ECI / Hyer, Inc.

ECI / Hyer, Inc., doing business as ECI, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Anchorage, Alaska, that provides architectural, engineering, and design services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across a geographically concentrated footprint anchored in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. ECI operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards), competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on federal design and infrastructure projects.

ECI's service delivery spans architectural design, engineering services (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural), landscape architecture, environmental planning, and project management, grounded in work on federal facilities, recreation infrastructure, and land management initiatives. Representative prime work includes a $3.16 million Great American Outdoors Act Master Plan Implementation delivery order from the Department of the Interior Region 10 (September 2023, completing March 2027), a $1.59 million Petersburg office consolidation and work center replacement order from Interior Region 10 (June 2023, completing November 2026), a $1.1 million mechanical, electrical, and plumbing plus roof design delivery order from GSA's Public Buildings Service for a federal building in Juneau, Alaska (June 2026, completing December 2026), and a $295,282 Twentymile Trail Design Narrative delivery order from the U.S. Forest Service Region 10 (September 2024, completing February 2026).

Customer concentration sits with Alaska and Pacific Northwest federal agencies. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 54% of recent awards, led by the Department of the Army (25 awards), the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 10 (17 awards, $13.9 million combined potential value), and the Department of the Interior National Park Service (12 awards). By potential value, the distribution is heavily skewed: the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters anchors $50 million in combined potential value from a single IDIQ, and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6 carries $25 million from another IDIQ, together representing 73% of ECI's combined potential value across all awards. GSA's Public Buildings Service Region 10 places four orders valued at $20.5 million combined. ECI holds prime positions on the DOI Architecture and Engineering Services MATOC 2022-2027 (6 task orders, $5.6 million combined potential value, running through September 2027), a Forest Service Region 6 Architecture and Engineering IDIQ ($25 million ceiling, awarded September 2025, running through September 2030), and a DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 MATOC ($50 million ceiling, awarded September 2022, running through September 2027). Older IDIQs including INF701814D029 (29 task orders, $2.2 million combined potential value) and 12010919D0012 (13 task orders, $4 million) show declining reuse as ECI's more recent vehicles anchor the active pipeline.

Activity has been cyclical — five awards in 2022, declining to two per year in 2024 and 2025, with three awards in the current fiscal year — reflecting task-order issuance patterns rather than organic growth. Five awards (combined potential value $7.1 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue grew from $39 thousand in FY2022 to $1.6 million in FY2024 across 1.4 FTEs in the latter year, a limited view of ECI's federal services activity and substantially smaller than the vendor's combined potential value across all awards, indicating that most ECI work sits above the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold or is priced on fixed-price delivery orders where invoicing may lag award valuation. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid rates ran a median of $477.41 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $1,819.48 per hour. ECI does not subcontract on federal awards in the source data — all 112 recent awards are prime contracts, indicating a direct-delivery model without notable sub-team engagement. ECI's primary NAICS footprint spans Architectural Services (40 awards), Landscape Architectural Services (14 awards), and Engineering Services (11 awards), with supplementary activity in building inspection and office furniture manufacturing reflecting the idiosyncratic nature of federal land-management and facilities projects.
