Schnabel Engineering, LLC

Schnabel Engineering, LLC, operating as a subsidiary of Schnabel, Inc., is a geotechnical and environmental engineering firm that serves the federal government predominantly as a prime contractor on full-and-open architecture and engineering work for the Department of the Navy, the Department of the Army, and the Army Corps of Engineers, with minimal subcontractor engagement and no stated SBA set-aside designations.

Schnabel Engineering operates out of Glen Allen, Virginia and competes in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and related architectural and remediation categories under PSC codes dominated by Architect and Engineering services. The firm's portfolio spans geotechnical investigation, environmental assessment, site characterization, ground water management, storm water design, and facility engineering support — capabilities evidenced across recent work including a $12,853 purchase order from Federal Correctional Complex Petersburg for ground water assessment and pumping systems at the facility (August 2026), subcontract work on geotechnical engineering for storm water management and renovations at Fort McNair with Stantec Consulting Services (August 2024), and engineering consulting services for long-term remedial investigation and feasibility studies at Bonita Peak under CDM Smith-Bay West JV (May 2025 and April 2024).

Customer concentration is heavily oriented toward the Department of the Navy (28 awards) and the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Norfolk (27 awards, $6.8 million combined potential value), with nine awards from the Department of the Army proper and secondary engagement with the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Omaha and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons. The top five agencies account for 87% of recent awards by count and 69% of combined potential value. The firm sits on five named indefinite delivery contracts, with the largest vehicle — Indefinite Delivery Contract N6247000D3401 — carrying 31 task orders. Three other IDCs (W9123605D0026, W9123608D0042, and W9123614D0025) collectively hold 26 task orders worth $3.8 million in combined potential value.

Activity has been sparse in recent years — one or two awards annually from 2024 through 2026 — though the source records 77 total awards across the source's historical window (1999–2026), with a combined potential value of $9.8 million and $5.6 million obligated (57% of potential value). The firm operates predominantly as a prime contractor (95% of awards) with minimal subcontractor engagement (5%, or four sub-awards); SCI-reported activity shows 0.2 FTEs in FY2025 and 0.0 in FY2024, reflecting very limited service-contract invoicing above the $150,000 reporting threshold. Schnabel Engineering is a child entity of Schnabel, Inc., a for-profit organization also based in Glen Allen.
