M. Arthur Gensler JR. & Associates, Inc.

M. Arthur Gensler JR. & Associates, Inc., doing business as Gensler (DC Division), is a for-profit global architecture, design, and planning firm that provides architectural and engineering services, workplace strategy, real estate portfolio management, and facility assessments to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively — 184 awards over the past several years with zero subcontract activity. Gensler competes in full-and-open competition with no SBA certifications; the firm is a child entity of the parent M Arthur Gensler JR & Associates Inc., headquartered in San Francisco, with operations in Washington, DC.

Gensler's federal footprint centers on design and engineering services for facility infrastructure, overseas building operations, and workplace transformation. Recent representative work includes a $1.628 million delivery order from the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations for project development and design services in Guayaquil, Ecuador (awarded July 2026, place of performance Ecuador, under Worldwide AE Support Services IDIQs); a $3.18 million delivery order from Washington Headquarters Service for real estate portfolio management and workplace strategy services (awarded September 2023, exercising Option III of an existing order); and a $1.126 million delivery order from State OBO for architectural history research services under Worldwide AE Support Services IDIQs (awarded September 2024, place of performance Arlington, Virginia, extending through September 2027). Gensler also holds significant work under a $700 million multiple-award IDIQ with the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Middle East for architect-engineer design services supporting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Ministry of Defense transformation initiative under Foreign Military Sales Case SR-B-HEV, with a minimum-guarantee task order ($5,000) and performance in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with supporting work from Washington, DC.

Customer concentration is heavy but diffuse. The Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Middle East dominates potential value at $701 million across three awards (94% of all combined potential value concentrated across the top five customer agencies), driven entirely by the $700 million Saudi Arabia MATOC ceiling. By award count, the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service (20 awards) and the Department of the Treasury Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (19 awards) rank highest, though combined potential value across those two is only $161.1 million. The Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations holds 7 awards worth $55 million in combined potential value. Top-five customers account for 43% of all awards and 94% of combined potential value — a concentration driven by the single large Saudi Arabia vehicle.

Gensler sits on five primary federal vehicles. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule carries 89 task orders worth $41.1 million in combined potential value, anchoring domestic facility and design work. The OCC Interior Architectural Design vehicle holds 16 task orders ($50.3 million combined potential value) for Treasury Department interior renovation and workplace strategy projects. The Domestic AE Services IDIQ (Department of State Bureau of Administration, $50 million ceiling awarded April 2024, ultimate completion April 2027) carries task orders including facility assessments and master planning. The Worldwide AE Support Services IDIQs (State OBO, $50 million ceiling awarded April 2022, ultimate completion April 2023, now administratively modified and extended) funds overseas building operations, historic preservation, and design services. The FAA holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract with Gensler ($8.976 million ceiling, awarded September 2024, ultimate completion November 2025) for architectural and engineering services supporting FAA facilities in Washington, DC.

Activity has been episodic in recent years — three awards in 2022, four in 2023, six in 2024, two in 2025, and four in 2026 year-to-date. Six awards (combined potential value $6.4 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a modest recompete window. The $700 million Saudi Arabia MATOC, while substantial in ceiling, carries minimal annual obligation; SCI-reported federal service-contract invoicing across all years shows only $4.1 million total ($810 thousand in FY2022, $912 thousand in FY2023, $1.2 million in FY2024, $1.2 million in FY2025), with FTE delivery declining from 2.4 FTEs in FY2022 to 1.0 FTE in FY2025. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, Gensler self-performs all hours with zero subcontractor engagement.

Gensler's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans thirteen categories, with rates from $64.49/hr (administrative support, associate's degree) through $350.73/hr (strategy leader, master's degree with 25 years' experience). No security-cleared roles are offered. The category concentration reflects architecture and planning: the top NAICS code is Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (100 awards), followed by Architectural Services (32 awards) and Engineering Services (20 awards). Primary PSC codes are Support—Professional: Other (50 awards) and Architect and Engineering—General: Landscaping, Interior Layout, and Designing (37 awards).
