W.w. Wheeler & Associates, Inc.

W.W. Wheeler & Associates, Inc., doing business as WW Wheeler & Associates, is an Englewood, Colorado-based architectural and engineering firm that provides dam safety assessment, design, rehabilitation, and construction oversight services to the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service as a prime contractor across full-and-open federal competitions—with no recorded subcontract footprint and no participation in set-aside programs. The firm operates exclusively under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and related architectural classifications, with primary PSC codes aligned to Architecture and Engineering–General and Architecture and Engineering–Construction Dams.

W.W. Wheeler's customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters accounts for 39 of 75 recent awards (52% by count) and $84.9 million of the $89.6 million combined potential value—equivalent to 95% of the entire federal award portfolio. Three additional Fish and Wildlife Service regional offices (Region 6, Region 2, and Region 5) and the agency's headquarters line account for the remaining five percent of volume and dollars. This concentration reflects W.W. Wheeler's specialized role supporting the Fish and Wildlife Service's nationwide Dam Safety Program, which oversees more than 300 dams and levees at National Wildlife Refuges, National Fish Hatcheries, and other Interior facilities.

W.W. Wheeler's work rides on four indefinite delivery contracts with Fish and Wildlife Service. The largest is IDC INF15PC00157, which has generated 28 task orders worth $3.1 million combined potential value and anchors the firm's recurring engagement. Three additional IDCs—140F0521D0003 (20 task orders, $3.7 million), INF10PC60459 (11 task orders, $1.5 million), and INF98210AD011 (3 task orders, $595 thousand)—round out the vehicle portfolio. The original IDC was awarded in November 2020 and carries a $20 million ceiling. Concrete recent delivery orders include a $348,347 Total Small Business set-aside definitive contract awarded September 25, 2026, for dam design at Lambs Lake National Wildlife Refuge in North Dakota; a $378,409 delivery order for Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge rehabilitation in Utah; a $409,351 delivery order for comprehensive reviews and seismic analysis of high-hazard dams; and a $350,317 delivery order for Title II architectural and engineering services at San Luis Valley National Wildlife Refuge Complex in Colorado. Services delivered across the portfolio span dam inspections, seismic analysis and safety assessments, rehabilitation design, construction oversight, and technical documentation across Colorado, Utah, Virginia, Montana, North Dakota, and Oklahoma.

Activity has declined materially. Awards per year averaged five annually from 2022 through 2024, dropped to one in 2025, and have reached two in 2026 year to date. Only two awards—valued at $758 thousand combined potential value—carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The firm has executed no subcontract work and maintains no teaming relationships within the source data.
