About the company
KZF Design Inc., doing business as KZF Design Studio, is a Cincinnati-based architecture and engineering firm that provides design, engineering, and facility infrastructure services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 98% of recent awards, competing predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-aside categories. The vendor's federal footprint spans 413 total awards with $6.64 billion in combined potential value, anchored by a dominant position on military and civilian facility-design IDIQ vehicles, particularly the Air Force's AFICA A-E 2013 Design & Construction Services contract (76 task orders, $42.7 million combined potential value) and the U.S. Coast Guard Nationwide A&E Services 2017-2022 IDIQ (21 task orders, $18.6 million combined potential value).
Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of Defense. The top five customers by potential value represent 96% of combined potential value, dominated by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center Civil Engineer Center ($5.91 billion across 13 awards), followed by the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard ($278 million, 14 awards), and the Department of Defense Education Activity ($98.2 million, 11 awards). By award count, the Department of the Army leads with 66 awards, the Department of the Air Force with 51 awards, and the Navy with 44 awards — reflecting concentration across military branches. KZF also maintains active relationships with civilian agencies including NASA (Glenn Research Center and Goddard Space Center), the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Recent prime work includes a $2.833 million firm fixed-price delivery order from U.S. Customs and Border Protection for on-call A&E services (awarded September 2, 2026, ultimate completion September 28, 2028); a $12.4 million task order from Engineering and Support Contracting Division Norfolk for the Antilles HMS Replacement Design Project at Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico (awarded September 8, 2025, completion October 17, 2029); a $3.7 million delivery order from the Department of Defense Education Activity for Scott Middle School design at Fort Knox, Kentucky (awarded September 19, 2023, completion January 31, 2025); and a $6.2 million SOFA program delivery order from the Army Corps of Engineers for school-age care center replacement design in Okinawa, Japan (awarded March 16, 2022, completion October 12, 2026). KZF holds two primary IDIQs: an $80 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery contract with the Army Corps of Engineers Norfolk District for general A&E services supporting the Department of Defense Education Activity program (awarded September 19, 2024, through March 18, 2030) and a $5 million multiple-award small-business-set-aside IDC with Air Combat Command for A&E services at Dyess Air Force Base (awarded September 15, 2023, through September 14, 2028).
The vendor's capability portfolio centers on comprehensive A&E services: facility design and renovation, mechanical and electrical systems upgrades, building information modeling, structural analysis, design-phase engineering, construction documentation, and site investigation across military installations, federal educational facilities (DoDEA schools worldwide), and civilian agency infrastructure. Work spans domestic locations (CONUS) and international sites including Japan, Korea, Europe, and Puerto Rico. SCI-reported invoicing totaled $9.6 million across FY2022–FY2025 (FY2023 peak at $3.9 million), with FTE delivery ranging from 1.7 to 6.7 FTEs per fiscal year. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid hourly rates ran median around $157/hr, with senior labor pricing through $607/hr at the 90th percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, KZF self-performed all reported contractor hours with no subcontractor engagement, indicating an internal-delivery model rather than fee-based subcontracting.
In its subcontractor role (2% of recent awards), KZF delivers A&E and design services to Booz Allen Hamilton (three task orders in FY2025–2026 for architectural and engineering design services) and Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (two modifications in FY2024 and one task order in FY2026 supporting Air Force Materiel Command headquarters renovation design at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base). Activity has remained relatively flat at 7–11 awards per year over the past five years; six awards totaling $11 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. The corporate structure includes four named joint ventures: Woolpert-KZF JV LLC, KZF-Gresham Smith Medical Joint Venture LLC, KZF-LJB Joint Venture, and B&N/KZF Joint Venture LLC, signaling strategic teaming arrangements on specific federal programs or geographic markets.
