Merrick & Company, doing business as Merrick & Co, is an employee-owned engineering and architecture firm headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, that provides comprehensive professional services to federal agencies across defense, space, civilian, and research sectors. As a self-certified HUBZone joint venture and for-profit organization, the company has established itself as a significant federal contractor and grant recipient since its registration with SAM.gov in July 2001. Merrick & Company specializes in architectural and engineering services, facility design, construction management, infrastructure assessment, and technical consulting, with demonstrated expertise spanning multiple federal agencies and geographic regions.

Merrick & Company has executed numerous prime federal contracts totaling hundreds of millions of dollars across diverse service categories and funding agencies. The company's contract portfolio includes firm fixed-price delivery orders and definitive contracts for architect-engineer services supporting military facility design, renovation, and infrastructure modernization at installations including Joint Base San Antonio, Francis E. Warren Air Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, and the U.S. Air Force Academy. Notable recent prime contract awards include a $24.8 million definitive contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture for accelerated project management and commissioning at the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Manhattan, Kansas (awarded August 30, 2025), and an $8.0 million delivery order from the Air Force's Engineering and Installation District for the VANCE Undergraduate Pilot Training Design project (awarded June 18, 2026).

The company received a cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Office of the Director, awarded September 30, 2021, valued at an undisclosed amount with a completion date of September 29, 2026. This grant supports the mission and goals of the CDC's Global Health Regionalization Strategy and advances global health security in Southeast Asia, indicating the company's capacity to support international health security initiatives and federal health agency objectives. The cooperative agreement structure, which involves collaboration between federal agencies and recipient organizations, reflects the CDC's confidence in Merrick & Company's ability to contribute meaningfully to strategic global health objectives while maintaining compliance with federal grant management requirements and performance oversight obligations.
