Robert Peccia & Associates, Inc.

Robert Peccia & Associates, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Helena, Montana, delivers civil engineering, surveying, architecture, and landscape architecture services to federal land management and transportation agencies as a prime contractor on infrastructure design, environmental assessment, and facilities improvement projects across the Western United States. The firm operates as a Subchapter S corporation and competes predominantly on full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis, though many awards carry no set-aside designation while the contractor's small disadvantaged business status qualifies it for consideration under federal procurement programs.

Robert Peccia & Associates dominates the Federal Highway Administration's architect-engineer work. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 85% of recent awards, led decisively by the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration with 210 awards and $152.1 million in combined potential value, followed by the National Park Service with 121 awards, the USDA Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) with 56 awards valued at $23.4 million, the National Park Service Pacific West Region with 42 awards valued at $13 million, and the Fish and Wildlife Service with 18 awards. By potential value, FHWA's dominance is even more pronounced at $152.1 million of the combined $200.3 million portfolio total. The vendor has worked with 17 distinct federal agencies across recent years.

The firm anchors its federal presence on two major IDIQ vehicles. The primary vehicle is an $85 million multiple-award IDIQ with the Federal Highway Administration for multi-discipline architect and engineering services, awarded August 5, 2021, with ultimate completion August 4, 2026, which has generated hundreds of discrete task orders across Montana, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Alaska, and Washington for transportation infrastructure design, bridge replacements and rehabilitations, geotechnical investigations, right-of-way surveys, environmental field studies, and planning studies. Representative FHWA work includes a $1.1 million firm fixed-price delivery order for planning and initial design phases of the MT FLAP BOR 2980(1) Sun River Bridge Replacement project, a $767 thousand delivery order for planning services on the Roosevelt Drive Safety and Realignment Project, and a $593.5 thousand delivery order for preliminary design phases of the Two Medicine Road rehabilitation project in Glacier National Park. The second major vehicle is a $5 million single-award IDIQ with the USDA Forest Service Region 1, awarded September 30, 2024, for property boundary surveying and marking services across National Forests and Grasslands in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Peccia also holds positioning on the National Park Service Pacific West Region IDIQ for multi-discipline architect-engineer services supporting park facilities and historic structure work across Western parks.

The National Park Service represents the vendor's second-largest customer base by award count. Representative NPS work spans Title I and Title II architectural and engineering services for facility improvements, historic structure assessments and rehabilitation planning, and visitor amenities. Named projects include design services for the Eppleton Hall drydock at San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park ($205.8 thousand), Title II design services for the Earthquake Trail at Point Reyes National Seashore ($189.1 thousand), Title II design services for the Bolinas Ridge Trail at Point Reyes ($238.3 thousand), and architectural and engineering services for extending the public launch ramp at Echo Bay in Lake Mead National Recreation Area ($133.9 thousand as a definitive contract).

Peccia's activity trajectory shows moderate fluctuation: 24 awards in 2022, 21 in 2023, 24 in 2024, declining to 12 in 2025 and 9 in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all awards reaches $200.3 million with $61.6 million obligated (31% of potential value). With 28 awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months carrying $5.7 million in combined potential value, the vendor faces a modest recompete window concentrated in 2027 and early 2028.

SCI-reported federal service contract activity is minimal relative to the prime contract footprint. The firm invoiced $2.4 million across SCI-reportable contracts in FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $434 thousand; FY2023: $578 thousand; FY2024: $1.3 million), with workforce scaling from 0.6 FTEs in FY2022 to 1.6 FTEs in FY2024. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts cluster with a median around $187 per hour, ranging from a 10th percentile floor of $118.24 per hour to a 90th percentile ceiling of $255.77 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors supplied an average of 39% of total contractor hours, with 21 named subcontractors engaged over the reporting period. This sub-engagement posture and the small SCI footprint indicate that Peccia executes most federal work through its own internal delivery teams rather than building complex supply chains; the firm operates predominantly as a regional prime contractor for task orders rather than as a subcontractor feeder to larger national primes.

The vendor subcontracts on approximately 2 awards in the source data. Robert Peccia & Associates performs civil engineering services as a subcontractor to HDR Architecture, Inc. on a parking garage construction project at Fort Harrison, Montana (awarded January 23, 2026) and on design services for Phase II of a related project (awarded November 9, 2023). These sub engagements represent minor activity relative to the 524 prime awards.

Founded in 1979, Robert Peccia & Associates operates from its Helena headquarters with field operations across the Northern Rockies and broader Western United States, delivering technical infrastructure and environmental expertise to federal land management and transportation missions. The firm's regional market position, established IDIQ footprint with FHWA and Forest Service, and consistent delivery to National Park Service and other interior agencies position it as a capable regional provider for federal civil engineering and environmental design work, with particular strength in Western transportation infrastructure and federal lands facility projects.
