HDR Engineering Inc.

HDR Engineering Inc., doing business as H D R, a large employee-owned Subchapter S corporation and subsidiary of HDR, Inc., provides comprehensive architect-engineer services, infrastructure design, facilities engineering, and environmental consulting to federal civilian and defense agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across no set-aside categories. Headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, with 1,917 South 67th Street as the registered address, HDR Engineering operates under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and PSC codes spanning architect-engineer design, environmental consulting, and professional services disciplines.

HDR Engineering's federal footprint concentrates in architecture and engineering services for infrastructure, facilities, and environmental projects. The National Park Service's National Office and Midwest Region anchor the customer base by award volume (252 and 134 awards respectively), with combined potential value of $508.1 million representing 28% of the vendor's total portfolio. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers drives significant dollar value, with Engineering District Omaha ($239.4 million across 103 awards), Kansas City District ($181.1 million across 37 awards), and Far East District ($166.7 million across 33 awards) accounting for $637.2 million. The Air National Guard ranks third by dollar value ($264.8 million across 37 awards), concentrated in fire suppression system design and facility improvements. These five customer concentrations account for roughly 35% of combined potential value. Across 1,835 total prime and sub awards spanning 128 distinct agencies, HDR Engineering demonstrates broad federal reach but maintains core delivery in NPS facility improvements, USACE infrastructure projects, and Air National Guard facility modernization.

Vehicle position anchors to five principal indefinite delivery contracts managing 687 task orders and $625.3 million: the NPS Nationwide General Architect and Engineering Professional Services 2026-2031 ($400 million, 217 task orders as of FY2026), the USACE Northwestern Division Architect-Engineer Services 2021-2028 ($118 million, 134 task orders), the Air National Guard Fire Protection National AE IDIQ ($150 million, 80 task orders), the USACE Mobile District Civil Works Program IDIQ ($36 million–$46 million shared capacity), and the Federal Highway Administration A/E Construction Management and Inspection IDIQ ($55 million, multiple-award regional vehicle for Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming). Recent vehicle awards in 2025–2026 include new ceilings: USACE Sacramento Hydrologic and Hydraulic Engineering ($49.99 million, October 2025); USACE Portland District Architecture-Engineer Services ($49 million, October 2025); Air National Guard Horizontal Region 01 ($45 million, August 2025); and Air National Guard Region 3 ($60 million, September 2023). The parent company HDR, Inc. holds additional named OASIS+ Unrestricted Multiple Agency Contract participation ($999 billion placeholder ceiling via General Services Administration), though task order activity against GSA vehicles remains modest in the current source.

Recent activity shows stable delivery-order volume with 45 awards in 2022, declining to 34 in 2023, recovering to 40 in 2024, and 43 in 2025, with 16 awards recorded through July 2026. The 1,835-award cumulative portfolio spans 1990 to July 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, 47 awards valued at $48 million face ultimate completion and recompete exposure, including National Park Service facility design orders, Air Force fire suppression projects, and Corps of Engineers civil works deliverables. Representative recent prime work includes a $10.55 million design package for USDA Agricultural Research Service National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research (awarded April 2022 under USACE Northwestern Division IDIQ), a $8.57 million Air Combat Command facility delivery order at Colorado Springs (awarded September 2023, extended to September 2027), a $5.52 million Combat Rescue Helicopter Simulator Facility design for the Air National Guard across three locations (awarded June 2023 under Kansas City District MATOC), a $3.84 million Truckee River Basin Reservoirs Water Control Management Update (awarded January 2026 under USACE Sacramento IDIQ), a $2.97 million Project Development Study for Alaska Land Port of Entry modernization (awarded August 2023 under GSA MAS), and multiple fire suppression system design and facility improvement orders under the Air National Guard fire protection IDIQ ranging from $61,000 to $734,000 across domestic and overseas installations.

As a subcontractor, HDR Engineering remains minimal in the source data: three named sub-awards to Science Applications International Corporation (electrical engineering services, November 2025), Dawson Solutions LLC (environmental compliance water corrosion investigation, September 2024), and General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. (Brownfields and Land Revitalization support, August 2024) indicate selective teaming on larger federal programs. HDR Engineering's own subcontracting footprint on prime contracts includes recurring partnerships with Redhorse Corporation (design management systems, civil engineering optimization); Construction Cost Management Inc. (cost estimating); Pavement Technical Solutions Inc. (pavement management and inspection); RC Construction Services Inc., a women-owned small business (cost engineering); Anchor QEA Inc., a small disadvantaged business (sediment testing and environmental services); and regional geotechnical and engineering firms (Ciani & Hatch Engineering PLLC, CAL Engineering & Geology Inc., R & M Consultants Inc., Crawford Consulting Services Inc.). This subcontracting profile reflects HDR's practice of engaging specialized firms for cost estimating, geotechnical work, construction management, and domain-specific environmental services while retaining prime design and engineering delivery responsibilities.

Service Contract Inventory captures a narrow slice of federal services activity: SCI-reportable invoicing reached $3.6 million across FY2022–FY2024 (prime records), with FY2024 scaling to $2.7 million across 8.5 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on prime SCI records ranged from $0.00/hr (10th percentile, likely reflecting cost-sharing or data anomalies) to a median of $164.05/hr and $751.93/hr (90th percentile), indicating mixed labor categories from administrative support to senior engineering leadership. The SCI dataset shows minimal use of named subcontractors (1 subcontractor name across prime contracts, 0% average sub-hours share), reflecting HDR Engineering's tendency to perform scope in-house on reportable service contracts. However, SCI represents contracts above $150,000 only and excludes goods, classified work, and non-federal revenue; the true federal services portfolio is substantially larger.

Parent company HDR, Inc. (Omaha, Nebraska) holds multiple additional federal indefinite delivery vehicles and serves as the platform supporting HDR Engineering Inc.'s federal prime and sub presence. The corporate structure names subsidiaries including Hdr-Kleinfelder, Rim / HDR Joint Venture, HDR / RBF A Joint Venture, and Hdr-Urs JV, reflecting prior M&A and strategic alliances. HDR, Inc. itself competes on GSA MAS and OASIS+ platforms and maintains the broader federal relationships that seed task order flow to operating subsidiaries. No 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other SBA certifications appear in the source for HDR Engineering Inc. itself; the firm competes full-and-open on all documented prime awards.

HDR Engineering's competitive posture emphasizes breadth: the 1,196 awards coded to Engineering Services NAICS, 386 to Architectural Services, and 39 to Environmental Consulting reflect a comprehensive design-build and professional services footprint. Delivery orders under the NPS, USACE, and Air National Guard vehicles drive recurring revenue, with task order ceiling values scaling from minimum guarantees ($2,500) to multimillion-dollar design and construction support efforts. The firm's geographic service reach spans domestic installations (Omaha, Nebraska; Colorado Springs; Kansas; Alaska; Caribbean; Pacific Northwest) and significant overseas presence (South Korea, Germany, Belgium, and other NATO locations under Status of Forces Agreement programs). Recent modifications to USACE Northwestern Division and expansion of Air National Guard regional vehicles through 2028–2031 suggest sustained demand for HDR Engineering's architect-engineer and facilities design services across the federal infrastructure ecosystem.
