North Arrow, Inc.

North Arrow, Inc. (doing business as North Arrow Inc.) is a Washington, D.C.-based small disadvantaged business that provides architectural, engineering, and facility infrastructure services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across a portfolio heavily weighted toward single-award and multiple-award IDIQs with the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Energy, and related civilian agencies. All 62 recent awards are prime contracts (no subcontract work), with 100% of recent volume under federal facility infrastructure and design-build support scopes.

North Arrow's customer concentration is dominated by two large IDIQs anchoring the vast majority of dollar value. The Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division accounts for 5 awards carrying $226.6 million in combined potential value, driven by two multiple-award AEP (Architectural, Engineering, and Planning) Region IDIQs awarded August 15, 2024 — one for $196.5 million (Region 1) and one for $30 million (Region 3) — both running through August 14, 2029. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office ranks second with 17 awards carrying $186.5 million in combined potential value, anchored by a $150.5 million single-award IDIQ running through March 22, 2027 for comprehensive A/E, construction, and consulting services supporting the federal prison system nationwide. These two vehicles alone represent $413.1 million (93% of total portfolio potential value). The Department of Energy Office of Management holds third position with 29 awards at $18.6 million combined potential value, primarily smaller delivery orders under a $5 million single-award total-small-business-set-aside IDIQ awarded June 27, 2024 and running through June 26, 2029. The National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing round out the active set, with a combined $11.7 million in two additional IDIQs.

Across its IDIQ footprint, North Arrow competes predominantly under total-small-business-set-aside designations (the FBI AEP and Bureau of Prisons vehicles carry no set-aside at the master-contract level, but the DOE and NIST vehicles are designated total small business). The firm operates across two primary NAICS codes — 541310 (Architectural Services, 48 awards) and 541330 (Engineering Services, 11 awards) — with PSC positioning in Architect and Engineering General (Other) and Architect and Engineering Construction (Other Administrative Facilities/Service Buildings) covering the majority of work. Representative delivery-order work includes a $9.0 million total-small-business-set-aside order from the Department of Veterans Affairs for data collection services at additional sites (June 26, 2026), a $7.1 million total-small-business-set-aside order for data collection and facilities infrastructure assessment (July 12, 2026), a $2.6 million total-small-business-set-aside delivery order from the Federal Communications Commission for electrical repairs at FCC Yazoo City (May 18, 2026), and a $689 thousand order for water-storage-tank installation at Fort Worth, Texas supporting the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons (May 3, 2026). Smaller orders include third-party commissioning services for chiller and rooftop air-handling-unit replacement at an FBI facility ($99,024, September 24, 2026), sprinkler-system design at FMC Lexington under Executive Order 14398 ($633,079, September 11, 2026), and host-builder application support at the Department of Veterans Affairs ($122,929, August 23, 2026).

Activity has accelerated recently — six awards in 2022 to fourteen awards in 2026 (through September) — with 14 awards (combined potential value $23 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The recompete footprint includes expiration of the existing Bureau of Prisons $150.5 million IDIQ on March 22, 2027, representing the largest single recompete risk. The FBI AEP Region IDIQs awarded August 2024 are stable through August 2029 and represent the primary growth anchor in the portfolio, generating minimum-guarantee task orders ($2,000 nominal floor orders) that establish ordering presence across multiple regions. Most recent awards carry firm-fixed-price structures and place of performance split between Washington, D.C. headquarters and subordinate federal facilities nationwide (correctional institutions, Department of Energy sites, FBI regional offices, Treasury facilities). The $41.5 million in combined dollars obligated (9% of $445 million potential value) reflects the early-stage execution profile typical of newly awarded IDIQs with task-order activity ramping through 2026 and 2027.
