Michael Baker International, Inc.

Michael Baker International, Inc., a large for-profit engineering and consulting firm headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, operates primarily as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) across infrastructure, environmental, and facilities engineering for civilian federal agencies, competing in the full-and-open market without set-aside designations. The company is a subsidiary of Michael Baker International Holdco Corporation and delivers concrete services including bridge engineering and highway infrastructure support, environmental assessments and restoration, facilities condition surveys and construction management, geospatial analysis and GIS systems, pipeline and hazardous materials data processing, and overseas building project engineering.

Customer concentration is steep and regionally fragmented. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 46% of recent awards, led by the Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region (95 awards, $302.3 million combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Philadelphia (60 awards, $20.3 million), the Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations (45 awards, $92.2 million), the Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (43 awards, $50.8 million), and the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Fort Worth (38 awards, $11 million). By potential value, the Environmental Protection Agency Office for Water ranks second ($222.8 million across 9 awards), while the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations holds $76.7 million across 36 awards. The National Park Service Intermountain Region anchors both volume and dollar concentration, but EPA's smaller award count carries significantly larger per-task-order value, signaling a mix of high-volume commodity work and large-dollar technical studies.

Michael Baker International holds three dominant vehicle positions. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule carries 295 task orders worth $458.7 million in combined potential value and serves as the primary vehicle for delivery-order work across agencies. The Professional Services Schedule subsidiary vehicle holds 89 task orders valued at $292.2 million. The company also places work under two master IDIQs: a Cost Estimating IDIQ with the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations ($5 million ceiling, awarded October 2024, ultimate completion October 2027) and a Technical Support Services BPA with the Federal Highway Administration ($40 million ceiling, awarded September 2024, running through September 2029). Recent deliverables on these vehicles include a $5.3 million FHWA bridge preservation expert task group support call, a $686,400 FHWA structural analysis guide for bridge design and evaluation BPA call, and a $5.7 million Department of Defense delivery order for Next Generation 9-1-1 Geographic Information System data development under the MAS.

Activity has accelerated sharply in 2025 (33 awards versus 4 in both 2023 and 2024), following a low of 12 awards in 2022, and the company holds a combined potential value of $1.85 billion across 606 awards. Only three awards (combined potential value $2 million) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, limiting recompete exposure in that window. The top NAICS categories are Other Computer Related Services (268 awards), Engineering Services (89 awards), and Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (87 awards), with top PSC codes aligned to Support–Professional: Other (118 awards), Other Environmental Services (69 awards), and IT and Telecom–Other IT and Telecommunications (68 awards).

Michael Baker International operates as a subcontractor in a small minority of its footprint — 5% of recent awards are subcontract work, all routed to International Business Machines Corporation (IT and telecommunications support, operational and maintenance services to FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program Risk Map Customer Data & Services). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subs account for an average of 17% of contractor hours, with 10 named subcontractors. The vendor reported $8 million in SCI-invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2025 (FY2022: $2.3 million across 7.5 FTEs; FY2023: $2.2 million across 5.1 FTEs; FY2024: $1.9 million across 7.4 FTEs; FY2025: $1.6 million across 4.2 FTEs), reflecting declining SCI-captured revenue despite higher overall award volume in 2025. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts run a median of $159 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $101.59 per hour and the 90th percentile at $236 per hour. GSA Schedule labor rates span from $41.10 per hour (Technician-II, high school education, no experience required) through $262.92 per hour (Program Manager / Principal-XVI, bachelor's degree, 20 years experience), covering 45 unique labor categories across technician, IT professional, engineering, and management disciplines with no security-cleared offerings.
