North Arrow, Inc.

North Arrow, Inc., a small disadvantaged business based in Washington, D.C., provides architectural, engineering, and facility infrastructure services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), operating predominantly under total small business set-asides across a portfolio of delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The firm is incorporated as a Subchapter S Corporation and specializes in facility assessments, mechanical and electrical systems design, plumbing, fire protection systems, construction support, and capital planning for federal correctional facilities, energy infrastructure, and civilian agency buildings.

North Arrow's customer base concentrates heavily in federal justice and energy sectors. The top five funding agencies account for 93% of award count, led by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office (15 awards, $185.4 million combined potential value) and the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division (4 awards, $226.5 million combined potential value). The Department of Energy Office of Management ranks third (29 awards, $18.6 million combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing (4 awards, $1.9 million combined potential value). The divergence between the two rankings is pronounced: while DOE dominates award count, the FBI's potential-value share reflects North Arrow's position on a $196.5 million multiple-award FBI Architectural, Engineering, and Planning (AEP) services IDIQ awarded August 15, 2024, running through August 14, 2029. The Bureau of Prisons anchors the largest single vehicle, a $150.5 million single-award total small business set-aside indefinite delivery contract awarded March 23, 2022, and extending through March 22, 2027. North Arrow also holds a $5 million single-award Department of Energy IDIQ for architectural and engineering services through June 26, 2029, and a $1.6 million multiple-award Bureau of Engraving and Printing vehicle for facility upgrades through August 30, 2026.

Recent work spans facility infrastructure across multiple agencies and geographies. The Bureau of Prisons vehicle generated a $9.0 million delivery order (June 26, 2026) for data collection services supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs Central Office, a $2.6 million order (May 18, 2026) for electrical repairs at FCC Yazoo City, a $815,358 order (May 1, 2026) for electrical system repair at a Department of the Interior facility in Springfield, Missouri, and a $698,204 order (April 13, 2026) for architectural and engineering capital planning support at the Bureau of Prisons Central Office. Under the Department of Energy IDIQ, North Arrow issued orders for uninterruptible power supply installation ($89,575, August 13, 2025), Forrestal cafeteria restrooms design ($56,039, September 25, 2024), and facility infrastructure assessment ($548,269, July 28, 2023). The FBI AEP IDIQs have generated minimum-guarantee orders and task orders supporting regions 1 and 3, with North Arrow serving as one of multiple award holders on the master FBI AEP contract.

Activity has remained steady year over year, with 6 awards in 2022 rising to 11 in 2023, 9 in 2024, declining to 4 in 2025, and rebounding to 10 in 2026. Fifteen awards (combined potential value $22.4 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing significant recompete exposure. North Arrow's NAICS footprint is concentrated in Architectural Services (45 awards) and Engineering Services (10 awards), with primary PSC codes spanning Architect and Engineering–Construction for facilities ($23 awards) and general architect and engineering services ($22 awards). The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data, positioning it as a direct contractor to agencies rather than a supply-chain participant on larger government programs. The total combined potential value across all 58 awards is $434.1 million, with $40.4 million (9% of ceiling) obligated to date, indicating substantial unexercised ceiling across the active IDIQ portfolio.

North Arrow provides design, management, and construction support. Services include MEP/Fire Protection design, studies, general contracting, construction management, certified inspection, commissioning, program management, design-build, condition assessments, value engineering, and peer reviews.
