Smithgroup, Inc.

Smithgroup, Inc., doing business as Smithgroupjjr, is a large, integrated architecture, engineering, planning, and interior design firm that operates as a subsidiary of Smithgroup Companies, Inc. and delivers full-and-open federal contract work to civilian agencies across the government without SBA certifications or set-aside designations. The vendor competes as a prime contractor on multidisciplinary design and engineering delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts, with no subcontractor role in its federal footprint.

Smithgroup's customer base is concentrated among civilian agencies managing real property, infrastructure, and facilities. The Social Security Administration dominates activity by award count (356 awards, $234.2 million combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Treasury IRS ($319.5 million across 90 awards), the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations ($140.8 million across 33 awards), and the Department of Veterans Affairs ($114.9 million across 8 awards). The five largest customers by dollar value account for approximately 65% of combined potential value, with Treasury IRS and SSA anchoring the portfolio. In the last five fiscal years, award volume has declined from 42 prime awards in 2022 to 22 in 2026, reflecting consolidation toward higher-value delivery orders rather than new IDIQ vehicles.

Smithgroup's capability footprint centers on architect-engineer services for federal facility modernization: building information modeling, space planning and management, facility condition assessments, HVAC and electrical system upgrades, wayfinding design, and construction administration across domestic and overseas sites. Representative recent work includes a $1.36 million adaptive reuse Program of Requirements for St. Elizabeths West Campus (Department of Defense, March 2026, under National Architecture, Engineering, and Interiors IDIQ), a $2.7 million building conservation services engagement in Tangier, Morocco (Department of State, September 2023, under Worldwide AE Support Services IDIQ), and recurring SSA headquarters support spanning BIM management ($625–$671 thousand per delivery order), space planning ($455–$915 thousand), and facilities management systems ($634–$712 thousand).

Parent contract vehicles position Smithgroup across multiple federal agencies. The firm holds a $125 million GSA National Architecture, Engineering, and Interiors multiple-award IDIQ (awarded November 2022, expiring November 2027) that underpins task orders to GSA Public Buildings Service, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, the Department of Defense, the Food and Drug Administration, and other federal customers. The Department of State's Worldwide AE Support Services multiple-award IDIQ ($50 million, expires April 2027) anchors overseas construction projects in Poland, Israel, Bosnia, Morocco, Tunisia, and Thailand. The Environmental Protection Agency holds a single-award master planning IDIQ ($20 million, awarded March 2025, expiring March 2035). The Social Security Administration operates under two principal single-award IDIQs worth $61 million combined for nationwide A&E services. Smithgroup also holds single-award and multiple-award IDIQ vehicles with the National Archives and Records Administration ($1.5 million, March 2027), the FBI ($30 million, August 2029 for Region 3), the National Institutes of Health, and the Smithsonian Institution. Within the past 24 months, 35 awards (combined potential value $27 million) face ultimate completion and recompete exposure.

Service Contract Inventory data reflects SCI-reportable invoicing of $31.6 million across FY2022–FY2025, with activity concentrated in FY2024–FY2025 ($14.2 million and $14.8 million respectively). The SCI dataset shows a federal workforce trajectory of 3.0 FTEs in FY2022 scaling to 41.6 FTEs in FY2024, then moderating to 37.2 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable work run wide: median around $176.73 per hour, with senior labor pricing reaching $383 per hour at the 90th percentile and junior roles at $8.27 per hour at the 10th percentile, reflecting the breadth of design, engineering, and administrative support roles. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 7 percent of contractor hours, with 90 total named subcontractors, indicating selective use of teaming for specialized technical work while maintaining internal capacity for core design and engineering delivery.

Smithgroup competes in the full-and-open federal marketplace and does not rely on small business set-asides or SBA designations. The vendor's award concentration and infrastructure modernization focus reflect a mature prime contractor positioned on high-value, long-duration IDIQ vehicles serving agencies with substantial real property portfolios seeking multidisciplinary design and engineering support nationwide and at overseas missions.
