Harrell Design Group PC

Harrell Design Group PC, doing business as Harrell Saltrick & Hopper PC, is a Charlotte, North Carolina-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and self-certified small disadvantaged business that provides architectural and engineering design, construction administration, and project management services for federal healthcare facility modernization as a prime contractor across the Veterans Affairs system.

The firm operates exclusively as a prime across all 176 awards in its federal portfolio and competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides, with the remainder carrying no set-aside designation. Harrell Design Group specializes in VA medical center infrastructure projects—clinical and diagnostic facility renovations, mechanical and electrical systems upgrades, building envelope repairs, and healthcare infrastructure modernization. Representative work includes a $1.34 million SDVOSB set-aside contract from Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (awarded December 2025) for comprehensive design and construction administration of an 8,750-square-foot Clinical Pathology Laboratory renovation at White River Junction VA Medical Center in Vermont, with full construction documents required within 270 days; a $2.43 million SDVOSB set-aside with Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 (awarded September 2025) for design services to renovate the 4th floor Community Living Center at Beckley, West Virginia VA Medical Center, encompassing schematic design through construction period services; and a $1.75 million SDVOSB contract from VA Technology Acquisition Center (awarded August 2024) for design and construction of operating room and logistics facilities in Columbus, Ohio, with a no-cost time extension for design modifications.

Customer concentration is tightly clustered within Veterans Affairs. The top five VISN-level customer organizations account for 69% of all awards and 78% of combined potential value. Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 dominates both award count and potential value (41 awards, $22.4 million), followed by VISN 16 (23 awards, $15.1 million), VISN 5 (19 awards, $10.4 million), VISN 9 (26 awards, $9.2 million), and VISN 4 (12 awards, $5.9 million). The firm's scope is defined by NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541310 (Architectural Services) work, with primary PSC codes concentrated in Architect and Engineering–Construction for hospital and infirmary facilities.

Harrell Design Group places work through five named VA indefinite delivery contract vehicles: Contract 36C25618D0113 (15 task orders, $5.4 million combined potential value), Contract V246P01285 (14 task orders, $847 thousand), Contract 36C24919D0019 (10 task orders, $1.2 million), Contract VA24413D0211 (9 task orders, $2.3 million), and Contract VA246P0130 (8 task orders, $222 thousand). Recent activity shows variability: three awards in 2024, five in 2025, and one so far in 2026. Thirteen awards carrying combined potential value of $7.2 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing the firm to recompete during that window. Combined potential value across all 176 awards is $80.5 million, with $50.9 million obligated to date (63% of potential).

SCI-reportable federal service contract invoicing ran $2.2 million across 4.9 FTEs in fiscal 2023 and $1.5 million across 6.4 FTEs in fiscal 2024, reflecting work performed by direct staff with zero subcontractor engagement across prime contracts. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable work ranged from a median of $142.67 per hour to a 90th percentile of $306.57 per hour, consistent with architectural and engineering professional services. The firm self-performs all work and carries no named subcontractors across its federal portfolio, positioning it as a single-source, prime-only provider to the VA system rather than a prime that sources sub capacity.
