Shalom Baranes Associates, P.C.

Shalom Baranes Associates, P.C., a Washington, D.C.-based architectural and engineering firm, operates as a prime contractor delivering design, construction management, building evaluations, feasibility studies, and cost estimation services to civilian federal agencies under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. The firm is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation established in 2003, competing exclusively on the open market across a portfolio of 71 prime awards (100% prime, zero subcontract exposure) totaling $202.6 million in combined potential value.

The General Services Administration dominates Shalom Baranes's customer footprint. GSA's Public Buildings Service accounts for 40 awards worth $126.3 million combined potential value, with the National Capital Region component adding 6 awards worth $41.9 million — together representing 83% of award count and 91% of combined potential dollar value. The Department of Agriculture's Office of Operations contributes 5 awards worth $2.5 million; the Department of the Treasury and USDA's Assistant Secretary for Departmental Management round out the active customer base. Work is concentrated in the Washington, D.C. region, reflecting the firm's architectural and engineering services footprint across federal facilities in the National Capital Region.

Shalom Baranes holds two significant single-award IDIQs anchoring task-order activity. A $125 million GSA Public Buildings Service IDIQ awarded September 22, 2023, through September 21, 2026, has generated recent task orders including a $4.35 million Phase 2 core and shell design delivery order for 1800 F Street NW (completion April 26, 2027), a $1.32 million abatement demonstration and construction design order at the same location (completed June 25, 2026), and a $617,000 feasibility study (accelerated and completed April 17, 2026). A $25,000 USDA Office of Operations single-award IDIQ, running through September 29, 2027, has supported a $1.62 million building evaluation for the Whitten and South Buildings (completed August 29, 2025) and an $869,651 construction management and cost estimation order for the Lot 9 Project (completion August 31, 2027). Recent delivery orders also include a $635,000 USDA AG South and Whitten Building feasibility study (completion July 26, 2026), a $399,978 Blair House moisture investigation technical study (completion September 9, 2026), and a $159,298 USDA vehicle barrier design order (completion September 8, 2026).

Activity has accelerated sharply in recent years, from one award annually in 2022–2024 to five awards in 2026 year-to-date. Six awards totaling $6.9 million face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure on the GSA IDIQ vehicle and several USDA task orders. The firm's NAICS and PSC profiles reflect pure architectural and engineering services delivery — 26 awards under NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services) and 61 task orders under PSC Architect and Engineering–General categories. The $125 million GSA contract nears expiration (September 21, 2026) and will require recompete to continue federal facility work under that vehicle.
