VISN5 Multiple Award Task Order Contract Construction 2022-2028

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 awarded a multiple-award IDIQ for general construction services with a combined ceiling of $300 million and an ordering deadline of February 21, 2028, approximately 1 year and 7 months remaining. The vehicle is fully set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses at the IDIQ level, though task-order competition reflects a mixed approach: 45 percent of the 40 awarded orders are SDVOSB set-aside, and 55 percent are unrestricted.

Ordering momentum has decelerated significantly. The vehicle produced 20 orders in its first year (2023), then dropped to 8 per year in 2024 and 2025, and has issued only 4 orders through mid-2026 (3 years after award). Combined task-order potential value stands at $101.2 million, with $99.8 million obligated—nearly complete consumption of the awarded tranche with substantial ceiling headroom remaining. The most recent task order was awarded April 9, 2026.

Scope covers general construction, maintenance, repair, and alteration across Maryland, West Virginia, and Washington D.C. facilities, including mechanical, electrical, HVAC, roofing, painting, demolition, concrete, plumbing, and interior renovation work. Task orders range from small emergency repairs (such as a $7,500 DC operating-room emergency and $2,000 minimum guarantees to multiple awardees) to major projects exceeding $15 million, including a $15.8 million building renovation and a $17.6 million kitchen upgrade.

Competition is concentrated among a small set of primes. Veteran Design & Construction Inc. leads with 6 orders totaling $26.7 million in combined potential value. The top five primes by potential value—Veteran Design & Construction Inc., Valiant Construction LLC, KAR Contracting LLC, District Veterans Contracting Inc., and Hamilton Pacific Chamberlain LLC—capture 85 percent of combined potential value. All 40 task orders fund VISN 5 (single customer), eliminating customer diversification as a bidding variable.

Individual task orders are priced firm fixed price with no disclosed unit costs, ranging from the $2,000 minimum guarantees up to the mid-to-high teens in millions, though the solicitation specified a minimum of $1 million and maximum of $20 million per order. With ordering authority extending through early 2028 and $198.8 million in ceiling still available, the vehicle remains active but shows cooling order frequency in recent quarters.

Task Orders shall include, but are not limited to general construction categories which include maintenance, repair, alteration, mechanical, electrical, heating/air conditioning, demolition, painting, paving and earthwork, carpentry, concrete, roofing, site work, excavation, interior renovation, carpet-window and door installation, electrical, steam fitting, plumbing, exterior and interior painting, plaster/stucco, demolition, masonry or metal stud and sheetrock work, installation of acoustical ceilings and light fixtures, HVAC installation and flooring installation.
