Schooley Caldwell Associates Inc.

Schooley Caldwell Associates Inc., a small business architecture and engineering firm based in Columbus, Ohio, provides facility assessment, design, and engineering services to federal agencies as a prime contractor under small business set-aside vehicles, with 100% of its recent awards delivered as prime (not sub). The firm operates predominantly under GSA Region 5's $3.75 million Indefinite Delivery Contract for professional A/E services across Ohio, Indiana, and portions of Illinois, competing in full-and-open and total small business set-aside designations rather than 8(a) or other federal socioeconomic programs.

Schooley Caldwell's customer base is heavily concentrated in federal real estate and facilities management. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 5 accounts for 57 awards valued at $15.9 million in combined potential value—93% of the firm's total dollar pipeline and 19% of all recent awards by count. The Department of the Army ranks second by award count at 117 awards but carries minimal dollar value relative to volume, reflecting historical facility-assessment and design work. The Department of the Air Force (23 awards), Department of the Navy (14 awards), and broader GSA Public Buildings Service (12 awards, $268 thousand) round out the customer set. This concentration reflects a regional, facilities-focused business model rather than diversified federal contracting.

Schooley Caldwell's work spans mechanical systems design, facility diagnostics, and construction administration. Recent representative awards include a $39.6 thousand delivery order from GSA Region 5 for boiler replacement review at the Nathaniel R. Jones Federal Building in Youngstown, Ohio (April 2026); a $88.5 thousand delivery order for chiller replacement design at the John F. Seiberling Federal Building in Akron (February 2026); and a $52.2 thousand water-infiltration diagnostic study at the Carl B. Stokes U.S. Courthouse in Cleveland (July 2025). The firm's NAICS footprint is 119 awards in Architectural Services (40% of recent awards), with 11 in Engineering Services, reflecting the design-led nature of its scope. Place of performance centers on federal courthouses, administrative buildings, and GSA-managed facilities across the Great Lakes region, with site visits and construction inspection work performed at multiple locations including Akron, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, and Youngstown, Ohio.

Schooley Caldwell holds a single parent IDV of material consequence: the $3.75 million GSA Region 5 small business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract (57 task orders, running through September 2026). Four legacy contracts—Indefinite Delivery Contract DACA2793D0010 (57 task orders, likely Army), DACA2798D0032 (34 task orders), GS05P05SLD0032 (53 task orders, $2.3 million combined potential value), and the PBS OH IN IL Architect Engineering Services 2017-2022 vehicle (22 task orders, $917 thousand)—anchor most remaining volume, though award dates suggest those vehicles are expiring or fully obligated. Activity has remained sparse in 2025 and 2026 (4 and 3 awards respectively), compared to 7 awards in 2024, indicating declining volume or maturation of the regional workload. Five awards carrying $258 thousand in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent near-term recompete exposure.
