Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Centers Construction 2023 - 2028

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 established a construction MATOC at the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center (Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania) on January 20, 2023, with ordering authority through January 19, 2028 — approximately 18 months of remaining ordering window. The vehicle carries a combined ceiling of $100 million and is structured as a multiple-award contract set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, though awarded task orders show 87 percent executed competitively without set-aside restriction.

To date, the vehicle has supported 15 task orders valued at $8.2 million combined potential value, with all obligated amounts drawn. Ordering momentum declined sharply from the initial 8 awards in 2023 to 3 in 2024, 2 in 2025, and 2 in 2026, suggesting the vehicle is mature and approaching saturation of near-term construction requirements. The most recent order, a roof replacement project, was issued July 20, 2026, for $1.548 million to an SDVOSB.

Senate Builders & Construction Managers, Inc. dominates by potential value with four orders totaling $6.1 million, while RLS Construction Group, LLC leads by award count with six orders for $2.1 million combined. The remaining four firms—Fdcd Joint Venture, Serviam Construction LLC, Richard Group LLC, and an unnamed contractor—hold minimal market share. All 15 orders fund a single customer organization (VISN 4), eliminating customer concentration risk but indicating this vehicle serves a narrowly defined, localized mission.

Task orders range from $5 thousand minimum guarantees to $4.548 million, with completed projects spanning roof replacement, clinical flooring, shower repairs, fire door repairs, and boiler plant upgrades. Most orders carry firm-fixed-price and 540-calendar-day performance periods. The vehicle remains active and available for pursuit by SDVOSB firms, though declining ordering pace and tight remaining ordering window suggest limited new opportunity.

Furnishing all labor and materials to perform all work in connection with the MATOC for construction projects valued between $2,000.00 to $7,000,000.00.
