Summer Consultants, Inc.

Summer Consultants, Inc., doing business as Summer Consultants Inc., is a small business architecture and engineering firm based in McLean, Virginia, that provides design, engineering, facility assessment, and program management services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) with occasional subcontractor engagement on larger federal projects.

The firm operates across two primary service lines grounded in its award history. First, architectural and engineering design services for federal facility infrastructure—mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection system design, HVAC replacements and upgrades, facility assessments, and construction administration. Second, specialized infrastructure studies and modernization support: cooling tower and chiller replacements, building envelope repairs, electrical distribution upgrades, utility mapping, and commissioning services. Representative prime work includes a $3.21 million delivery order from GSA Region 3 for A/E services and garage concrete repairs at the A.V. Bryan Courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia (April 2024); a $1.98 million delivery order from the Marine Corps for Building 2001 barracks renovation and modification at Quantico (July 2024); and a $1.64 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command delivery order for microgrid design with electric vehicle charging infrastructure at Joint Base Andrews (August 2024). The firm holds a $400 million NIH Architect Engineering MATOC awarded June 2026, a $50 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command MEP-FP IDIQ for the Washington area of responsibility (February 2026), a $30 million FBI Architectural, Engineering, and Planning IDIQ (August 2024), a $25 million GSA Public Buildings Service IDIQ for the Washington D.C. metropolitan area (August 2025), and a $13.5 million GSA Region 3 full engineering design IDIQ (March 2022).

Customer concentration centers on federal facility operators and infrastructure agencies. The National Institutes of Health Construction command anchors 38 awards valued at $803.7 million combined potential value—primarily delivery orders under the NIH Architect Engineering MATOC—while Naval Facilities Engineering Command represents 151 awards with $223.2 million combined potential value. GSA Public Buildings Service entities (National Capital Region and Region 3 combined) account for 131 awards with $89.8 million. The top five customers by potential value (NIH, NAVFAC, GSA-NCR, GSA-Region 3, and Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District) represent 34% of combined potential value. Awards are concentrated in engineering services (NAICS 541512, covering 956 awards) and architectural services work across federal facility types including laboratories, office buildings, and administrative facilities.

Activity has remained steady across recent years—64 awards in 2022, 81 in 2023, 72 in 2024, declining to 56 in 2025—with 17 awards recorded in 2026 through mid-July. The vendor faces a $34.7 million recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months, with 74 awards reaching ultimate completion and requiring either recompete or renewal. Three primary parent vehicles dominate task-order volume: an indefinite-delivery contract (N4008014D0451) supporting 202 task orders valued at $30.2 million; contract N4008020D0017 with 131 task orders worth $37.7 million; and GSA contract GS03P17DXD0003 with 99 task orders valued at $14.8 million.

On SCI-reportable federal service contracts, Summer Consultants invoiced $9.4 million across FY2022–FY2024 (prime records only). FY2024 invoicing ran $4 million across 6.3 FTEs, compared to $1.4 million on 1.5 FTEs in FY2022, indicating sustained staffing growth on government-captured service work. Median government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts ran $216.38/hr, with senior labor priced through $751.64/hr at the 90th percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 12% of total contractor hours, with seven named subcontractors recorded. Named subs include Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (design and engineering for military facility renovations and infrastructure projects), DW Solutions LLC (generator replacements and electrical system design), Alpha Construction and Engineering Corporation (a woman-owned small business providing architectural and engineering services), and Johnson Controls Building Automation Systems LLC (integrated base defense security system engineering).

Summer Consultants competes predominantly under full-and-open procurements and holds no active SBA set-aside designations at the corporate level, though many IDIQ vehicles and delivery orders carry total small business set-aside status. The firm's NIH, NAVFAC, GSA, and FBI vehicle positions, combined with sustained task-order activity across civilian and defense agencies, establish it as a primary provider for federal facility A/E services in the Mid-Atlantic and National Capital Region. Recent activity spanning courthouse modernization, military barracks renovation, research facility infrastructure upgrades, and agency headquarters facility work demonstrates capability across diverse federal building types and mechanical systems. The April 2026 recompete exposure (eleven awards worth $42.7 million completing within twelve months) represents near-term competitive opportunity for rivals on NAVFAC, NIH, and GSA vehicles.

Mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) and fire protection engineering consulting firm also providing commissioning and construction management services. We specialize in sustaining, restoring and modernizing existing buildings for DoD, federal, institutional, and historic facilities. Summer Consultants primarily leads A-E teams in IDIQ contracts, serving as prime consultant on over 70 percent of all work performed.
