Schwartz / Silver Architects, Inc.

Schwartz / Silver Architects, Inc., doing business as Schwartz Silver Architects, is an architectural and engineering services firm based in Boston, Massachusetts, that operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) on federal design, preservation, and infrastructure projects for civilian land-management and facility-stewardship agencies. The firm is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides, holding three indefinite-delivery contracts totaling approximately $185 million in ceiling value across the National Park Service, the General Services Administration, and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service.

Schwartz / Silver Architects delivers architectural design, historic preservation planning, cultural landscape documentation, HVAC and mechanical systems design, structural engineering, and facility modernization services. Representative work includes a $247,887 delivery order from the National Park Service National Office for Title I design services supporting the Thomas House Natural Resources Office rehabilitation in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania (awarded September 2024); a $175,852 order from NPS Northeast Region for HVAC design as part of Corson Building rehabilitation at New Bedford National Historical Park (August 2025); a $151,214 order from NPS Northeast Region for architectural and engineering services to restore James River viewsheds at Colonial National Historical Park in Yorktown, Virginia (August 2026); and a $123,717 order from NPS Northeast Region for cultural landscape treatment and documentation at Jamestown National Historical Park (September 2023). The firm also holds delivery-order activity under a GSA multiple-award IDIQ for architect, engineering, and interior design services nationwide, including work on the Alburg Springs, Vermont Land Port of Entry Repair and Alteration project.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of the Interior National Park Service Northeast Region, which issued 12 awards accounting for $1.6 million in combined potential value across the portfolio — roughly 86% of award count but only 8% of total dollars. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 5 anchors the dollar concentration: two awards (the GSA multiple-award IDIQ and a delivery order for the Alburg Springs project) carry $129.2 million in combined potential value, representing 64% of all potential value in the portfolio. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 contributes one award, a $50 million multiple-award task-order contract (MATOC) for architectural and engineering services across the Department of Interior and Forest Service, awarded September 21, 2022, and running through September 30, 2027.

The firm's primary vehicle portfolio centers on three indefinite-delivery contracts: a $10 million single-award IDIQ with the National Park Service National Office (Total Small Business set-aside, awarded February 2023, through February 2028) supporting HVAC design, structural design, historic preservation studies, cultural landscape documentation, and facility modernization across multiple Northeast Region park locations; a $125 million multiple-award IDIQ with GSA under the National Architecture, Engineering, and Interiors program, Pool A (Partial Small Business set-aside, awarded November 2022, through November 2027); and a $50 million multiple-award MATOC with the Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service for architectural and engineering services (Total Small Business set-aside, awarded September 2022, through September 2027). Under these vehicles, the firm has issued 13 task orders from the NPS contract, one from the DoI Fish and Wildlife MATOC, and one from the GSA National Architecture, Engineering, and Interiors contract.

Activity has remained modest and cyclical. The firm received two awards in 2022, six in 2023, six in 2024, one in 2025, and three in 2026. Five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $2.2 million, representing recompete exposure in that window. Across the federal service-contract inventory (SCI), the firm reported $287 thousand in invoiced revenue in fiscal year 2024 at 0.5 FTEs, with government-paid rates around $282.54 per hour; SCI reporting shows zero FTEs in fiscal year 2025, reflecting the partial and episodic nature of SCI-reportable task orders relative to the firm's broader delivery-order and IDIQ activity. The firm has no named subcontractors in recent awards and self-performs all reported labor.
