NCA Continental District MATOC Pool Solicitation

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration established a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-aside Master IDIQ for construction services across the Continental District on December 3, 2024, with ordering authority through December 3, 2034. The vehicle carries a shared ceiling of $49 million, but only $4.2 million has been obligated across 49 task orders awarded to date, leaving substantial unutilized capacity.

Task-order activity accelerated sharply in the vehicle's first year. The first order issued on March 17, 2025 (twelve initial seed-project awards valued at five hundred dollars each to establish the contractor base), followed by sustained ordering through mid-2025 and into 2026. The pace peaked in 2025 with 37 orders; 2026 has seen 12 orders through June 30, representing a significant slowdown. Task orders cluster in the range of $10 thousand to $450 thousand, with the largest single award at $446.2 thousand for urgent well repair at Fort Bliss National Cemetery. Work spans routine maintenance—HVAC replacement, irrigation system repair, drainage and sewer connectivity—and discrete capital projects such as flagpole replacement and wrought-iron gate refurbishment. All work is performed at named national cemetery locations across the continental United States.

US Diversified Contracting Services Inc. dominates the prime base, holding 25 of 49 orders (51%) and $2.1 million of the $4.2 million combined potential value. Ameritech Contracting LLC ranks second with 6 orders and $1.4 million in potential value. Shellback Construction LLC, Hamilton Pacific Chamberlain LLC, and several others hold smaller portfolios. The top two firms account for roughly 80% of obligated dollars; the remaining ten primes share the balance.

Approximately three-quarters of task orders (37 of 49) are designated SDVOSB sole-source awards, with the remainder (12 orders) carrying no set-aside. All ordering is for the National Cemetery Administration; no other federal agencies use this vehicle.

Typical task order duration runs three to five months from award to completion. Firm-fixed-price terms dominate; modifications appear frequently to address differing site conditions and material delays. With eight years of ordering authority remaining and only $4.2 million obligated against a $49 million ceiling, the vehicle remains in early execution and offers significant growth opportunity for qualified SDVOSBs with construction and facilities-maintenance capability in the cemetery real-estate portfolio.
