Wiley Wilson Burns & Mcdonnell Joint Venture

Wiley Wilson Burns & McDonnell Joint Venture, a for-profit partnership established in June 2013, operates as a prime contractor delivering architectural, engineering, design, and facilities management services to Navy and Marine Corps installations, competing on technical merit and pricing without set-aside designations across a full-and-open federal marketplace. The joint venture is neither minority-owned nor holds SBA certifications; it anchors its footprint entirely in federal defense facility infrastructure work, concentrated in the National Capital Region, Maryland, and Virginia.

The joint venture's customer base is nearly monolithic by Navy concentration. Naval Facilities Engineering Command dominates at 114 awards and $266 million in combined potential value, representing 48% of the total portfolio value and 83% of recent award count. Department of the Navy Installations Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, and United States Marine Corps round out the top five, collectively accounting for 93% of portfolio value. This concentration reflects the joint venture's strategic position as a single-award IDIQ holder under two parent vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract N4008020D0018 (121 task orders, $72.1 million combined potential value) and Indefinite Delivery Contract N4008015D0452 (114 task orders, $82.6 million combined potential value), both anchored by NAVFAC as the contracting office. The two IDIQs are cited variously as $75 million to $90 million ceiling vehicles in award summaries, with task order issuance concentrated at NAVFAC's Washington area of responsibility.

The joint venture's capability portfolio spans design-bid-build architectural and engineering services, facility renovation and modernization, commissioning support, infrastructure assessments, specialized construction (quantum research centers, underwater test tanks, fire suppression systems, HVAC upgrades), and post-construction administrative services. Representative prime work includes a $5.64 million Building Renovation (WNY-76) in Washington, D.C. for NAVFAC, a $2.8 million Office of Naval Intelligence relocation design at Naval Academy for NAVFAC, a $2.01 million Building 2008 renovation project for Naval Sea Systems Command at Indian Head, Maryland, and numerous smaller delivery orders ranging from $16,000 to $1.8 million for laboratory renovations, roof replacements, water intrusion repairs, and facility studies. The portfolio carries no subcontract footprint; all 238 awards are prime.

Activity has remained stable at 17–26 awards annually over the past five years, with recent trajectory showing 21 awards in 2024 and 17 through mid-2025. Thirty awards carrying combined potential value of $30.7 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a near-term recompete cliff centered on existing NAVFAC and Navy Installations Command delivery order vehicles. Of the $326.8 million total portfolio value, $149 million has been obligated (46%), indicating substantial unexercised value across task order vehicles and a sustained pipeline under the two parent IDIQs. NAICS concentration is entirely Engineering Services (238 awards); PSC codes are dominated by Architect and Engineering–General (101 awards) and Architect and Engineering–Landscaping/Interior (50 awards), with smaller shares in construction-related A-E work for office buildings and educational facilities.
