Richard Mcelhiney Architect, PLLC

Richard Mcelhiney Architect, PLLC, a sole proprietorship and limited liability company based in New York, provides architectural, engineering, and project management services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (90% of recent awards), operating predominantly under total small business set-asides on an Environmental Protection Agency indefinite delivery vehicle that represents the core of its federal portfolio.

The vendor's customer footprint is heavily concentrated with the Environmental Protection Agency. Seven of ten awards, worth $46.5 million in combined potential value, flow through the EPA's Office of Administration and Resource Management under a $40 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC 68HERC21D0015) established August 24, 2021 and running through August 23, 2026. The remaining three awards split among the Environmental Protection Agency proper ($1.4 million), the Defense Contract Management Agency ($158 thousand), and the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 2. The EPA's total share across both the office and the agency is effectively 100% of potential value when combined.

Richard Mcelhiney's capability portfolio centers on architectural and engineering design, construction administration, and facilities renovation for federal laboratories and administrative facilities. Representative work includes a $4.9 million delivery order (awarded September 30, 2021, completing August 31, 2025) for the Athens Laboratory Consolidation Phase 3B main lab building construction-phase architectural-engineering follow-on services; a $1.4 million delivery order (awarded April 22, 2026, completing April 22, 2027) for Phase 2B main laboratory renovation and consolidation at the Athens Environmental Center, including field research annex roof and HVAC replacement design; and a $556,923 delivery order (awarded June 27, 2023, completing August 1, 2025) for Montgomery Main Lab Building roof and facade design. Additional work spans HVAC upgrades, parking structure restoration, historic facade restoration, and building demolition design across EPA facilities in Regions 1 through 4.

Award activity has been episodic — two awards in 2021, three in 2022, three in 2023, one in 2024, and one in 2026 — with only one award ($1.4 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Service Contract Inventory data shows $4 million in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024 ($733 thousand in FY2022, $1.7 million in FY2023, $1.6 million in FY2024), with an average workforce of 1.3 federal service-contract FTEs across that period. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid hourly rates ranged from a 10th percentile of $359.28 per hour to a median of $384.90 per hour, with senior labor pricing reaching $721.10 per hour at the 90th percentile. The vendor operates predominantly as a self-performing prime; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for 0% of hours. Richard Mcelhiney does engage as a subcontractor — one SCI record shows sub work on a Turner & Townsend Heery prime for historic preservation review as of December 12, 2023 — but that represents a minor share of the overall portfolio.
