Taylor Engineering, Inc.

Taylor Engineering, Inc., a Jacksonville, Florida-based coastal engineering and environmental consulting firm, operates as a prime contractor (93% of recent awards) providing architect-engineering services, hydrographic surveys, geotechnical analysis, numerical modeling, and cultural resource assessments to federal water-resource and coastal-infrastructure agencies. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation that competes under small business set-asides on a portion of its work, though the majority of its awards carry no set-aside designation; it holds two named subsidiaries, Taylor-Woolpert II, LLC and Taylor-Woolpert, LLC, both structured as small business joint ventures.

Taylor Engineering's customer base centers on the Army Corps of Engineers across multiple districts and the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard. The top five customer entities account for 85% of recent award volume: the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (44 awards, $6.2 million combined potential value), USACE Jacksonville District (39 awards, $17.6 million), FEMA (19 awards), USCG (17 awards, $30 million), and USACE Philadelphia District (6 awards, $25.9 million). By potential value, the portfolio is heavily skewed toward a single customer: USACE Galveston District anchors 94% of the combined potential-value share with 2 awards valued at $106 million combined, while USCG ($30 million) and USACE Philadelphia ($25.9 million) rank second and third. The concentration signal is stark — two awards represent more than half the vendor's total potential value, signaling either a recent mega-contract or a high-value multi-year platform.

Taylor Engineering holds position on five primary indefinite delivery contract vehicles with the Army Corps of Engineers. The largest is IDC DACW1701D0012 with 24 task orders; others include W912EP06D0012 (12 task orders, $2.7 million combined potential value), W912EP10D0011 (10 task orders, $4.2 million), DACW1702D0012 (10 task orders), and a USCG Nationwide Ocean Architect Engineering vehicle (2016–2021 series, 15 task orders, $3.1 million). The vendor also maintains a $12 million single-award IDC with USACE Philadelphia District's North Atlantic Division National Planning Center of Expertise for Coastal Storm Risk Management, which runs through September 2026 and is designated a small business set-aside; recent delivery orders under this vehicle include a $1.21 million infrastructure initiative award (September 2024, ultimate completion March 2027), a $497 thousand St. Johns County coastal storm risk management physical monitoring order (November 2025, ultimate completion November 2030), and a $219 thousand Green Harbor Navigation Improvement numerical modeling task (July 2024, ultimate completion July 2025).

Award activity has contracted significantly in recent years — eight awards in 2021 declining to four annually in 2023–2024, with only one award recorded in 2025 as of the source date. Only two awards (combined potential value $2.6 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's NAICS footprint is heavily concentrated in engineering services (100 awards) with smaller exposures in architectural services (13 awards) and surveying and mapping (6 awards); PSC codes align to architect-and-engineering delivery, dominated by general landscaping, interior layout, and design work (73 awards) and non-building facilities construction (18 awards).

On the sub side, Taylor Engineering works under The Compass PTS JV across multiple FEMA production and technical services task orders, providing coastal engineering technical support, flood risk assessment methodology development, building-science subject-matter expertise, and coastal erosion hazard-data services across six task orders spanning 2021–2024. SCI-reported invoiced activity on federal services contracts above the $150 thousand threshold ran $1 million combined across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $377 thousand; FY2023: $354 thousand; FY2024: $286 thousand), with median government-paid rates around $150/hr and senior labor pricing through $243/hr. The SCI dataset reflects minimal subcontractor sub-hours on prime contracts (0% average sub-hours share) and a volatile FTE trajectory driven by episodic task-order activity — the vendor delivered roughly 3.7 FTEs to federal services contracts in FY2022, contracting to 0.9 in FY2023, then expanding to 7.6 in FY2024.

Taylor Engineering focuses on water-related challenges and the effects of water resource activities on the environment. Projects range from dredging and navigation to marine engineering, beach nourishment, and environmental restoration.
