Institute For Building Technology And Safety

Institute For Building Technology & Safety, a non-profit organization and community development corporation headquartered in Ashburn, Virginia, delivers manufactured housing inspection, factory monitoring, technical support, and architectural and engineering services to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The vendor competes full-and-open across all contract vehicles with no SBA set-aside designations. NAICS activity centers on Facilities Support Services (95 awards), Engineering Services (25 awards), and Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (17 awards), with PSC concentration in Inspection—Prefabricated Structures and Scaffolding (109 awards) and Support—Professional: Engineering/Technical (28 awards).

Institute For Building Technology & Safety holds three major federal vehicles anchoring its footprint. The GSA Federal Supply Schedule, awarded March 2, 2022, with a $160 million ceiling running through March 1, 2027, carries 23 labor categories priced from $63.08 per hour (Administrative Assistant I, high school credential) to $309.26 per hour (Executive Advisor I, bachelor's degree with twenty years' experience). No security-cleared positions are offered. Labor categories span inspectors, engineers, plan reviewers, building officials, project managers, and program managers. A single-award FEMA Transportable Temporary Housing Unit (TTHU) Technical Support Services IDIQ, awarded August 30, 2024, with an $8.5 million ceiling and ultimate completion August 29, 2027, funds factory monitoring, quality assurance, forensic analysis, and lifecycle support for manufactured housing units at Berry, Alabama; Live Oak, Georgia; and Washington, DC. A second single-award FRA IDIQ, awarded February 28, 2023, with a $3.6 million ceiling through February 28, 2027, provides architectural and engineering services for code compliance, fire and life safety, and building-code inspections at Washington Union Station in Washington, DC.

Customer concentration reflects the vendor's specialization in disaster-response and housing-oversight programs. FEMA and its Community Survivor Assistance Section account for 74% of award count (113 awards, $111.5 million combined potential value), with the Department of Housing and Urban Development accounting for 11% of count (20 awards, $76 million in potential value, split between the Assistant Secretary for Housing and the Office of Single Family Housing). GSA Federal Acquisition Service, though representing only three awards, anchors 42% of combined potential value ($223.6 million) through the Federal Supply Schedule vehicle. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce, and Federal Railroad Administration represent smaller customer bases. Representative work includes a $24.6 million HUD definitive contract awarded November 5, 2024, for IPIA and SAA monitoring and inspection services under the Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act, running through November 4, 2029 (1-year base plus four 1-year options); a $9.67 million HUD definitive contract awarded October 5, 2024, for Manufactured Housing Design Approval Inspection Agency (DAPIA) monitoring and inspection services through October 4, 2029; a $404,390.94 delivery order from FEMA issued September 28, 2026, for Next Generation manufactured housing unit production facility inspections covering 178 MHUs in Rockwell, North Carolina, completing March 28, 2027; and a $1.89 million FRA delivery order issued March 1, 2026, for architectural and engineering services ensuring code compliance at Washington Union Station, completing February 28, 2027.

Activity has grown modestly in recent years—three awards in 2022, nine in 2024, six in 2026—with the most recent award dated September 28, 2026. Only four awards (combined potential value $2.4 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. Service Contract Inventory data, which covers federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold, shows $6.1 million in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue in FY2024 across 15.4 FTEs, with government-paid median hourly rates around $211.21 per hour (10th percentile $186.86/hr, 90th percentile $242.83/hr). SCI activity dropped to 4.8 FTEs in FY2025 and zero reportable dollars in FY2023, reflecting the vendor's mix of goods procurements (particularly manufactured housing unit purchases), goods-and-services blended contracts, and sub-$150,000 task orders below the SCI reporting threshold. The vendor holds a single named sub-award (as of July 14, 2024) under prime contractor KBC Energy Solutions LLC, providing desktop reviews, field monitoring, technical assistance, and quality assurance for energy-systems installations in Puerto Rico under a mission-execution support contract. The sub-engagement profile across SCI-reportable prime contracts shows zero percent sub-hours share, indicating the vendor builds and delivers its own labor teams rather than relying on subcontractor capacity.
