Harriman Associates

Harriman Associates, a for-profit integrated architecture and engineering firm based in Auburn, Maine, has established itself as a significant provider of design and construction services to federal agencies, particularly the Department of Veterans Affairs. With over 150 years of operational history, the firm brings comprehensive expertise in architectural and engineering services across multiple sectors including healthcare, education, corporate, government, and retail facilities. Harriman's federal contracting presence reflects its regional strength in New England, where it has developed deep relationships with government agencies and demonstrated capacity to manage complex facility improvement projects while maintaining operational continuity.

Through its recent federal contract award history, Harriman Associates has focused predominantly on providing architectural and engineering services to Veterans Integrated Service Network 1, the VA entity serving the Boston and Massachusetts regions. The firm's project portfolio demonstrates expertise in medical facility renovation and infrastructure upgrades, including a $72,778.06 definitive contract awarded on September 26, 2025, to design comprehensive repairs for a deteriorating Condensate Pump Room Roof at Togus Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Chelsea, Maine—a Total Small Business set-aside project with an estimated construction cost of approximately $250,000. Additionally, Harriman received an $88,238.87 firm-fixed-price contract awarded December 5, 2023, for construction period services related to replacing damaged doors and upgrading card access systems at West Roxbury VA Medical Center in Boston, with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2026. The firm has also provided A/E design services for door replacement and electrical distribution improvements across VA facilities, including a $45,053.00 definitive contract awarded September 13, 2021, for Phase 2 design services. A $33,180.00 purchase order for A/E Type C services was awarded October 11, 2021, with completion in October 2023. All of these VA-funded contracts reflect the firm's status as the original designer on multiple projects, which has resulted in sole-source follow-on contract awards recognizing Harriman's unique expertise and established working relationships with VA facility operations teams.

Harriman Associates holds a significant multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract awarded by the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 1 on January 1, 2025, under a total small business set-aside designation. This contract establishes a ceiling value of $40,000,000 and extends through December 31, 2029, positioning Harriman to provide comprehensive architectural and engineering services supporting GSA-owned and leased facilities throughout the six New England states. Under this IDIQ vehicle, Harriman is authorized to deliver studies, design services, and construction monitoring across various facility improvement projects. The contract was competitively awarded through a Request for Qualifications solicitation that anticipated awarding up to eight IDIQ contracts, with evaluation criteria emphasizing professional qualifications, past performance, specialized experience, organizational capacity, and environmental and sustainable design considerations. This GSA PBS Region 1 IDIQ represents a strategic platform leveraging Harriman's regional expertise and established federal contracting capabilities, enabling the firm to compete for multiple delivery orders supporting government property improvements throughout New England.
