WSP USA Inc.

WSP USA Inc., a foreign-owned professional services firm headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, delivers transportation infrastructure training, geotechnical engineering consulting, and environmental services to federal civilian and defense agencies as a prime contractor on 55 of 58 recent awards (95%), competing predominantly full-and-open with no set-aside designations across the portfolio.

WSP USA Inc. is a subsidiary of Parsons Brinckerhoff Holdings Inc. (a foreign-owned for-profit entity) and operates through five named joint ventures including Reid Middleton-WSP, WSP-QFK, and WSP HKS. The vendor's concrete capability set centers on instructor-led and web-based training course development for geotechnical and transportation engineering workforces; infrastructure risk assessment and cost-schedule analysis; Building Information Modeling implementation and outreach; environmental compliance and hazardous materials assessment for overseas military facilities; and dam and levee safety engineering services. Recent representative prime work includes a $2.34 million delivery order from the Federal Highway Administration for instructor-led National Highway Institute course delivery (March 2024), a $1.185 million FHWA task order for multiple NHI course instruction (April 2024), a $638,000 task order for geotechnical course delivery (September 2024), a $579,076 task order for Unmanned Aerial Systems deployment support (August 2023), a $1.424 million task order for major project cost and schedule risk assessment (October 2021), and a $2.28 million order supporting FHWA's Every Day Counts Six digital construction documentation initiative (September 2021).

Customer concentration is overwhelmingly FHWA-centric: 50 of 58 awards totaling $221 million in combined potential value—97 percent of award count and 56 percent of the portfolio's combined potential value—fund Federal Highway Administration programs. The second, third, and fourth largest customers by dollar value are the Army Corps of Engineers ($75 million IDIQ for dam and levee safety A/E services, awarded January 2026), the USDA Forest Service ($50 million Land Management Integrated Resources Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded January 2026), and the Corps' Europe District ($49 million environmental services MATOC for overseas DoD facilities, awarded September 2025). A $94 thousand delivery order from the Federal Railroad Administration and two Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard awards round out the active customer set.

WSP USA Inc. holds five major parent vehicles on its book: a $19 million FHWA Geotechnical Program IDIQ (August 2023, through August 2028) under which FHWA has issued 11 delivery orders totaling approximately $6.6 million to date; an Infrastructure Research and Technology Deployment Program vehicle carrying eight task orders and $4.8 million combined potential value; a Structures, Hydraulics, and Geotechnical Best Practices IDIQ with eight task orders worth $6 million; a Construction and Project Management Research and Technology Program IDIQ with seven task orders valued at $4.3 million; and a $48 million FHWA Office of Safety IDIQ awarded April 2026. Additionally, WSP holds the recently awarded $75 million Army Corps of Engineers dam and levee safety A/E services IDIQ (January 2026) and the $50 million USDA Forest Service Land Management Integrated Resources BPA (January 2026), which together represent the vendor's largest vehicle ceilings and mark significant portfolio expansion into environmental and natural resources disciplines beyond its historical FHWA training and infrastructure R&D focus.

Activity has been uneven: two awards in 2022, eleven in 2023, eight in 2024, two in 2025, and six in 2026 year-to-date. Only three awards (combined potential value $1.9 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The portfolio's $395.1 million combined potential value is heavily skewed toward IDIQs and BPAs with long performance periods (five to ten years); only $16 million (4 percent) is obligated to date, reflecting the vendor's role anchoring government-wide contract vehicles rather than executing task orders at scale.

Across SCI-reportable prime service contracts above the $150,000 threshold (33 records spanning FY2022–FY2024), WSP invoiced $5.1 million in federal service revenue: $1.1 million in FY2022 across 3.3 FTEs, $2.7 million in FY2023 across 4.9 FTEs, and $1.2 million in FY2024 across 2.3 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on these contracts span from a 10th percentile of $25.68/hr to a median of $269.60/hr to a 90th percentile of $3,509.74/hr, reflecting a broad labor mix from administrative and technical support staff to senior engineering and subject-matter expert roles. The vendor delivered all reported SCI hours as self-performed work with zero subcontractor engagement across these prime contracts.

In its subcontractor role, WSP delivers field reconnaissance and subsurface exploration services under Reid Middleton, Inc. on a Coast Guard facility waterfront repair project (September 2022) and hazardous materials survey and design services under Reid Middleton on a USCG boat haulout pier replacement project (October 2023). The vendor also acts as a sub-recipient on a National Academy of Sciences grant for transportation operations manual implementation guidance (June 2024).
