Other Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors

NAICS 238190 (Other Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors) encompasses specialized construction services focused on exterior and foundational work for buildings and structures. This category includes contractors who perform complex installation, repair, and modification services for building exteriors, foundations, structural components, and associated infrastructure elements. Typical work involves concrete work, structural reinforcement, exterior coating, waterproofing, and specialized construction techniques that require advanced technical expertise beyond standard building construction.

Federal Contract Awards in this category demonstrate significant diversity, with contract values ranging from approximately $5,000 to over $4.2 million. Common funding agencies include the Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S. Coast Guard, Department of Agriculture, Department of the Interior, and Department of Energy.

Small business set-asides are prevalent, with many contracts designated for service-disabled veteran-owned, women-owned, and minority-owned small businesses. Performance locations span diverse geographic regions, including military bases, national parks, research facilities, and government administrative sites.
