Mbp-Aecom Joint Venture

Mbp-Aecom Joint Venture, a Vienna, Virginia-based partnership, delivers construction management, facilities infrastructure, and program-scheduling services to the Smithsonian Institution as a prime contractor, operating exclusively on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside participation.

The joint venture's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with a single customer: the Smithsonian Institution accounts for 13 awards (100% of recent activity) worth $1.1 million in combined potential value. Activity has accelerated sharply — one award in 2021, one in 2024, then nine in 2025 and two in 2026 — suggesting ramped engagement under a master indefinite delivery vehicle. Mbp-Aecom holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Smithsonian (effective September 23, 2024 through September 23, 2026, with a nominal $1 ceiling) that serves as the parent vehicle for eleven delivery orders worth $822 thousand in combined potential value. An earlier single-award IDC (issued December 30, 2021, expiring September 30, 2024) spawned the NASM Program Scheduler delivery order ($317 thousand, completed September 2024).

Capability work clusters around facilities and infrastructure maintenance and renovation at Smithsonian museums and research facilities in Washington, DC and New York. Representative delivery orders include revitalization of a museum building and plaza ($139.4 thousand, September 2026), video surveillance system improvements ($139.4 thousand, September 2026), replacement of multiple air handling units ($31.8 thousand, December 2025), HVAC system assessment at the Elephant House ($31.8 thousand, December 2025), Phase 3 steam tunnel and piping revitalization ($31.8 thousand, November 2025), habitat revitalization for beaver, otter, and raven populations ($31.8 thousand, November 2025), Essig Veterinary Hospital facility upgrade ($19.6 thousand, September 2025), creek and bridge abutment stabilization ($19.6 thousand, September 2025), and cost estimating for emergency power system upgrade at the National Museum of the American Indian in New York ($76.2 thousand, August 2025). The joint venture's scope includes program scheduling, cost estimating, compliance support (including Clean Air Act compliance work on a prior $392.4 thousand task order), and construction management across the Smithsonian's diverse properties. Primary NAICS concentration is Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (12 of 13 awards), with one Architectural Services award; all thirteen awards fall under PSC Architect and Engineering–Construction: Museums and Exhibition Buildings.

Mbp-Aecom has obligated $822 thousand (72% of combined potential value) across recent awards. The vendor holds no position on government-wide vehicles, no subcontract work, and serves only the Smithsonian Institution; this posture limits competitive relevance beyond Smithsonian-specific pursuits and teaming opportunities tied to that single agency's facilities agenda.
