H.F. Lenz Co

H.F. Lenz Co, doing business as H.F. Lenz Co Engineering, is a Johnstown, Pennsylvania–based architectural and engineering services firm that operates as a prime contractor on federal facility design, infrastructure upgrade, and planning projects, competing full-and-open without SBA set-asides across 17 federal customer agencies.

The company's capability portfolio centers on facility infrastructure engineering: fire suppression system design and installation, mechanical systems replacement (condenser water valves, boilers, chilled water piping, generators), electrical infrastructure upgrades (transformer replacement, high-voltage switches, arc flash studies, roadway and parking lighting), building management system improvements, security entrance and exit design, and architectural and engineering studies for facility expansions and modifications. Representative work includes a $1.73 million definitive contract from the Department of Veterans Affairs (Veterans Integrated Service Network 4) for architectural and engineering design services to replace life safety and biomedical systems at the James E. Van Zandt Veterans Administration Medical Center in Altoona, Pennsylvania, with completion through January 2030; a $1.50 million delivery order from the FBI for Phase III architectural and engineering services on a Notifier fire detection and annunciation system at the CJIS campus in Johnstown, Pennsylvania; a $787 thousand delivery order for CJIS boiler and mechanical system replacement design; and a $490 thousand NASA Glenn Research Center delivery order for STEAM Phase 5 architectural and engineering services.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the FBI and federal facility infrastructure programs. The Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division dominates both by award count and by dollar value: 30 awards carrying $40.9 million in combined potential value, representing roughly 59% of the vendor's total potential-value footprint. This concentration reflects H.F. Lenz Co's established position on the FBI's $30 million Architectural, Engineering, and Planning (AEP) Services Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract running through August 2029, under which the vendor has issued 25 task orders with combined potential value of $55 thousand. NASA Glenn Research Center (3 awards, $10.6 million) and the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Baltimore (30 awards, $9.3 million) rank second and third by potential value. The Army (43 awards, $462 thousand) and GSA Public Buildings Service (31 awards) follow by award count but with substantially lower dollar magnitude, indicating a mix of small facility studies and support engagements. The top five customer agencies account for 95% of combined potential value.

H.F. Lenz Co holds prime positions on multiple facility-support IDIQs beyond the FBI AEP contract: Indefinite Delivery Contract 15F06718D0006962 (Army Corps of Engineers, 22 task orders, $8 million combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract INP09PC60804 (National Park Service, 20 task orders, $1.5 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract W912DR04D0036 (Army, 18 task orders, $1.6 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract W912DR09D0025 (Army, 13 task orders, $3.6 million). Work is concentrated in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) with secondary concentration in architectural services and landscaping and interior design engineering.

Activity has declined modestly from a baseline of 7–8 awards per year in 2022–2023 to 6 in 2024 and 4 in 2025, with 1 award in early 2026. Five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $2.1 million and face recompete exposure. The vendor operates solely as a prime contractor; it subcontracts minimally, with one recorded sub-award on a Seven Generations Architecture & Engineering LLC prime (September 2024) for mechanical, plumbing, and electrical engineering work on a Buckstaff Bathhouse historic structure restoration. The vendor's SAM.gov registration dates to 2002.
