Jacobs Government Services Company

Jacobs Government Services Company, a large business subsidiary of Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., operates as a prime contractor delivering architect-engineer design, facilities engineering, environmental remediation, and technical support services across federal defense and civilian agencies, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no small-business set-asides. The Arlington, Virginia-based firm holds a diverse portfolio of $18.2 billion in combined potential value across 626 recent awards (97% prime), with primary classification under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and PSC codes for architect-engineer work spanning general design, drafting, structural engineering, and construction-phase services.

Federal customer concentration reflects Jacobs' strategic positioning in defense infrastructure. Naval Facilities Engineering Command leads by award count with 87 awards valued at $577 million, while Naval Sea Systems Command dominates by dollar value with 35 awards totaling $4.01 billion, anchored by Jacobs' $4 billion SeaPort-NXG Multiple Award Contract awarded January 2, 2025, with a January 1, 2029 completion date. The Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations placed 52 awards worth $200.6 million, including Jacobs' $25 million Worldwide Commissioning Engineering Services IDIQ (April 2026, April 2027 completion). The Army Corps of Engineers' Engineering Support Center Huntsville awarded 18 contracts worth $1.22 billion; the Army Corps' Engineering District Mobile placed 14 awards for $764.5 million; and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Headquarters Division issued 32 awards totaling $677.3 million under the FBI IDIQ for Architectural, Engineering and Planning Services. These top five customers account for 40% of combined potential value, demonstrating concentration among defense and overseas-focused agencies.

Jacobs' vehicle footprint emphasizes indefinite-delivery contracts enabling rapid task order issuance. The firm holds the $4 billion SeaPort-NXG contract with Naval Sea Systems Command (123 task orders, $66 million invoiced to date); the $999.999 billion OASIS+ Unrestricted multiple-award GWAC with GSA (December 2024, December 2029 completion) supporting worldwide architectural and engineering services across eighty-one federal agencies; and the $400 million NPS Nationwide General Architect and Engineering Professional Services IDIQ (February 2026, February 2031 completion) for civilian facilities work. Additional vehicles include the $249 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command AE IDIQ (June 2026, June 2031 completion), the $249 million Army Corps of Engineers Planning and Programming Architect-Engineer contract across multiple districts, the $400 million Ballistic Missile Defense Program Architectural & Engineering Services IDIQ (January 2026, January 2033 completion) generating task orders for Malmstrom Air Force Base and other strategic missile defense sites, and the $3.5 billion Defense Threat Reduction Agency Cooperative Threat Reduction Integrating Contracts IV (August 2025, August 2035 completion) for CBRN threat reduction services globally. Recent task order activity across the Architect Engineering Services Korea 2022–2028 IDIQ demonstrates Jacobs' sustained overseas presence, with 30 task orders valued at $35.9 million for Status of Forces Agreement work at U.S. military installations across South Korea, Japan, Germany, and allied nations.

Representative work illustrates Jacobs' capability breadth. On the defense side, Jacobs received a $12.4 billion delivery order from the Air Force (March 2024) under the Ballistic Missile Defense Program vehicle for architect-engineer designs of a consolidated maintenance facility at Malmstrom AFB, Montana, spanning preliminary planning through 35 percent design; a $10.8 million design-bid-build order (January 2026) from DoD's ENDIST Seattle for the Sentinel Operations Group Facility at Malmstrom incorporating ICD 705 and cybersecurity standards; a $7.7 million delivery order (July 2024) for the Integrated Training Center design supporting the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent Sentinel program; and an $8.86 million order (February 2025) for Task 7 consolidated maintenance facility design at Malmstrom at 65 percent completion. On the environmental side, Jacobs received a $6.35 million delivery order (September 2025) for environmental auditing processes supporting Army Reserve Installation Management Directorate EPAS compliance; a $4.37 million EPA Region 2 order (April 2024) for remedial action oversight and technical assistance at the Gowanus Canal Superfund site in Brooklyn, New York, extending through April 2028; and a $4.07 million order (January 2026) under the Kansas City Unrestricted A-E MATOC for remedial investigation and feasibility study activities at the former Ochoa Fertilizer Company Superfund site in Guanica, Puerto Rico. Civilian work includes a $5.43 million delivery order (September 2025) from CDC Pittsburgh for facilities planning and real estate advisory services, and a $6.96 million order (September 2026) from CDC Pittsburgh for undisclosed scope under Executive Order 14398. Recompete exposure surfaces as material: 97 awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $297.9 million, creating near-term pipeline churn across multiple vehicle and agency relationships.

Service Contract Inventory reporting provides a partial view of Jacobs' federal delivery scale. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts from FY2022 through FY2025, Jacobs invoiced $48.5 million with trajectory growth from $9.5 million (FY2022) to $15.8 million (FY2025) across 36.1 FTEs in the most recent fiscal year. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI services ranged from a 10th percentile of $115.70 per hour to a median of $178.24 per hour and a 90th percentile of $273.80 per hour, positioning Jacobs in the mid-to-senior range of engineering professional labor markets. Across prime contracts captured in SCI, subcontractors accounted for roughly 1 percent of total contractor hours, indicating Jacobs self-performs the majority of service work, with only five named subcontractors appearing across the SCI dataset. This low sub-engagement on SCI-reportable work masks Jacobs' broader subcontracting practice on larger design and construction-phase delivery orders, where Jacobs regularly engages small, disadvantaged, women-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned business subcontractors—including named partnerships with firms such as Schnabel Engineering LLC (geophysical surveying), Terracon Consultants Inc. (geotechnical and engineering services), CSI Geo Inc. (minority-owned SDB), and Crawford Consulting Services Inc. (WOSB)—to enhance specialized technical capabilities on complex defense and intelligence agency projects.

Jacobs' corporate structure positions it as a large global engineering firm. The parent company, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., operates four named subsidiaries including Blacklynx, Inc. and joint ventures such as Jacobs/AHL and Jacobs-Cold Regions. The parent entity also maintains federal grant prime activity, broadening the overall federal footprint beyond the $18.2 billion in service contract potential identified in the award portfolio. Activity trajectory shows consistent annual award volume, with 37 awards in 2022 climbing to 81 in 2024, then moderating to 73 in 2025 and 38 in the partial 2026 year-to-date, suggesting a mature, stable competitive posture across established vehicle relationships rather than aggressive market expansion.
