MGE Engineering, Inc.

MGE Engineering, Inc., an Asian-Pacific American minority-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Sacramento, California, delivers structural, civil, and geotechnical engineering services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards), with particular expertise in bridge design, inspection, rehabilitation, load rating analyses, and engineering-during-construction support. The firm competes predominantly in full-and-open federal procurement without set-asides on its prime work, though it qualifies as a Department of Transportation-certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise and self-certified small disadvantaged business and holds positions on multiple-award and single-award IDIQs reserved for or available to small businesses.

MGE Engineering's customer footprint concentrates in civilian infrastructure agencies, with 89% of awards driven by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 5–Pacific Southwest Region (38 awards, $12.9 million combined potential value), the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers across two reporting lines (36 awards combined, $22.3 million combined potential value), and the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (7 awards, $85.6 million combined potential value). The divergence between award count and dollar rankings is sharp: FHWA ranks fourth by award count but anchors 99% of the combined potential value across all customers, driven by MGE Engineering's $85 million multiple-award Central Federal Lands Highway Division Full Service Design IDIQ (2022–2027), against which the firm has issued six task orders totaling roughly $569 thousand through mid-2024. More recently, a $900 million Department of the Army Corps of Engineers MATOC (Multiple Award Task Order Contract) for architect and engineering services across USACE's Southwestern Division was awarded to MGE Engineering on December 8, 2025, with two minimum-guarantee delivery orders of $2,500 each already issued. A $25 million USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region single-award IDIQ for architect-engineer services was awarded September 22, 2025, under total small business set-aside, covering Oregon, Washington, and Alaska through September 2030.

Representative prime work includes engineering-during-construction services for the West Sacramento Project's Yolo Bypass East Levees ($991 thousand, Army Corps of Engineers, delivery order May 2023), fracture-critical bridge inspections across Forest Service Region 5 ($230 thousand, Region 5, delivery order August 2023), construction-phase engineering for the Marysville Ring Levee, Yuba River Basin, Phases 2B and 3 ($886 thousand, Army Corps of Engineers, delivery order March 2022, total small business set-aside), and multiple bridge design, scoping, and preliminary engineering deliveries for the El Porvenir Bridge in New Mexico ($57 thousand scoping, $237 thousand preliminary engineering, $30 thousand post-design, Federal Highway Administration, delivery orders July 2023–August 2024). MGE Engineering also holds a $5 million single-award Forest Service Region 5 bridge-engineering IDIQ (awarded September 2023, completion August 2028), from which eight delivery orders have been issued for bridge inspections, load ratings, and design work ranging from $3,900 to $279 thousand.

Activity has remained modest but steady—4 to 9 awards per year over the past five years, with 2024 showing a dip to 6 awards and 2025 tracking at 8 awards—reflecting the longer delivery-order cycle typical of infrastructure work. Combined potential value across all 100 awards (prime and sub) is $1.05 billion, with only 2% obligated to date, a profile consistent with large IDIQs carrying high ceilings but low near-term revenue burn. Three awards face completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $1.2 million, presenting modest recompete exposure. MGE Engineering subcontracts with Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. on environmental consulting and design services for Army Corps of Engineers facilities projects, including the FY 24 Englebright Dam & Lake Headquarters Building and Maintenance Shop in Smartsville, California (awards October 2024 and January 2025) and the FY 22 Naval Research Laboratory Operations Building at Camp Roberts, California (award February 2024).

MGE Engineering's work concentrates on PSC codes for architect-and-engineering services (68 awards across general, landscaping, construction, structural, and inspection PSCs) and NAICS 541330 Engineering Services (71 awards) and 541310 Architectural Services (27 awards). The firm's federal infrastructure footprint centers on the western United States—California, the Pacific Northwest, and New Mexico—with recent expansion into the Army Corps of Engineers' Southwestern Division through the December 2025 MATOC. The company brings established relationships with the Forest Service across multiple regions, longstanding work with the Army Corps of Engineers for civil works and levee projects, and recurring Federal Highway Administration engagement on bridge and roadway design initiatives under the full-service design IDIQ framework.
