URS-SMITHGROUP JOINT VENTURE

URS-SMITHGROUP JOINT VENTURE specializes in engineering services for federal infrastructure projects, with a demonstrated focus on design and construction phase support for Department of Defense facilities. Their core capabilities include integrated architectural and engineering planning for VA medical center upgrades, encompassing design development, construction documentation, and phased implementation services. The firm brings technical expertise in facility condition assessments, design compliance with VA and DoD standards, and construction phase management—including oversight of design intent, contractor coordination, and regulatory adherence during active build cycles. Their approach emphasizes seamless integration of engineering disciplines to support mission-critical healthcare and defense infrastructure, with particular proficiency in navigating federal construction codes and VA-specific facility requirements. The contractor has delivered services exclusively to the Department of Defense, specifically supporting the Veterans Affairs Medical Center program in Louisville, KY. Their engagement reflects a focused relationship with DoD’s healthcare infrastructure arm, delivering engineering support for facility modernization under the Dor Construction Phase Services framework. This indicates a specialized alignment with VA capital improvement initiatives, where engineering firms are contracted to manage the transition from design to execution under tightly defined federal construction protocols. Their primary industry focus is on NAICS 541330—Engineering Services—which in practice means delivering multidisciplinary design and construction oversight for federal buildings, particularly in the healthcare and defense sectors. The firm positions itself as a technical integrator for complex public works projects requiring coordination between architectural, structural, and mechanical systems under federal procurement rules. As a joint venture structured under entity code 2K, the firm operates as a collaborative partnership between URS and SMITHGROUP, leveraging combined institutional expertise without holding individual government certifications. Based in Louisville, KY, the contractor maintains a regional footprint aligned with DoD and VA infrastructure needs in the Midwest, serving as a localized engineering partner for federal facility upgrades.
