Smithgroup, Inc.

Smithgroup, Inc., doing business as Smithgroupjjr, is a large, integrated design firm headquartered in Washington, D.C., that delivers nationwide architecture, engineering, planning, and interior design services to civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor across full-and-open delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The firm competes without set-aside designation and holds no SBA certifications.

Smithgroup operates as a wholly owned child subsidiary of Smithgroup, Inc. (parent company), a for-profit corporate entity with over 1,400 employees and offices across the U.S. and internationally. The vendor's federal work centers on design, planning, and engineering services for facility modernization, infrastructure upgrades, space planning, building information modeling management, and construction administration across civilian agencies. Recent representative prime awards include a $1.36 million delivery order from the Department of Defense Office of the Under Secretary for Management for architectural and engineering services supporting the adaptive reuse initiative at St. Elizabeths West Campus in Washington, D.C. (March 2026); a $9.33 million delivery order for design services on the Moakley Prospectus project issued by GSA Region 1 (May 2024); and a $2.75 million facility condition assessment and analysis at the Social Security Administration headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland (August 2024).

Customer concentration is extreme and customer-specific. The Social Security Administration dominates by award count with 347 awards (32% of the 1,076 prime awards in the source data) valued at $236.5 million combined potential value. The Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service ranks second with 90 awards but leads by dollar value at $319.5 million combined potential value, reflecting the size of those awards. The Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations accounts for $140.2 million across 32 awards. Together, the top five customers by dollar value account for 67% of the combined potential value in the source dataset. Within SSA work, Smithgroup operates under a $61 million single-award IDIQ awarded July 29, 2021, with completion January 28, 2027, supporting nationwide A&E services to SSA headquarters, field offices, and U.S. territories. The firm also holds a $125 million multiple-award IDIQ from GSA for architect, engineering, and interior design services under the National Architecture, Engineering, and Interiors program (awarded November 2022, completion November 2027). Additional parent vehicles include a $50 million multiple-award IDIQ for worldwide architecture and engineering support services to the Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (awarded April 2022, completion April 2027); a $20 million single-award IDIQ from the EPA for nationwide architect-engineering master planning services (awarded March 2025, completion March 2035); and a $30 million multiple-award IDIQ from the FBI for architectural, engineering, and planning services across Region 3 (awarded August 2024, completion August 2029). A $6 million multiple-award BPA for A&E services under the DCSC-25-RFP-044 vehicle was awarded August 2025.

Activity has declined year over year from 42 awards in 2022 to seven year-to-date in 2026 (tracked as of July 15, 2026), indicating contraction in recent ordering activity. Twenty-eight awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $23.5 million, representing recompete exposure across SSA, GSA, and smaller agency IDIQ vehicles. The vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor; the source data shows no subcontract activity. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, the vendor invoiced $16.8 million from FY2022 through FY2024 ($1.1 million in FY2022, $1.4 million in FY2023, $14.2 million in FY2024). SCI-reported FTE delivery grew from 3.0 FTEs in FY2022 to 32.6 FTEs in FY2024, signaling increased staffing on reportable contracts. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts ran around a median of $176.73/hr, with senior labor pricing through $440.31/hr at the 90th percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 6% of total contractor hours; 43 named subcontractors appear in the SCI dataset, indicating selective subcontracting for specialized work rather than a primary delivery model.

The vendor's footprint across NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services) dominates at 720 awards, with 134 awards under Engineering Services and smaller representation in interior design and construction. PSC coding reflects the same concentration: 682 awards under Architect and Engineering–General for landscaping, interior layout, and design; 97 awards for general A&E; and smaller shares for production engineering, drafting, and facilities operations support. Smithgroup's competitive posture is full-and-open, unrestricted large business, priming against civilian agency IDIQ vehicles and GSA schedules with no subcontracting required or small business set-asides in effect.
