Engineering & Software Consultants, LLC

Engineering & Software Consultants, LLC (doing business as ESC), a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Plano, Texas, is a prime contractor providing transportation infrastructure research, pavement management systems analysis, and technical support services to federal civilian agencies, operating exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) with no subcontractor footprint. ESC is a subsidiary of Agr, LLC (Advanced Global Resources, LLC), a for-profit limited liability company also headquartered in Texas.

ESC's customer concentration is extreme and functionally single-customer: the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration accounts for 140 of 173 total awards (81% by count) and $203.9 million of combined potential value, with the top five customers covering 86% of award count and 99% of combined potential value ($1.21 billion total). However, that 99% figure masks a material outlier — the Federal Aviation Administration holds a single award valued at $999.9 million, which dominates the total-value ranking despite being a one-off in the award count. FHWA, by contrast, anchors ESC's core recurring business with 140 steady delivery orders across multiple IDIQs. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service National Capital Region, the Department of Transportation Office of the Secretary, and the Department of the Navy round out the active customer base at minimal scale.

ESC holds five named FHWA indefinite delivery vehicles, with two currently active: a $52.518 million IDIQ (Research and Technical Support for Infrastructure Laboratories) and a $16.5 million single-award IDIQ (Non-Personal Technical Support for the Infrastructure Analysis and Construction Team at Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center, running through May 2029). The first IDIQ has generated 23 task orders totaling $12.7 million in combined potential value; the second has generated a comparable volume with $8.7 million in combined potential value. Three additional older FHWA vehicles (DTFH6108D00014, DTFH6105D00017, DTFH6111D00009) carry 45 task orders combined totaling $12.3 million. Concrete representative work includes a $3.423 million delivery order (May 2024) for traffic speed deflection device research and development, a $1.974 million hybrid firm-fixed-price/time-and-materials task order (September 2023) for internally cured concrete technology transfer support, a $397.7 thousand delivery order (October 2025) for natural disaster asset management planning, and a $1 million SBIR Phase II award (December 2022) from DOT for asphalt mixture performance testing acceleration under Topic 21-FH3. Work is performed in Plano, Texas and McLean, Virginia, with the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center serving as the administrative focal point for most FHWA task orders.

ESC's award portfolio spans 173 prime contracts and IDIQs with $1.21 billion in combined potential value but only $83.1 million obligated (7% realization rate). Activity has been sparse in recent years — one award in 2026, two in 2025, four in 2024, one in 2023 — following steady execution through the early 2020s. Five awards totaling $4.8 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will enter recompete during that window. Top NAICS categories are Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (53 awards), Engineering Services (49 awards), and Testing Laboratories and Services (36 awards); top PSCs reflect highway and surface transportation R&D focus, with 74 awards coded to R&D in highways, roads, and bridges basic research and 31 to community service and development support.
