Robert Peccia & Associates, Inc.

Robert Peccia & Associates, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business and Subchapter S corporation based in Helena, Montana, delivers architect-engineer design, civil engineering, surveying, and infrastructure assessment services to federal land management and transportation agencies as a prime contractor on multiple indefinite delivery contracts and task orders. The firm operates predominantly full-and-open (no set-aside designation on most awards) despite its small business status, though it holds and executes work under Total Small Business set-asides on Forest Service and Great American Outdoors Act task orders.

Robert Peccia & Associates dominates the regional Federal Highway Administration architect-engineer market across the Northern Rockies. The Federal Highway Administration accounts for 212 awards totaling $152.4 million in combined potential value—about 76% of the vendor's recent prime portfolio by dollars. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) follows with 56 awards valued at $23.5 million, and the Department of the Interior National Park Service and its Pacific West Region together represent 163 awards across roughly $13 million in potential value. These four agencies account for 85% of award count and 98% of total potential value across the vendor's recent footprint. The concentration is stark on both axes: FHWA dominates both volume and dollars, while Forest Service and NPS-Pacific West anchor the secondary tier.

Robert Peccia & Associates holds or has held multiple parent vehicles. The most visible are the Federal Highway Administration's $85 million multiple-award IDIQ for multi-discipline architect and engineering services (awarded August 5, 2021, ultimate completion August 4, 2026), which has generated 52 documented task orders carrying $8.9 million in combined potential value; the USDA Forest Service Region 1 $5 million single-award IDIQ for property boundary surveying and marking services (awarded September 30, 2024, through September 29, 2029), which has generated at least one task order in the sample data; and a prior $10 million single-award IDIQ with Forest Service Region 1 for structural, civil, water, and wastewater inspection and design services. The National Park Service Pacific West Region IDIQ, valued at $8 million, has generated 41 documented task orders. Representative delivery-order work includes a $786,016 final-design-phase delivery order for the Roosevelt Drive Safety and Realignment Project (FHWA, ultimate completion February 13, 2027), a $1.1 million planning-and-initial-design delivery order for Sun River Bridge Replacement (FHWA, ultimate completion January 23, 2025), and a $386,293 Great American Outdoors Act wastewater-lagoon design delivery order for Holland Lake (Department of the Interior, ultimate completion January 29, 2027).

Activity has remained stable over the past five years, ranging from 11 to 24 awards annually, with 12 awards in 2025 and 11 in 2026 (incomplete year). Twenty-seven awards with combined potential value of $6.3 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing moderate recompete exposure centered on FHWA and Forest Service task orders. On Service Contract Inventory reporting (a partial view capturing service contracts above the $150,000 threshold), the vendor invoiced $3 million across FY2022–FY2025, with FY2024 representing the peak at $1.3 million across 3.6 FTEs. Median government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts run around $187 per hour, with rates spanning $118 per hour at the tenth percentile to $256 per hour at the ninety-ninth percentile, reflecting a mix of junior technical labor and senior professional design staff. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, an average of 28% of contractor hours are performed by named subcontractors; the vendor reported engagement with 21 distinct subcontractors over the reporting period, indicating selective use of subs for specialized disciplines rather than a heavy reliance on subcontracting. The vendor operates as a prime on virtually all federal work in the award portfolio (526 of 528 awards), with only two sub-awards to HDR Architecture, Inc. for design-phase services on a Fort Harrison parking garage project.
