Richter Associates Architects Inc.

Richter Associates Architects Inc., a woman-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business and Asian-Pacific American-owned architecture and engineering firm headquartered in Corpus Christi, Texas, operates as a direct prime contractor delivering architectural design, engineering, and construction-management services to federal agencies across the South Central Texas region and nationwide—entirely through GSA and Department of Homeland Security IDIQ vehicles and without subcontractor engagement. Richter competes in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its active portfolio.

The firm's customer concentration tracks heavily to regional GSA contracting and border-security infrastructure. The top five customer agencies account for 96% of combined potential value, anchored by GSA Public Buildings Service Region 5's $125 million multiple-award National Architecture, Engineering, and Interiors IDIQ (awarded November 10, 2022, with 93 task orders valued at $13.1 million in combined potential value) and GSA Region 7's $15 million single-award IDIQ for South Central Texas (awarded August 25, 2022, with 37 task orders at $6.1 million combined potential value). Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection ranks second by project count (27 awards, $62.7 million combined potential value) with heavy activity at land ports of entry across Texas—Pharr, Tornillo, Laredo, Eagle Pass, and Columbus—where Richter delivers design and construction-management services for modernization and security-upgrade projects. GSA Region 7 itself carries 54 awards at $46 million combined potential value. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (11 awards, $910 thousand) and U.S. Marshals Service (5 awards, $182 thousand) round out the active federal customer set, primarily for courthouse renovation and facility design work. Representative recent awards include a $906,021 September 2026 delivery order from GSA Public Buildings Service for the Santa Teresa Land Port of Entry Modernization Project in New Mexico, a $317,002 September 2025 order from Customs and Border Protection for management and inspection services at Forward Operating Lab sites in Laredo, a $380,148 October 2022 order from GSA Region 7 for paving design at the Ysleta Land Port of Entry in El Paso, and a $233,840 October 2025 order from the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts for mechanical and interior renovations at the District Courts Probation Annex in Del Rio.

Activity has remained roughly flat year over year—six awards in 2022 through eleven in 2024, with six awarded in 2026 so far—with 172 total prime awards across 23 years of federal contracting. Only 10 awards worth $4.1 million in combined potential value carry completion dates inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete pressure in the immediate horizon. All work is performed as direct prime delivery; SCI-reported invoiced revenue across federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $1.4 million across fiscal years 2023–2025 (FY2023: $783 thousand; FY2024: $549 thousand; FY2025: $81 thousand), with median government-paid rates around $451.60 per hour and senior labor pricing through $1,725.13 per hour. The vendor's capability portfolio centers entirely on architectural design, engineering studies, building-envelope assessments, construction-management and inspection services, and facility renovations across federal courthouses, border-security infrastructure, and civilian agency facilities, with no subcontractor leverage—the average sub-hours share across prime contracts is zero percent.
