Oei-Aecom Joint Venture

Oei-Aecom Joint Venture, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business partnership between O'Brien Engineering, Inc. and AECOM, operates as a prime contractor delivering architect-engineering and facility services to federal agencies under SDVOSB and total small business set-asides, with a portfolio concentrated in VA medical facility design, DLA facility condition assessments, and DoD infrastructure planning.

The joint venture is wholly SDVOSB-designated, with parent company O'Brien Engineering holding SBA Certified Veteran-Owned Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business certifications expiring February 25, 2028. Oei-Aecom competes exclusively under set-aside vehicles — all 21 recent awards carry either SDVOSB or total small business set-asides. Headquarters is Dallas, Texas, with primary NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and PSC R425. All recent activity is prime contracting; the vendor does not appear in the source as a subcontractor.

The portfolio is anchored by two multi-billion-dollar IDIQs and concentrated heavily in VA and Army Corps of Engineers work. The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center holds a $5 billion SDVOSB multiple-award IDIQ awarded September 25, 2025, for architect-engineering services at VA medical facilities nationwide through September 2035 — this single vehicle represents 94% of the vendor's combined potential value and dominates the customer-by-dollars ranking. Three delivery orders have been placed under this IDIQ: a $7.5 million program management and construction management task order (September 1, 2026, completion August 31, 2029), a $287 thousand building demolition order at Poplar Bluff, Missouri (August 4, 2026, completion February 20, 2027), and a $109 thousand domestic water pump installation at the VAPUG Health Care System in Seattle (September 28, 2026, completion April 27, 2028). The Department of the Army Materiel Command at Fort Campbell awarded a $249.5 million multiple-award Enterprise A-E West Region IDIQ under total small business set-aside (April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2036) for architecture and engineering services across DoD Western Region facilities.

Outside the two primary IDIQs, the vendor's customer base spans the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Fort Worth (9 awards, $40 million combined potential value), focusing on ASHRAE energy audits and facility condition assessments for DLA installations. Representative work includes a $914 thousand facility condition assessment at DLA Norfolk in Chesapeake, Virginia (September 2, 2025, completion March 2, 2026), a $996 thousand ASHRAE Level III energy audit and photovoltaic study at DLA Fort Belvoir (July 16, 2024, completion April 13, 2025), and a $1.3 million facility operations and maintenance services order at Carrollton, Texas (August 18, 2023, completion February 17, 2024). The vendor also holds a $35 million Army Corps of Engineers IDIQ awarded January 20, 2023, for multi-discipline architect-engineer services supporting DLA nationwide through January 2030, and a $25 million Great Lakes & Ohio Rivers Division IDIQ awarded September 2024 for civil works river designs through September 2029. An outlier award came from the Air Force (September 26, 2024) for $378 thousand concept design work on Building 8173 secure area expansion at Vandenberg Space Force Base under total small business set-aside.

Activity shows sharp growth in 2024 (ten awards) following three awards in 2023, with five awards in 2026 and three in 2025. Only $21.6 million is obligated against the $5.33 billion combined potential value — the portfolio is heavily weighted toward ceiling IDIQs rather than firm task orders. Three awards with combined potential value $1.3 million face completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited recompete exposure relative to the overall portfolio size.

Service Contract Inventory captures $6.4 million in invoiced revenue across two prime contracts from FY2024–FY2025 (the vendor has no SCI-reportable subcontractor records), with FY2024 showing $300 thousand across 1.2 FTEs and FY2025 showing $6.1 million across 1.6 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates for SCI-reportable prime work ran at $118.85/hr across all percentiles, indicating standardized rate structure. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 35% of total contractor hours, with two named subcontractors reported — this indicates the joint venture builds meaningful sub-tier delivery capability but does not quantify the magnitude of sub spending or sub selection patterns.

The joint venture demonstrates established capability in federal architect-engineer and facility optimization services, with concentration in SDVOSB and small business set-aside vehicles and customer concentration in VA and Army Corps of Engineers programs. The $5 billion VA IDIQ ceiling provides substantial runway for task order growth, though the low obligation rate suggests early-stage deployment against that vehicle.
