Abhe & Svoboda, Inc.

Abhe & Svoboda, Inc., a Minnesota-based heavy civil construction firm specializing in protective coatings, corrosion control, and infrastructure rehabilitation for water resource facilities, operates as a prime contractor on 99% of its federal award footprint, competing predominantly in full-and-open solicitations with no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides. The company holds a portfolio of 274 prime contracts and indefinite delivery contracts (plus 4 sub-awards) with a combined potential value of $235.4 million across 22 federal customer agencies, anchored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation. Recent prime awards include a $34.6 million firm fixed-price definitive contract from the Corps of Engineers Tulsa District (February 2026) for W.D. Mayo Dam tainter gate repair in Oklahoma through September 2029, a $19.3 million small business set-aside with the St. Paul District (August 2024) for Lock and Dam 5A routine gate maintenance in Wisconsin, a $24.1 million small business set-aside with the St. Paul District (September 2023) for Lock and Dam 5 rehabilitation in Minnesota, and a $15.9 million full-and-open contract (August 2023) for Kaskaskia Tainter Gate rehabilitation at Jerry F. Costello Lock and Dam in Illinois.

Customer concentration tracks heavily to the Corps of Engineers. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers anchors 73% of award count (33 awards across multiple districts) with $54.7 million combined potential value, and when district-level breakouts are included, the St. Paul and Tulsa districts alone account for $78 million in potential value. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation holds the second-largest customer relationship with 10 awards valued at $35.5 million, largely for protective coating services on Hoover Dam, Parker Dam, and Davis Dam. The Department of the Navy and Department of the Air Force represent smaller segments of activity. Abhe & Svoboda also holds a $12 million indefinite delivery contract with the Bureau of Reclamation (awarded September 2022, running through September 2027) for protective coating services across multiple western dam facilities, with a $2.5 million minimum order guarantee; from this IDC, a $2,500 delivery order was awarded in September 2022 for Hoover Dam, Parker Dam, and Davis Dam work in Boulder City, Nevada.

The vendor's vehicle footprint sits on five named indefinite delivery contracts managed by the Corps of Engineers, with the largest concentration on DACW6287C0033 (10 task orders), DACW6883C0053 (10 task orders), and DACW6985C0064 (9 task orders). The company's NAICS profile centers on Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (15 awards) and Painting and Wall Covering Contractors (8 awards), with top PSC codes reflecting dam repair and maintenance work (Repair Or Alteration Of Dams at 7 awards and Maintenance Of Dams at 3 awards). Activity has remained flat over the past five years at three to four awards annually, with only one award recorded in 2026 to date. Within the next twenty-four months, two awards with combined potential value of $15.9 million face ultimate completion and recompete. SCI-reported invoiced revenue for federal service contracts above $150,000 was $1.1 million in FY2024 (3.0 FTEs on a single prime contract), representing a partial view of federal services delivery; SCI captures only service contracts and excludes the vendor's product and construction goods revenue, which dominates its footprint. On SCI-reportable service contracts, government-paid hourly rates held at $180.26 per hour across the 10th, median, and 90th percentiles. The vendor performs nearly all work with its own labor; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractor hours account for 0% of total hours. Abhe & Svoboda holds four recent sub-awards under Aptim Federal Services and Weston Solutions for coating services and equipment procurement and installation work, but sub-award volume remains negligible relative to prime activity.
