General Construction with Design/Build Capabilities to Support the Installation of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment

GSA Public Buildings Service Region 10 awarded a multiple-award Master IDIQ on September 1, 2022, for general construction with design-build capabilities to support installation of electric vehicle supply equipment at federal agency locations nationwide. Ordering authority extends through August 31, 2032, with approximately six years of remaining ordering period against a shared ceiling of $500 million across four geographic zones. No set-aside applies at the vehicle level; however, 36 percent of task orders have been designated for small business concerns.

Seventy-five task orders worth $43.8 million in combined potential value have been awarded since January 2023, with $38.2 million obligated (87 percent of potential value). Ordering momentum has accelerated unevenly—29 orders in 2023, 33 in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 10 through mid-July 2026—suggesting project-driven demand rather than steady consumption. The most recent award, issued July 13, 2026, funds renovation work at St. Elizabeths Center for $2.07 million.

Five primes dominate the portfolio. Pierless Ventures-Dvorak JV leads with 21 orders totaling $10.3 million in potential value. Southern Aire Contracting holds four orders but $9.1 million in value. James F Thomson JR, Envirospark Energy Solutions, and DCR Services & Construction collectively account for the remaining top positions. These five firms capture 65 percent of all orders and 74 percent of combined potential value; competition among a broader base of 22 primes remains limited.

Work has funded 34 distinct customer agencies, with concentration in a few high-volume buyers. The Department of the Treasury's Internal Revenue Service placed eight orders ($2.3 million), followed by Interior's National Park Service Intermountain Region (six orders, $1.8 million), and Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and U.S. Secret Service (six and four orders respectively). This fragmentation across agencies suggests broad federal adoption of the vehicle rather than reliance on a single customer.

Actual task-order scope deviates materially from the EVSE-focused solicitation language. While some orders fund electric-vehicle charging-station design and installation at federal buildings—typical values $100 thousand to $700 thousand—a substantial portion funds renovation work unrelated to fleet electrification: bathroom renovations, exterior cleaning, interior painting, fire-pump replacement, and facility upgrades at GSA-controlled real property. Task orders range from $2.7 thousand (terminated Fort Collins EV charger project) to $5.14 million (NAS Jacksonville make-ready infrastructure). Most durations are two to four quarters, though longer periods-of-performance extend to 18 months. A notable subset of orders has been terminated for convenience, with significant deobligations of unspent funds.

Approximately 60 percent of task orders carry no set-aside designation; about 36 percent are small-business set-asides; 3 percent are service-disabled veteran-owned small business; and 1 percent are women-owned small business. This mix suggests GSA is executing a balanced acquisition strategy across the vehicle rather than concentrating set-asides on a discrete subset.
