WSP USA Inc.

WSP USA Inc., a foreign-owned professional services firm headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, delivers transportation infrastructure engineering, geotechnical training and workforce development, environmental services, and air-quality monitoring to federal agencies as a prime contractor (88% of recent awards) across full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. WSP operates as a subsidiary of Parsons Brinckerhoff Holdings Inc., a parent entity, and maintains named joint-venture subsidiaries including Reid Middleton–WSP for architect-engineering services.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, which accounts for 51 awards and $221.4 million in combined potential value—45% of WSP's total federal portfolio. The Army Corps of Engineers engineering districts rank second, split across three regional commands: ENDIST Louisville ($75 million ceiling), ENDIST Europe ($49 million), and ENDIST Savannah ($49 million). The Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard and the Environmental Protection Agency complete the top-five customer set, collectively representing 96% of awards by count and 91% by potential value. This concentration reflects WSP's core capability alignment with FHWA's geotechnical and transportation research mission.

WSP's capability portfolio centers on three distinct service lines. First, transportation workforce development: instructor-led and web-based training course design, delivery, and updates covering geotechnical fundamentals, driven pile and drilled shaft foundation monitoring, and inspection of unlined rock tunnels, primarily for FHWA's National Highway Institute. Representative contracts include a $2.34 million delivery order for instructor-led National Highway Institute course delivery (March 2024), a $1.185 million order for multiple NHI course delivery (April 2024), and a $750,400 order for geotechnical fundamentals course updates (August 2023), all firm fixed-price under the $19 million FHWA Geotechnical Program IDIQ. Second, transportation infrastructure research and technical assistance: seismic analysis and design of geotechnical features, reinforced soil slope design for highway applications, unmanned aerial systems deployment support, and building information modeling for infrastructure outreach. Third, environmental and dam-safety services: the $43.4 million Clean Air Status and Trends Network (CASTNET) single-award contract (September 2026) to operate and maintain approximately 90 air-quality monitoring stations nationwide for the EPA, and a $75 million architect-engineer IDIQ from USACE Louisville for national dam and levee safety professional services.

WSP's vehicle footprint centers on FHWA IDIQs and BPAs. The $19 million FHWA Geotechnical Program IDIQ (August 2023–August 2028) has generated 11 delivery orders totaling $6.6 million to date. The Indefinite Delivery Contract 693JJ323D000031 carries 13 task orders worth $7.8 million combined potential value. The Infrastructure Research and Technology Deployment Program IDIQ ($26 million ceiling) has funded 8 task orders totaling $4.8 million, while the Structures, Hydraulics, and Geotechnical Best Practices vehicle carries 8 task orders worth $6 million. Newer IDIQs awarded in 2026 include a $48 million FHWA Office of Safety IDIQ (April 2026–March 2031), a $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources BPA from USDA Forest Service (January 2026–March 2033), and the $43.4 million CASTNET contract from EPA (September 2026–November 2031). USACE awarded WSP three separate MATOC vehicles in 2025–2026: the $75 million Louisville dam and levee IDIQ (January 2026), the $49 million Savannah disaster-response architect-engineering MATOC (July 2026), and the $49 million ENDIST Europe environmental services MATOC for German and Polish Department of Defense facilities (September 2025).

Activity has been volatile but remains active. Awards per year ranged from 2 in 2022 to 11 in 2023, dropped to 8 in 2024 and 2 in 2025, then rebounded to 10 in 2026 (through mid-September). Only six awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $2.3 million—a minimal recompete cliff. Combined potential value across all 67 awards reaches $488 million, though only $16.8 million (3%) has been obligated to date, reflecting the large ceiling values on recently awarded IDIQs that have not yet generated substantial task-order activity.

Service Contract Inventory data captures $6.1 million in SCI-reportable invoiced federal services revenue across FY2022–FY2025, with peak invoicing of $2.7 million in FY2023 across 4.9 FTEs, declining to $982 thousand across 1.2 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates span from $25.68/hour (10th percentile) to $3,509.74/hour (90th percentile), with a median around $269.60/hour, reflecting WSP's mix of field and senior technical labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, WSP self-performed all contractor hours with zero average sub-hours share, indicating delivery-team reliance on its own staff rather than subcontractor networks. In its subcontractor role—representing 12% of awards—WSP provides architect-engineering design and hazardous-materials survey services to Reid Middleton Inc. on Coast Guard facility work (awards in September 2022 and October 2023), and serves as a sub-recipient to the National Academy of Sciences on a transportation operations manual implementation grant (June 2024).

Top NAICS categories reflect the capability split: Engineering Services (25 awards), Professional and Management Development Training (24 awards), and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (10 awards). Top PSCs mirror this distribution: Education/Training—Training/Curriculum Development (24 awards), Support—Professional Engineering/Technical (13 awards), and R&D Defense Construction Management/Support (5 awards). Place of performance is concentrated in Washington, DC and Arlington, Virginia for administrative and training oversight, with work sites spanning Portland, Oregon (aopMAP website maintenance for FHWA Western Federal Lands Highway Division) and international locations in Germany and Poland under Army Corps of Engineers environmental and SOFA-related contracts.
