Fourfront Design Inc.

Fourfront Design Inc., doing business as 4 Front, a woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in Rapid City, South Dakota, operates as a prime contractor delivering architect-engineering and facility design services predominantly to the Department of Veterans Affairs across 296 prime awards (99% of its federal footprint). The company competes almost exclusively under SDVOSB set-asides, which characterize its entire prime award portfolio. Fourfront also holds a named subcontractor position under AECOM on a $1 million-plus Air Force renovation sub task.

Fourfront's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the VA and its components. The top five customer entities account for 71% of recent awards by count, dominated by Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 (71 awards, $25.2 million), the National Cemetery Administration (52 awards, $71 million), and Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (52 awards, $52 million), with the Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District and Air Combat Command as secondary customers. By dollar value, the VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin anchors the portfolio with 11 awards carrying $5.01 billion in combined potential value — almost entirely driven by Fourfront's $5 billion IDIQ for national architect-engineering services awarded September 25, 2025, which set 100 percent for SDVOSB competition and runs through September 2035. This single vehicle represents 94% of the vendor's combined potential value across all awards, creating extreme customer and vehicle concentration with the VA.

Fourfront's capability portfolio centers on architectural, engineering, and site survey services for facility design, renovation, and infrastructure upgrades at VA medical centers and national cemeteries nationwide. Representative work includes a $16.4 million seismic mitigation design contract (September 2024) for historic buildings at Raymond G. Murphy VA Medical Center in Albuquerque under SDVOSB set-aside; a $2.6 million delivery order (September 2026) for HVAC, vertical transportation, and refrigeration deficiency correction at a VA facility in Missouri under SDVOSB set-aside; a $1.87 million delivery order (July 2026) for data center electronic health record infrastructure upgrades at Fresno VA under the national IDIQ; and multiple sub-million building information modeling and Legionella study contracts with the VA and Army Corps of Engineers. Landscape architectural services, facility assessments, and specialized technical evaluations are recurring delivery patterns. The GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (awarded March 2024, $1.5 million ceiling through March 2029) covers Geographic Information Systems services, engineering, management consulting, project management, and acquisition support, with 15 labor categories ranging from entry-level associate roles at $101.84/hour through master's-level principals at $282.44/hour — no security-cleared positions are offered.

On parent vehicles, Fourfront places work under the $5 billion VA Technology Acquisition Center IDIQ (awarded September 2025) with two task orders to date; an older VA Indefinite Delivery Contract VA786AP0423 with 38 prior task orders and $30.5 million combined potential value; VISN 19 Architect Engineering Services MATOC (32 task orders, $10 million); and multiple regional VA VISN-specific MATOCs (VISN 23 and VISN 20 contracts) that collectively account for the majority of delivery order volume. The Army Corps of Engineers Northwestern Division architect-engineer IDIQ and a comparable Omaha District vehicle represent secondary but material vehicle positions. Primary NAICS codes are 541330 (Engineering Services) with 130 awards and 541310 (Architectural Services) with 109 awards; representative PSC codes align with architect-engineer construction for hospital and infirmary work.

Service Contract Inventory reporting shows $12.4 million in invoiced prime federal services revenue across FY2022–FY2025, with FY2025 invoicing at $4 million across 11.2 FTEs. The SCI dataset captures a partial and subset view of Fourfront's federal activity, excluding goods, products, and micro-purchases; actual federal revenue is larger. FTE trajectory climbed from 5.8 FTEs in FY2022 to 9.2 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts ranged from a 10th-percentile floor near zero (reflecting fixed-price contracts with minimal labor visibility in SCI) to a median of $159.78/hour and a 90th percentile of $348.79/hour, consistent with architect-engineer and senior technical staffing. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 5% of total contractor hours, with 12 named subs reported across the portfolio, indicating Fourfront primarily builds its own delivery teams and self-performs the majority of work.

Activity has been volatile: 14 awards in 2022, declining to 4 in 2025, then recovering to 8 in 2026 year-to-date. Nineteen awards with ultimate completion dates inside the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $28.7 million, representing recompete exposure. The company holds a named subsidiary, Calibre-Fourfront Joint Venture LLP, a self-certified small disadvantaged business and SDVOSB joint venture. Recent awards concentrate in the third and fourth quarters of 2026, suggesting active task order issuance against Fourfront's seat on the $5 billion national IDIQ as that vehicle matures post-award.
