Stanley Consultants, Inc.

Stanley Consultants, Inc., operating as Stanley Consultants Engineering And Architecture, is a Des Moines, Iowa-based architectural and engineering firm that provides facility design, construction inspection, feasibility studies, and infrastructure modernization services exclusively to the Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) as a prime contractor, competing in full-and-open procurement with no set-aside designations across its portfolio. Stanley Consultants is a subsidiary of SC Companies, Inc., a Muscatine, Iowa-based parent entity.

Stanley Consultants operates under a $15 million indefinite delivery contract with USDA APHIS (vehicle 12639521D0055, awarded July 9, 2021, extending through June 30, 2026) that authorizes task orders ranging from $100 thousand to $5 million for facility design, construction, and inspection services across APHIS divisions nationwide. The firm has drawn 22 task orders totaling $5.2 million in combined potential value from this vehicle in recent years, with additional work flowing from a prior $8 million USDA APHIS Nationwide A-E Services vehicle (2016–2021), which generated 33 task orders. Recent representative work includes a $1.661 million delivery order from USDA Plant Protection and Quarantine for design of a new Mexican fruit fly emergence release facility at Moore Air Base (awarded September 9, 2026, completion February 26, 2027); a $1.159 million designer-of-record delivery order for the Animal & Zoonotic Disease Center construction project (awarded October 1, 2025, completion November 30, 2027); and a $293.9 thousand feasibility study and assessment for the Mycobacteriology Laboratory at the National Centers for Animal Health in Ames, Iowa (awarded September 28, 2022, using subcontractor Hera Laboratory Planners, a small disadvantaged business).

Customer concentration is 100% with APHIS divisions. The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Headquarters accounts for 32 awards and $37.8 million combined potential value (88% of the portfolio); APHIS Plant Protection and Quarantine accounts for 14 awards and $4.2 million; and APHIS Veterinary Services accounts for 5 awards and $621 thousand. The top five APHIS entities represent 92% of all awards and cover 100% of combined potential value. Across all 60 prime awards in the portfolio, Stanley Consultants has obligated $14.2 million against a combined potential value of $43.2 million (33% obligated). Work is concentrated on facility upgrades and infrastructure improvements at critical USDA locations including the National Veterinary Services Laboratories and the National Center for Animal Health, both in Ames, Iowa, and Moore Air Base in Edinburg, Texas.

Stanley Consultants regularly engages small disadvantaged businesses and 8(a) certified subcontractors on APHIS facility work. Named subcontractors include Hera Laboratory Planners (Health, Education And Research Associates, Inc.), Urban Infrastructure Group, Inc. (doing business as UIG Texas, a minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business providing construction inspection), and Jimenez Engineering Solutions, LLC (an 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business providing survey services). Across SCI-reportable prime service contracts, Stanley Consultants showed minimal sub-hours engagement — the SCI dataset captures only $30 thousand in invoiced revenue across FY2022 (0.8 FTEs), with median government-paid hourly rates around $17.84/hr. Four awards with combined potential value of $3.2 million reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure within that window. Category concentration is heavy in engineering services (57 awards) and architect-and-engineering construction for administrative facilities (56 PSC codes), reflecting the firm's specialization in laboratory and federal facility infrastructure design and inspection.
