The Urban Collaborative, Llc: Master Planning, Urban Design, And Architecture

The Urban Collaborative, LLC, a veteran-owned small business headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, delivers master planning, urban design, architecture, and facility assessment services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements across multiple indefinite-delivery vehicles with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and NASA.

The vendor holds a diversified federal footprint spanning 157 prime awards across 41 distinct customer agencies, with combined potential value of $4.74 billion. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 57% of recent awards, led by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers National Capitol Region Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity (35 awards, $15.9 million combined potential value), the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Fort Worth (20 awards, $18.1 million), the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville (16 awards, $380 million), the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Baltimore (11 awards, $36.5 million), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (8 awards, $21.7 million). By potential-value concentration, however, the profile shifts dramatically: the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors 98% of combined dollars with two awards totaling $3.96 billion combined potential value, while Engineering Support Center Huntsville remains the second-largest funder at $380 million across 16 awards. This divergence reflects the Navy's two large-ceiling IDIQs against a far broader portfolio of smaller task orders across Army Corps of Engineers district and support offices.

The Urban Collaborative holds positions on four major parent vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract W912HQ11D0007 (31 task orders, $6.3 million combined potential value); Indefinite Delivery Contract W912DY18D0009 (17 task orders, $5.9 million); the USACE Planning and Programming Architect-Engineer IDIQ (16 task orders, $24.3 million), which carries a $220 million ceiling increased to $280 million through a March 2026 modification; and the RPEC-SWD Master Planning Services vehicle (15 task orders, $12.9 million), a $200 million Southwestern Division architect-engineer contract awarded August 2023 with completion February 2031. Representative delivery orders under these vehicles include a $15.56 million barracks and bachelor officer quarters utilization assessment from Engineering Support Center Huntsville (awarded July 29, 2024, completing November 24, 2026), a $3.86 million FY24 master planning delivery order for Fort Bliss, Tyndall Air Force Base, and Nellis Air Force Base under the RPEC vehicle (awarded September 27, 2024), a $2.22 million Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam master planning order (September 28, 2024), and a $1.145 million architectural services delivery order from NIST for the Table Mountain Field Site Master Plan in Boulder, Colorado under a separate $15 million NIST multiple-award IDIQ (awarded September 18, 2025, completion April 21, 2027). Most recent work includes a $927,058.69 Stennis Space Center master plan delivery order from NASA (awarded October 1, 2026, completion September 30, 2028).

Activity has remained stable year over year across the trailing five years — eight awards in 2022 through sixteen in both 2023 and 2024 — with sixteen orders in 2025 and six recorded through early October 2026. Twenty-three awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $38.6 million, representing near-term recompete exposure on existing vehicles and task orders. The vendor's NAICS and PSC coding reflects its core capability: landscape architectural services (43 awards), engineering services (40 awards), and architectural services (38 awards) dominate the portfolio, with professional and management development training (36 awards) and education and training work (26 awards combined) indicating a secondary advisory and training function alongside infrastructure planning.

Service Contract Inventory reporting captures thirteen records (twelve as prime, one as named subcontractor) across FY2022–FY2025, with zero invoiced revenue reported across all fiscal years; the SCI dataset shows minimal FTE delivery (1.1 FTEs in FY2022, zero thereafter). This sparse SCI activity reflects the vendor's business model: most federal work flows through fixed-price delivery orders on IDIQs and IDCs, which fall outside the SCI reporting threshold or are recorded under the parent vehicle rather than as discrete service contract records. The vendor operates as a pure prime (100% of recent awards as prime, zero subcontract engagement), meaning no named subcontractors appear in the award footprint and teaming arrangements flow through prime relationships on multi-award vehicles rather than through direct federal subcontracting.
