Kpff, Inc.

Kpff, Inc. Kpff Structural Division, doing business as K P F F Consulting Engineers, is a structural and multi-discipline engineering consulting firm headquartered in Portland, Oregon that serves as a prime contractor (91% of recent awards) on federal architectural and engineering services for overseas diplomatic facilities, federal building assessments, and infrastructure projects. The firm competes full-and-open, with no set-aside designations applied to recent awards; it is a for-profit corporate subsidiary of parent company Kpff Inc. (headquartered in Seattle, Washington).

Kpff's federal work concentrates sharply on the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations, which accounts for 27 of 34 characterized prime awards (72% of award count) and $12 million of $15.8 million in combined potential value across the vendor's recent federal footprint. The vendor provides rapid visual screening, seismic vulnerability assessment, and condition evaluation of buildings across overseas diplomatic posts in locations including Cairo, Bratislava, Chisinau, Guadalajara, Lisbon, Santo Domingo, Vienna, New Delhi, and Shenyang. A $1.41 million delivery order (September 2023 through December 2028) covers rapid visual screenings across nine posts; an $860,831 delivery order (September 2022) addresses seismic screening evaluations; and a $149,222 delivery order (September 2023) developed a non-structural bracing guide for State Department posts. A $32,003 delivery order (October 2026, placed two weeks ago) addresses natural hazards peer review at the NOB facility in Dili, Timor-Leste, with completion by April 2027. Outside State Department work, Kpff holds secondary customer relationships with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (three awards, $153 thousand combined potential value) for facility condition analysis and boundary surveys, and the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection for design services at border ports of entry.

Kpff places task orders under five indefinite delivery contracts held with the Department of State and Department of the Interior. The largest active vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract 19AQMM20D0014 (five task orders, $2.6 million combined potential value); secondary vehicles include SAQMMA14D0019 (four task orders, $1.2 million), SAQMMA08D0070 (ten task orders, $435 thousand), and SALMEC03D0029 (seven task orders, $296 thousand). The vendor also holds a $5 million multiple-award task order contract for worldwide seismic and hazard evaluation services with the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations.

Recent activity shows irregular pacing — one award in 2021, four in 2022, five in 2023, three in 2024, and two in 2026 — with only $190 thousand in combined potential value reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. In its subcontractor role (4 awards, 9% of recent footprint), Kpff provides structural and civil engineering consulting to Studio Petretti Architecture, LLC on U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Federal Protective Service hardening projects at border crossings and federal courthouses, and security engineering to RJK Construction LLC on protective design and structural engineering services for security upgrades at the Hatfield Federal Courthouse in Portland. Federal grant work includes two NSF project grants on mass timber research: a design-parameters study for mass timber rocking walls (award September 2023, completion September 2026) and a mass timber floor vibration study (award April 2023, completion March 2025).

Service Contract Inventory reporting shows minimal activity in SCI-reportable contracts above the $150,000 threshold — zero invoiced revenue across fiscal years 2022–2025 and less than one FTE delivered on average across the period — indicating that Kpff's federal work is predominantly project-based architectural and engineering delivery orders and grants rather than ongoing service contracts.
