential value. By volume, the Air Force leads with 115 awards, followed by Defense Commissary Agency (106), GSA PBS (104), and the Army (100). The top-potential-value ranking diverges from the top-volume ranking because the Army Corps Charleston District anchors the largest single dollar commitment ($244.6 million across 96 orders), while volume is distributed across multiple smaller-dollar awards from the Air Force and Defense Commissary Agency. Cromwell serves 42 distinct federal agencies, with overseas presence particularly strong through Army European Command and NATO-allied facility work.

Cromwell's primary parent vehicles are indefinite delivery contracts. The five highest-activity vehicles carry 217 cumulative task orders and $32.2 million combined potential value: Indefinite Delivery Contract W912HN11D0011 (51 task orders, $8.4 million); HDEC0312D0010 (43 task orders, $9.1 million); 47PH0822D0001 (40 task orders, $3.2 million); W912HP15D0004 (35 task orders, $10.2 million); and DAHA0303D0004 (32 task orders, $1.3 million). The $99 million 2025 MATOC and $30 million 2025 Army Corps contract represent the largest current capacity vehicles, with the latter designated small-business set-aside despite Cromwell's full-and-open competition pattern elsewhere. The $10 million GSA Region 7 single-award IDIQ, expiring November 2026, has issued dozens of task orders for courthouse and federal building work across Arkansas and neighboring states.

Award volume has declined from 27 awards in 2022 to 10 awards in 2026 year-to-date, reflecting a downward trajectory over the most recent five-year period (27 in 2022, 21 in 2023, 26 in 2024, 17 in 2025, 10 in 2026 through mid-year). Nineteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry $15.3 million combined potential value, representing moderate recompete exposure concentrated in near-term vehicle closeouts and option-year exercises. The SCI dataset captures only one reportable service contract (FY2023, $510 thousand invoiced across 1.4 FTEs at a median $181.47/hr rate), indicating that SCI covers a narrow slice of Cromwell's total federal activity; the $508.6 million combined potential value across 899 awards substantially exceeds SCI-captured invoicing.

Cromwell subcontracts to large prime contractors on overseas and domestic military facility projects. Named sub-award primes include AECOM International Inc. (eight documented sub-awards spanning design commissioning, sprinkler system survey, and design services for facilities in Germany, Poland, and Spain); Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp. (three documented sub-awards for HVAC and construction commissioning support at Wiesbaden and Clay Kaserne, Germany); and Barge Emersion Joint Venture (one documented sub-award for RRC survey at Arden Hills, Minnesota). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the sub-hours share is zero percent, indicating Cromwell delivers project teams in-house rather than relying on subcontractor labor, though the named sub-award pattern shows the firm bridges to larger primes on select overseas infrastructure programs where a lead integrator is named by the government.
