Alares LLC

Alares LLC, headquartered in Quincy, Massachusetts, is an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Business that operates as a prime contractor delivering architectural, engineering, construction management, and facilities modernization services to the federal government, predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides. The firm competes almost entirely in set-aside categories; across 268 total awards, 100% are prime awards with no subcontractor footprint reported. Alares holds a concentrated, high-value portfolio centered on the Department of Veterans Affairs enterprise across multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks and the VA Technology Acquisition Center.

Alares' capability portfolio centers on VA medical center infrastructure modernization: HVAC system upgrades, chilled water distribution design and replacement, boiler plant design and replacement, fire alarm system replacements, seismic studies and modifications, commissioning and retro-commissioning services, utilities optimization, and construction program management. Representative contract work includes a $1.38 million delivery order from VA Technology Acquisition Center for CMS services in Columbia, South Carolina (awarded December 2025, completion November 2028); a $1.29 million delivery order for EHRM construction program service support at Amarillo, Texas (awarded July 2025, completion November 2027); a $5.58 million delivery order from VISN 6 for construction management services spanning Asheville, Durham, Fayetteville, and Salem VAMCs (awarded September 2023, completion September 2027); and a $3.14 million delivery order from VISN 19 for construction management services in Aurora, Colorado (awarded September 2023, completion September 2025). GSA Schedule labor offerings span administrative and clerical roles at $58.79 per hour through senior scientist positions at $143.68 per hour and estimator roles at $148.25 per hour, reflecting a non-security-cleared, civilian construction and engineering services profile.

Customer concentration is extreme and heavily weighted toward VA programs. The top five customer agencies account for 85% of combined potential value. VA Technology Acquisition Center anchors the portfolio at $683.1 million combined potential value across 14 awards—primarily the recently awarded $631 million multiple-award BPA for construction management and program management services (awarded August 2026, completion August 2031, SDVOSB set-aside) against the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. VISN 1 contributes $73.7 million across 57 awards; VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management, $59.9 million across 17 awards; VISN 8, $45.6 million across 5 awards; and VA Headquarters, $43.6 million across 45 awards. General Services Administration Region 1 rounds out the top five at $9.8 million across 33 awards, primarily facility efficiency improvement studies and HVAC design work at federal buildings in the Northeast. This VA-dominant posture reflects a three-decade-long partnership centered on medical center facilities engineering.

Alares holds multiple significant parent vehicles anchoring its bid capacity. The $631 million multiple-award BPA with VA Technology Acquisition Center (awarded August 2026, SDVOSB set-aside, completion August 2031) is the largest vehicle by ceiling and primary source of future task-order pipeline. A $50 million multiple-award IDIQ with VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management for nationwide construction management services (awarded March 2022, SDVOSB set-aside, completion March 2027) has issued at least 29 task orders; recent orders include a $1.54 million delivery order for EHRM construction management oversight in Memphis, Tennessee (April 2025) and a $2.77 million delivery order for nationwide seismic studies and modifications (October 2024). A $44.9 million multiple-award BPA with VISN 8 for commissioning, re-commissioning, and retro-commissioning services (awarded August 2025, SDVOSB set-aside, completion July 2030) has supported major retro-commissioning work including a $2.05 million delivery order for VISN 17 retro-commissioning and energy audit services (February 2025). A $20.9 million single-award BPA with VISN 16 for construction program management and related services (awarded September 2024, SDVOSB set-aside, completion August 2029) has sustained a high volume of task orders ($35,793 to $772,320 per call) supporting medical centers in Biloxi, Shreveport, New Orleans, Jackson, Alexandria, Little Rock, and Houston across Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Texas. A $10 million multiple-award IDIQ with VISN 1 for comprehensive professional engineering services across New England (awarded November 2025, SDVOSB set-aside, completion November 2030) supports architectural design, civil and electrical engineering, construction management, and facility assessments at VA medical centers. Alares also holds a $3.85 million multiple-award IDIQ with VISN 21 for architectural and engineering design services in California, Nevada, and the Philippines (awarded August 2023, SDVOSB set-aside, completion August 2027). On the GSA side, work is executed through the Multiple Award Schedule, which carries 119 task orders valued at $807.5 million combined potential value, primarily architectural and engineering delivery orders for federal building efficiency improvements, HVAC design, and facility studies across GSA regions.

Activity has grown materially year over year: 14 awards in 2022, rising to 28 in 2024, with 22 awards in 2025 and 17 in 2026 (through late September). The combined potential value across all 268 awards totals $1.06 billion, with $101.5 million (10% of combined potential value) obligated to date, reflecting the large volume of indefinite delivery vehicles and BPA ceilings not yet drawn. The recompete cliff presents moderate near-term exposure: 21 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $20.2 million, centered on VISN 16 construction program management BPA calls and VISN 1 regional engineering task orders reaching expiration through August 2029. Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal direct FTE reporting (0.3 FTEs across all fiscal years FY2022–FY2025) and zero invoiced revenue in the SCI dataset, indicating that most Alares work is structured as delivery orders against indefinite delivery vehicles or BPA calls rather than as service contracts above the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold, or invoicing patterns fall below SCI capture.

Alares operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontractor footprint in the award record; all 268 awards are prime positions. The corporate structure includes a named subsidiary, Medical Design Associates LLC, also SBA-certified as SDVOSB and Veteran-Owned Business, which likely provides specialized engineering or medical facility design capability but is not separately tracked in the award dataset presented. Alares' market position is characterized by deep, long-standing relationships with VA regional medical center networks and federal building systems, sustained through SDVOSB set-asides and a portfolio of stable, multi-year indefinite delivery vehicles that provide predictable task-order flow. The firm competes predominantly full-and-open on VA infrastructure modernization work but pursues that work almost exclusively under SDVOSB set-aside designations, making the SDVOSB certification the principal competitive moat. Customer concentration, vehicle maturity, and three decades of VA delivery experience position Alares as the VA enterprise's preferred SDVOSB contractor for medical center facilities engineering, with limited diversification outside VA and federal building systems work.
