Trahan Architects, (A Professional Architectural Corporation)

Trahan Architects, (A Professional Architectural Corporation), a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in New Orleans, Louisiana, operates as a prime contractor providing architectural and engineering design services to federal agencies on a full-and-open basis, competing without set-aside categories. The firm holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract from the General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service (GSA PBS) for architect and engineer services across Zone B, with a $125 million ceiling running through September 2027, from which five delivery orders have been issued to date.

Trahan's customer base is concentrated across two civilian agencies. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service leads across both award count and potential value, holding three awards with $125.8 million combined potential value; the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts holds three awards with $2.3 million combined potential value. Recent representative work includes a $1.586 million delivery order from the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts for the Florida and Mississippi Courthouse Hardening Program (issued September 2024, completed October 2025); a $401,804.66 hardening design order for the Thad Cochran United States Courthouse in Jackson, Mississippi (July 2026, completing December 2026); a $580,231.46 window replacement design and lead-based paint and asbestos testing order for the United States Courthouse in Oxford, Mississippi (June 2026, completing December 2026); and a $193,432.08 fire alarm replacement design order from GSA PBS for the Dan Russell Complex in Gulfport, Mississippi (September 2026, completing February 2027).

The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor, with no subcontract awards in the source data. The indefinite-delivery contract under GSA PBS Zone B represents the primary vehicle; five task orders have been placed against it for a combined obligated value of $3.1 million against the $125.8 million available potential. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $1.5 million and indicating recompete exposure in that window. Service Contract Inventory reports show minimal federal services invoicing — $1.6 million in FY2025 across approximately 0.9 FTEs — with median government-paid rates at $401.15 per hour and an average sub-hours share of 25% across reported prime contracts. The firm's federal footprint remains narrowly concentrated in courthouse hardening, facility renovation, and building systems design work for GSA and the federal judiciary.
