Kimley-Horn And Associates Inc.

Kimley-Horn And Associates Inc., a for-profit planning and design engineering consulting firm headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, operates as a prime contractor (87% of recent awards) delivering transportation planning, infrastructure design, environmental engineering, and traffic engineering services to federal agencies on a full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis. The firm holds no SBA socioeconomic certifications in the source record. The vendor operates through six named joint venture subsidiaries, including Navy Transportation Partners JV and RGD Consulting Engineers Orlando LLC (a self-certified small disadvantaged business).

Kimley-Horn's customer concentration centers overwhelmingly on the Department of Transportation. The Federal Highway Administration accounts for 97 awards worth $159.9 million in combined potential value, and the Federal Transit Administration accounts for 17 awards worth $93.6 million — together representing the top two customers across both award-count and potential-value rankings and anchoring 71% of recent awards. The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command places ten awards worth $48.8 million, and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Acquisitions holds a single $50 million blanket purchase agreement. This concentration in DOT reflects Kimley-Horn's core capability portfolio: the firm delivers route optimization studies for military surface deployment logistics (Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Transportation Engineering Agency Power Projection Platform studies), traffic data collection and engineering (Buffalo National River Emerging Technology Data Collection Study, $175 thousand), stormwater management design (Naval Academy Annapolis stormwater facilities, $1.54 million), and transportation network assessments for federal lands (Natchez Trace Parkway traffic data collection, $187 thousand). Recent work also includes the New York Penn Station Service Optimization Study ($13.95 million delivery order with the Federal Railroad Administration) and roads-and-utilities site investigation at MCAS Cherry Point ($3.57 million with the Navy).

Kimley-Horn holds three major parent indefinite delivery contracts: a $60 million IDIQ with FHWA for transportation planning, pavement design, performance management, traffic monitoring, safety reports, asset management, and environmental compliance (awarded October 2024, completing April 2030) carrying 23 task orders at $14.7 million combined potential value; a legacy FHWA IDIQ (DTFH7109D00001) with 17 task orders at $4.2 million combined potential value; and a $40 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command architect-engineer traffic engineering and transportation planning IDIQ (awarded May 2024, completing May 2029) serving the Mid-Atlantic Area of Responsibility. The firm also holds a $50 million multiple-award blanket purchase agreement with USDA Forest Service for Land Management Integrated Resources services (awarded July 2025, completing March 2033) and places ten task orders worth $14.3 million across the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. Recent activity shows growth in 2024 (22 awards) followed by a decline to nine awards in 2025 and two in early 2026; four awards worth $20.4 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

In its subcontractor role (13% of awards), Kimley-Horn delivers civil and electrical engineering design, consulting engineering, and geotechnical support to RQ Construction (US Coast Guard Elizabeth City runway recapitalization, NPS Halligan Hall modernization), Noblis (Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office safety support), Mantech SRS Technologies (environmental assessment and stakeholder briefings), Booz Allen Hamilton (Federal Railroad Administration monitoring and technical assistance for AMTRAK grants and loans), and Huntington Ingalls (USS Boise YRBM complex A&E design). The firm acts as a sub-recipient on federal grants routed through state departments of transportation and municipalities, including rail-crossing elimination planning (Chatham County, Georgia; South Carolina CDBG infrastructure projects) and park infrastructure design (Richmar Park masterplan, Oklahoma City Vision Zero traffic safety planning).

Kimley-Horn's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans seven categories from $117.39/hr (high-school support staff) through $337.47/hr (bachelor's-level senior professional with twelve years' experience), with representative mid-range roles at $172.90/hr (analyst) and $207.23/hr (professional), reflecting a non-cleared, education-based staffing model aligned with design and consulting delivery. Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal reportable federal services-contract revenue in the source window (FY2022–FY2024), with FTE delivery centered on 1.8 FTEs in FY2024 across four prime records and eight named sub records — a signature of the firm's project-based, delivery-order model rather than sustained service-contract engagement above the SCI reporting threshold. Combined potential value across all 206 prime and sub awards reaches $421.5 million, with $89.7 million (21% of potential value) obligated to date, indicating substantial contract ceiling availability and ongoing task-order execution across a mature portfolio.
