GEO Bancroft Engineering LLC

GEO Bancroft Engineering LLC, doing business as Bancroft Architects & Engineers, is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business that provides architectural and engineering design services, construction administration, and facility modernization support primarily to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The firm operates from Mt Prospect, Illinois, structured as a limited liability partnership with veteran ownership and DOT-certified disadvantaged business status; it competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides, with a minority of full-and-open or no-set-aside awards.

GEO Bancroft's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Veterans Health Administration. The top five funding entities account for 64% of recent awards by count and 62% by potential value, all VISNs (Veterans Integrated Service Networks). Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 anchors the largest potential-value share at $45.4 million across 12 awards, while VISN 12 leads by award count with 80 awards valued at $37.4 million. VISN 4 contributes 31 awards for $36.3 million, VISN 23 holds 27 awards valued at $35 million, and VISN 20 supports 7 awards for $22.8 million. This concentration reflects the vendor's established footprint across regional VA medical center networks.

GEO Bancroft's capability portfolio centers on architecture and engineering design services for healthcare facility modernization, particularly at VA medical centers. Representative work includes a $1.99 million definitive contract with the VA Technology Acquisition Center for design and engineering services supporting ambulatory services expansion at the VA Caribbean Healthcare System in San Juan, Puerto Rico (awarded May 2024); a $2.71 million contract with the VA Technology Acquisition Center for Electronic Health Records Modernization infrastructure upgrades at Topeka VA Medical Center (awarded March 2022); a $1.33 million contract with VISN 4 for architect-engineer services and basement addition design at Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center in Philadelphia (awarded January 2024); and a $1.55 million delivery order with VISN 23 for EHRM infrastructure design in Fargo, North Dakota (awarded July 2021). Scopes consistently include HVAC system upgrades, air handling unit replacements, dialysis center expansion, patient ward renovation, emergency department modernization, and facilities deficiency correction. The vendor also provides commissioning and performance verification (CPS) services and site visits during construction.

GEO Bancroft holds multiple indefinite-delivery contracts anchoring task-order activity. The largest vehicle is a $40 million SDVOSB IDIQ with VISN 19 (awarded November 2021, completion October 2026), which has generated 12 delivery orders totaling approximately $2.36 million for infrastructure work across eight states. A $5 million SDVOSB IDIQ with VISN 4 (awarded February 2023, completion February 2028) supports Pennsylvania facility work and has issued seven delivery orders. VISN 21 awarded a $3.85 million SDVOSB IDIQ covering California, Nevada, and Pacific Islands territories (awarded August 2023, completion August 2027). GSA Region 5 issued a $1.875 million Total Small Business IDIQ for Chicagoland architecture and engineering services (awarded September 2023, completion February 2027). The firm also operates under several legacy single-award and multiple-award IDIQ vehicles: the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System A-E Services contract (2017–2022) generated 14 task orders, and unnamed IDIQs designated 36C26319D0022, VA69D14D0109, VA69D13D0042, and VA69D14D0003 have collectively issued 49 task orders.

Award activity has declined from a five-year average of 13–15 awards per year in 2022–2024 to 8 awards in 2025 and 4 awards year-to-date in 2026. Thirty-three awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $27.5 million, creating recompete exposure across VISN-managed task orders and upcoming contract renewals.

Service Contract Inventory data shows GEO Bancroft invoiced $10.8 million in SCI-reportable federal service contracts across 21.5 FTEs in FY2023, declining to $4.5 million across the same FTE count in FY2024. SCI reporting is limited to prime contracts above $150,000 and excludes goods, products, and non-federal revenue; it represents a narrow view of the vendor's total federal activity. Median government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts run around $88/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching into the $360/hr range. The vendor self-performs all reported labor across SCI records with zero subcontractor engagement, reflecting an in-house delivery model for design, engineering, and site management functions. GEO Bancroft has registered as a federal contractor since 2010 and maintains active certifications as a SDVOSB and DOT-certified DBE.
