Mckim & Creed, Inc.

McKim & Creed, Inc., a for-profit engineering, surveying, mapping, and planning services firm headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, operates as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) delivering hydrographic surveying, geophysical survey services, and civil engineering design to the Department of Defense and Army Corps of Engineers. The company competes predominantly full-and-open without set-aside designations, with rare exceptions — one total small business set-aside purchase order for $5,600 in sewer line testing for USACE Region 8 Southern Region in February 2026.

McKim & Creed's customer base concentrates sharply on Army Corps of Engineers districts. The top five funding agencies account for 83% of recent awards, led by the Engineering District New York (ENDIST New York) with 92 awards valued at $16.8 million and the broader Department of the Army Corps of Engineers with 47 awards valued at $15.2 million. The Department of the Navy places 53 awards, and the Department of the Army accounts for 31 awards. Two dollars of every three in the portfolio are anchored by Army Corps work. The ENDIST Galveston District holds a $13 million two-award contract set representing a disproportionate share of potential value despite low award count. Top NAICS categories span surveying and mapping services (79 awards) and geophysical surveying and mapping services (51 awards), with engineering services (23 awards) rounding out the capability stack.

McKim & Creed holds two significant IDCs with the Army Corps of Engineers. A single-award $8 million IDC with ENDIST New York, awarded June 2025 and running through April 2030, covers hydrographic surveying, mapping, and data collection for New York and New Jersey waterways and has generated 41 delivery orders to date under parent vehicle W912DS14D0004. A $13 million multiple-award IDC with ENDIST Galveston, awarded April 2022 and extending through April 2027, supports hydrographic surveying and mapping along the Texas Gulf Coast. Representative prime delivery orders include a $1.139 million February 2026 award from ENDIST New York for hydrographic survey of the Sea Bright to Manasquan borrow area in New Jersey, a $335,048.72 September 2024 order from the Army Corps of Engineers Galveston District for multi-beam hydrographic survey work in Houston, and a $340,605.57 July 2025 award from ENDIST New York for Hudson River surveying services from Tappan Zee to Kingston. Work is performed across multiple locations including Raleigh, North Carolina (administrative base), coastal New York and New Jersey (primary operational zone), and the Texas Gulf Coast.

Activity has grown modestly — six awards in 2022 to fourteen in 2024, declining to seven awards in 2026 through April. Recompete exposure over the next twenty-four months is minimal: only two awards (combined potential value $1.1 million) reach completion within that window. In its subcontractor role, McKim & Creed delivers surveying and mapping services to Weeks Marine, Inc. on beachfill projects in Monmouth County, New Jersey (multiple sub-awards through May 2024), and boundary survey services to HDR Environmental, Operations And Construction, Inc. for Defense Supply Center Richmond master planning (November 2024) and Marine Corps Forces Reserve property management in New Orleans (July 2025). The company's 287 recent awards span nineteen federal agencies, with 275 as prime and 12 as sub, generating $45.4 million in combined potential value and $25.1 million obligated to date. McKim & Creed operates exclusively through Army Corps of Engineers indefinite delivery vehicles; it does not hold positions on GWACs, agency-wide IDIQs, or other multi-agency vehicles.
