The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 established this Master IDIQ for construction, alterations, and repair services at VISN 1 and 3 facilities on March 28, 2013, with ordering authority that closed on September 26, 2018. This vehicle is no longer active for new task orders; it ceased accepting orders nearly eight years ago. The combined potential value across 389 task orders totals $381.2 million, with $375.9 million obligated (99% of ceiling).

Awarded work encompasses interior and exterior renovations, HVAC systems, plumbing, fire suppression, electrical and lighting systems, fire and intrusion alarms, communications, site work, landscaping, fencing, masonry, roofing, concrete, asphalt paving, storm drainage, and environmental remediation across VA medical centers in the Northeast. Task order values range widely: recent awards include $13.4 million for Load Center replacement at West Haven VAMC, $8.2 million for Legionella mitigation infrastructure, and $6.6 million for electrical distribution system upgrades, alongside routine maintenance orders under $100,000.

The vehicle shows concentrated prime leadership. Ironclad Services Inc. leads by order count with 143 awards totaling $77.4 million combined potential value, while Williams Building Company, Inc. and Monument Construction LLC dominate by value at $92.7 million and $83.8 million respectively. These three firms, plus Carrigg Commercial Builders LLC and Veterans Development Corporation, Inc., account for roughly 83 percent of all task orders and 81 percent of combined potential value. Task orders were issued at steady volume during the vehicle's active period—approximately 60 to 66 orders annually from 2014 through 2018.

Seventy-three percent of awards were designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), with 24 percent unrestricted and 3 percent SDVOSB sole-source. One order was set aside for Veteran-Owned Small Business. All customer orders funded VISN 1 operations. Work performed at VA medical centers and associated facilities throughout New England, including sites in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Maine.
