Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.

Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., operating as a division of the Dallas, Texas-based parent, is a large for-profit prime contractor delivering transportation infrastructure design, architect-engineer services, and construction support to federal civilian and defense agencies. The entity competes full-and-open across all awards (no set-aside participation) and has generated 473 recent federal prime awards with $305.2 million in combined potential value, reflecting a major portfolio spanning infrastructure, design, and engineering disciplines.

Jacobs' capability footprint centers on transportation infrastructure engineering—pavement preservation design, bridge engineering and rehabilitation, geotechnical investigation, environmental compliance and NEPA support, and construction phase services for federal lands. Representative work includes a $12.4 million intermediate through final design delivery order from the Federal Highway Administration for the Northeast Entrance Road at Yellowstone National Park (awarded May 2024), a $7.1 million geotechnical subsurface investigation for the Mammoth to Gardiner Road in Yellowstone (awarded May 2024), and a $2.5 million Air Force Sustainment Center depot optimization project under the Army Corps of Engineers Seattle District contract (awarded September 2023). The portfolio also encompasses BIM modeling services and facilities design for Department of Veterans Affairs health care facilities.

Customer concentration is moderate. The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration leads by award count (171 awards, $173.9 million combined potential value) and dominates the actual dollar share across the portfolio. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Seattle anchors the second-largest dollar concentration at $100.2 million across 11 awards, centered on multi-discipline architect-engineer services for military and non-DOD projects in Washington, Idaho, and Montana. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service accounts for 170 awards (tracking closely with FHWA on volume) but carries lower individual award values. Department of the Navy and various Army Corps district offices round out the active set. The two rankings diverge materially: FHWA places many small to mid-sized task orders, while the Army Corps Seattle District concentrates dollars in fewer, larger awards.

Jacobs holds two foundational parent IDVs: a $85 million Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Federal Highway Administration (awarded July 2021, expiring July 2026) and an $85 million Multi-Discipline Architect-Engineer Services contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Seattle District (awarded July 2021, expiring July 2026). Against these two vehicles alone, Jacobs has placed substantial task order volume—the FHWA IDC carries the broader pavement preservation, bridge, and environmental portfolio across national parks and federal forests; the Army Corps Seattle contract carries military construction and facilities sustainment work at installations like Malmstrom Air Force Base. Additional named vehicles include older FHWA transportation engineering contracts (DOT WFLD A-E Services 2015-2020 with 91 task orders) and various Army Corps of Engineers district-level IDCs.

Activity has declined. Awards per year fell from 32 in 2022 to 11 in 2024, with only 12 in 2025 and 1 award captured in 2026 (data current June 18, 2026). Nineteen awards carrying combined potential value of $30.2 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete risk across the FHWA and Army Corps portfolios.

Jacobs operates as a pure prime across recent federal activity (100% prime, 0% sub in the source sample), with no significant subcontractor revenue share flowing through named subs in the award record. However, SCI-reportable federal service contracts show moderate subcontractor engagement: across prime contracts captured in SCI, subs performed an average 13% of total contractor hours, with 17 named subcontractors reported. Jacobs engages specialized firms including BGC Engineering USA Inc., Respec Company LLC, Shannon & Wilson Inc., and Haz-Tech Drilling Inc. for geotechnical engineering, environmental services, and specialized drilling support on complex infrastructure projects. Haz-Tech Drilling, a small business holding a significant FHWA blanket purchase agreement, frequently supports Jacobs on geotechnical drilling for pavement and road rehabilitation projects across western national parks.

SCI invoicing for federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold totaled $9.9 million over FY2022–FY2024, with peak activity in FY2023 at $6.6 million across 18.9 FTEs. FY2024 invoicing declined to $3.1 million across 10.9 FTEs, consistent with the downward award trajectory. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid median hourly rates ran around $141/hr, with senior labor and specialized engineering roles reaching the $309/hr range and junior or support positions at $75/hr. SCI figures capture only service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and exclude goods, products, and non-federal revenue; they represent a small subset of Jacobs' total federal and enterprise activity.
