Merrick-Rs & H Joint Venture LLP

Merrick-Rs & H Joint Venture LLP, a Colorado-based architectural and engineering partnership, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering design-bid-build and design-build services for military infrastructure projects, with no subcontractor footprint and no set-aside participation across its full federal award portfolio. The joint venture competes on full-and-open basis across all 51 tracked awards, totaling $749 million in combined potential value, with particular depth in Naval Facilities Engineering Command and Army Corps of Engineers work.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on comprehensive architect-engineer design and construction support services for Department of Defense installations. Representative work includes a $15.1 million delivery order from Naval Facilities Engineering Command for finalization of the design package for the Joint Interagency Task Force South Command and Control Facility in Key West, Florida (ultimate completion March 2027); a $15.9 million order for P620 engine test cells modification and J85 engine removal at Naval Air Station Jacksonville (ultimate completion September 2026); and a $7.2 million delivery order from Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District for B2800 Series Barracks construction support at Fort Gordon, Georgia (ultimate completion October 2026). Work encompasses planning, design, environmental studies, facility condition assessments, construction support, and post-construction award services.

Customer concentration is extreme and tilted toward Navy infrastructure work. Naval Facilities Engineering Command accounts for 27 awards and $262.4 million in combined potential value, followed distantly by Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District with 6 awards and $251.6 million. Air National Guard holds 2 awards but anchors $225 million of potential value through a single multiple-award indefinite delivery contract. Together, these three customers represent 84% of all awards and 100% of combined potential value. The gap between award count and dollar concentration signals that NAVFAC and USACE place multiple smaller orders while Air National Guard issued one large vehicle allocation.

Merrick-Rs & H holds three primary indefinite delivery vehicles: a $99 million single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southeast effective through May 2030 (36 task orders, $71.1 million combined potential value); a $240 million multiple-award IDIQ with Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District through May 2029 (5 task orders, $11.6 million combined potential value); and a $225 million multiple-award IDIQ with Air National Guard through September 2030 (1 task order, $3 thousand to date). The NAVFAC Southeast vehicle is the firm's primary earnings driver. Merrick-Rs & H also places work under a second NAVFAC vehicle (Indefinite Delivery Contract N6945025D0033) carrying 5 task orders and $13.8 million in combined potential value.

Activity grew from 10 awards in 2022 to a peak of 11 in 2025, then dropped to 3 awards in 2026 (data current through April 2). Fifteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $76.1 million, representing significant recompete exposure—approximately 10% of the vendor's total potential value reaches cliff in the near term. Combined dollars obligated to date total $89 million against the $749 million ceiling, reflecting early-stage drawdown on active vehicles. The vendor has not subcontracted on any tracked award; all 51 awards are prime-contractor delivery orders or IDV awards with work performed directly by the joint venture.

Work is performed primarily at Greenwood Village, Colorado (administrative offices) with performance locations concentrated at Naval Air Stations and military installations in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, plus nationwide coverage under the Air National Guard and National Guard Bureau regional vehicle.
