Ewing Cole Inc.

Ewing Cole Inc., a Philadelphia-based architecture and engineering firm, operates as a prime contractor (99% of awards) across 470 recent federal awards spanning institutional facility design, infrastructure planning, and construction administration for civilian agencies, with no set-aside designations and no SBA certifications. The firm is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered at 100 N 6th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106, with four named subsidiaries including Ecbuild LLC and Ewing Cole & SMMA LLC. Primary NAICS categories are Architectural Services (217 awards) and Engineering Services (188 awards); PSC coding centers on Architect and Engineering–General landscape and interior design work (195 awards) and construction-phase museum and exhibition building services (44 awards).

The Smithsonian Institution dominates Ewing Cole's customer footprint, accounting for 106 awards (50% of the award count) with $92.8 million in combined potential value. The firm serves the Smithsonian under a multi-discipline architecture and engineering IDIQ contract (established February 2021, extending through February 2031) with a $4.3 million potential value, issuing task orders for facility master planning, HVAC system assessments, infrastructure upgrades, and renovation services across multiple properties—the National Museum of Natural History, National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute, Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, and Museum Support Center. Representative Smithsonian delivery orders include a $9.4 million definitive contract awarded September 2024 for architectural and engineering services supporting the $60 million renewal of the Amphibian Reptile Conservation Center (priced on labor-hours basis, NAICS 541310, scheduled completion October 2027); a $5.26 million firm fixed-price delivery order for comprehensive facility planning at the National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute (awarded September 2022, completion June 2027); and a $2.5 million delivery order for chiller replacement at the National Museum of Natural History (awarded June 2024, completion August 2027). Beyond Smithsonian work, Ewing Cole holds task orders under Army Corps of Engineers district contracts—notably, the Engineering Support Center Huntsville vehicle accounts for 11 awards totaling $519.6 million in combined potential value, representing 22% of the firm's total pipeline across all agencies. The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command represents 33 awards worth $16.3 million. Army Corps district offices in Philadelphia and Norfolk each anchor $25 million and $22.3 million in potential value, respectively, across 31 and 23 awards. Department of the Army Corps of Engineers and Department of the Navy facilities customers collectively represent the firm's second-largest customer concentration after Smithsonian.

Ewing Cole places work across five primary parent vehicles. The Basic Ordering Agreement F0236CC10502 carries 44 task orders worth $28.2 million; Indefinite Delivery Contract F13CC10379 carries 43 task orders worth $28.7 million; the Smithsonian IDIQ (33330221DF0010127) carries 20 task orders worth $19.1 million; W912DR09D0034 carries 23 task orders worth $7.3 million; and N6247202D1415 carries 33 task orders worth $5.2 million. Five awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $22 million, representing moderate recompete exposure. The firm maintains a subcontractor footprint on six recent federal awards, including engineering services on Department of Defense and Navy facilities renovation and construction work through Jacobs Government Services Company (Buildings 259 & 260 renovation at NSA Monterey, AE support and geotechnical survey, MILCON validation, and special projects including HVAC and fire suppression system repairs). Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal federal service-contract reporting—zero invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024 and negligible FTE activity—reflecting Ewing Cole's focus on architectural and engineering design delivery orders and definitive contracts rather than labor-hour service engagements captured in SCI. Activity has remained stable at 5–10 awards per year over the past five years, with a combined potential value of $3.12 billion across all 470 awards but only $254.7 million (8%) obligated to date, indicating the firm carries significant future-option value on multi-year IDIQs and delivery order vehicles. The firm competes in full-and-open procurements and does not rely on subcontractor delivery models—sub-hours share across SCI prime contracts is zero percent, and 99% of recent awards are in a prime contractor posture.
