EBL Engineers, LLC

EBL Engineers, LLC, doing business as EBL Fire Engineering, is a Parkville, Maryland-based limited liability company that delivers fire protection engineering, mechanical-electrical-plumbing design, facility assessments, and life safety system oversight to federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of awards in the source footprint). The firm competes in both full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside categories, with set-asides present across roughly half of recent task orders. EBL is not classified as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other SBA socioeconomic-program participant in the source.

EBL's capability portfolio centers on architect-engineer services for federal facilities infrastructure. The firm specializes in fire protection system design, life safety assessments, suppression and detection system installation and testing, HVAC and mechanical system evaluation and design, electrical infrastructure repair and upgrade, and construction administration and commissioning. Concrete recent work includes a $2.74 million National Institutes of Health BPA call (awarded September 2026) for hospital facility fire and life safety system oversight at Bethesda, Maryland; a $2.41 million Air Force delivery order (March 2026) for electrical switching-station design at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling; a $1.41 million Air Force delivery order (October 2023) for fire suppression system repair design at Bolling Air Force Base; a $676,895 Air Force delivery order (March 2025) under AE NEXT for airfield district planning at Vandenberg Space Force Base; and a $602,008 Food and Drug Administration delivery order (March 2022) for laboratory renovation design at the FDA White Oak facility in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Customer concentration is spread across sixty-seven federal agencies, but clustered among a small number of high-volume customers. The top five funding agencies by award count cover 41 percent of awards: the Department of the Navy (76 awards), GSA Public Buildings Service National Capital Region (74 awards, $40.5 million potential value), Department of the Interior National Park Service National Office (66 awards, $16.9 million), Department of the Air Force (55 awards, $17.3 million), and Department of the Army (44 awards). By potential value, the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations dominates with eight awards totaling $156.3 million in combined potential value, anchoring EBL's largest single-customer relationship. The National Institutes of Health Construction office follows with nine awards worth $46 million. EBL delivers fire protection engineering personnel to State's overseas building operations under a $150 million single-award IDV and serves NIH campuses under a $13.7 million BPA, both sources cited across multiple delivery orders in the footprint.

EBL holds several parent vehicles positioning it to bid task orders and subcontract across the federal government. The vendor sits on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (119 task orders, $64.2 million combined potential value) with twenty-six active labor categories spanning CAD Technician II at $81.50 per hour through Principal Engineer at $235.14 per hour, with fire protection engineering roles priced between $140 and $159 per hour. The Air Force AE NEXT contract ($2 billion multiple-award vehicle, awarded August 2021, expiring August 2031) carries EBL task orders for design services across Air Force facilities globally; EBL has received at least thirteen AE NEXT delivery orders in the source footprint across Pope Field, Luke Air Force Base, Lakehurst, Joint Base Andrews, Travis Air Force Base, and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. EBL also holds a $9.8 million NIST single-award IDIQ (awarded September 2026) for mechanical-electrical-plumbing design across the Gaithersburg campus, a $25 million GSA National Capital Region IDIQ (awarded August 2025) for architect-engineer services across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, a $5 million National Park Service multiple-award IDIQ (awarded September 2026) for fire protection engineering services, and a $5 million Department of Energy single-award IDIQ (awarded June 2024) for miscellaneous architect-engineer services. EBL also holds a Department of Interior multiple-award MATOC ($50 million ceiling, awarded September 2022) for architect-engineer services supporting Interior and Forest Service facilities.

Activity has remained relatively stable over the past five fiscal years, ranging from thirteen to twenty-five awards per year (thirteen in FY2026, fourteen in FY2025, twenty-one in FY2024, twenty-five in FY2023, and twenty-two in FY2022). The vendor has accrued $2.48 billion in combined potential value across 765 prime and sub awards since 1982, with $99.4 million obligated to date. Fifteen awards carrying $8.2 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and are therefore exposure for recompete. SCI-reported federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold show invoiced revenue of $8.5 million across prime contracts in FY2022–FY2025, with roughly nine FTEs delivered in FY2025, suggesting the vendor operates a small federal delivery organization atop its broader facilities and fire protection consulting portfolio. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts ran from $41 per hour (10th percentile) to $120 per hour (90th percentile median), with a center of gravity around $110 per hour — consistent with technical architect-engineer and fire protection specialist labor. EBL subcontracts to other primes infrequently; the source names two subcontractor relationships: Johnson Controls Building Automation Systems for building automation consulting at Aberdeen Proving Ground (February 2025) and work under an Army Corps of Engineers MATOC to Tobyhanna Army Depot (January 2026). EBL operates as a prime contractor in the overwhelming majority of its federal footprint, with minimal reliance on or engagement with subcontractors.

EBL specializes in mechanical, electrical, and fire protection engineering, code consulting, life safety, energy conservation, facilities management, and construction phase services.
