MBF Architects, P.a.

MBF Architects, P.A., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in New Bern, North Carolina, operates as a prime contractor delivering architectural and engineering design services for military facility construction, renovation, repair, and infrastructure upgrades, with a customer concentration centered on Marine Corps and Navy installations. The firm competes predominantly in full-and-open competitive procurements with no characteristic set-aside posture; however, several of its parent IDV vehicles and specific delivery orders carry Total Small Business set-aside designations.

MBF Architects' federal footprint is heavily concentrated in Marine Corps facilities work. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) is the dominant customer by dollar volume, with thirty-five awards totaling $162.2 million in combined potential value, while the United States Marine Corps itself is the dominant customer by award count, with one hundred ninety-five awards worth $52 million. These two entities account for 97 percent of combined potential value across the portfolio. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command represents the third-largest customer at thirty-three awards, $12.9 million. Remaining customers include the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (eleven awards for Wilmington District and Fort Worth District combined), the Defense Logistics Agency, and US Special Operations Command. The portfolio spans thirteen distinct federal agencies total.

MBF Architects holds four primary Indefinite Delivery Vehicles that anchor its business. The largest is a $60 million single-award IDV with NAVFAC for architectural, engineering, and design services supporting Marine Corps projects, awarded January 27, 2022, through January 2027, under which forty-six task orders totaling $54.9 million have been issued. A $15 million single-award IDV with NAVFAC for billeting and community support facilities in Eastern North Carolina runs through May 4, 2030, with the Total Small Business set-aside designation. A second $15 million single-award IDV, awarded October 29, 2021, through October 2026, focuses specifically on Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. A $1.1 million USACE Bridging Action for Small Business IDIQ, awarded April 2024 and extending through October 2025, rounds out the vehicle portfolio. These IDVs spawn the bulk of the firm's task-order activity; the five largest parent vehicles account for 186 task orders (combining N4008522D0002, N4008519D9247, N4008508D8411, N4008514D8406, and N4008510D3533).

Representative recent prime awards illustrate the firm's concrete scope. A $9.42 million delivery order from NAVFAC (January 4, 2023) provided additional design services for a P-200 Aircraft Maintenance Hangar at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, with completion targeted October 30, 2026. A $4.36 million delivery order from NAVFAC (September 30, 2024) delivered topographic and physical survey services for Project Q1550 at the Special Operations Forces Marine Battalion Company at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, completion September 30, 2026. A $5.67 million delivery order from NAVFAC (August 31, 2022) covered all architectural and engineering services for the P-226 F35 Maintenance Facility and MAG HQ at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, with completion May 29, 2028. Smaller-dollar work includes a $960,899 Advanced Planning Study and Conceptual Design for a cogeneration facility at Naval Supply Node Camp Lejeune (awarded September 23, 2025, completing July 1, 2026) and numerous facility repairs, renovations, and systems upgrades ranging from $14,000 to $2 million.

Activity trajectory shows a sharp decline from recent years. The firm executed thirty-seven awards in 2022, declining to twenty-five in 2023, seventeen in 2024, eighteen in 2025, and just one through January 2026. The combined potential value across all three hundred forty-four awards is $249.7 million, with forty-five percent obligated. Twenty-four awards are due to complete within the next twenty-four months, representing a $41.8 million recompete cliff — a material exposure for the firm's revenue base.

The firm's capability portfolio is exclusively architectural and engineering services. NAICS concentration runs to 541310 (Architectural Services) and 541330 (Engineering Services), with PSC coding reflecting general A/E work (164 awards under Architect and Engineering—General: Other) and landscaping and interior layout design (121 awards). No subcontract footprint is present in the source data; MBF Architects operates exclusively as a prime contractor. The firm has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2002, giving it over two decades of continuous federal contracting presence focused on the Marine Corps and Navy real property portfolio.
