Artisan Construction Enterprises Inc.

Artisan Construction Enterprises Inc. General Contractor Division, a woman-owned small business based in Jamestown, Indiana, operates as a prime contractor delivering repair, alteration, and construction services to federal facilities across the Midwest—primarily courthouses, federal office buildings, and government centers in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The vendor competes almost exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides, particularly through the GSA R5 Regional Construction IDIQ, and has generated $172.4 million in combined potential value across 805 prime awards since 1993.

Artisan's capability portfolio centers on interior and exterior building renovation, HVAC system replacement and maintenance, electrical installations, flooring and carpet replacement, fire suppression systems, plumbing, audio-visual infrastructure upgrades, lead paint remediation, and specialized courthouse facility improvements. Representative work includes a $1.541 million Suite 286 Judges Chambers renovation at the Birch Bayh Federal Building in Indianapolis (Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, September 2025), a $785.6 thousand mailroom renovation at the Major General Emmett J. Bean Federal Center (Defense Finance and Accounting Service, February 2026), and a $2.714 million P-level foundation repairs project at the John C. Kluczynski Federal Building in Chicago (General Services Administration, August 2024).

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward GSA Region 5. The top five funding agencies account for roughly 88% of combined potential value, with General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 5 anchoring the portfolio at 214 awards valued at $127.1 million combined. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts represents the second-largest customer by dollar value (100 awards, $10.8 million), followed by Defense Finance and Accounting Service (46 awards, $6 million), General Services Administration Public Buildings Service (187 awards, $5.8 million), and the Department of the Army (3 awards, $1.4 million). A secondary concentration exists in GSA's other regional offices and central offices, which collectively account for a significant share of the vendor's workload but at lower-per-award dollar values.

Artisan holds a position on the GSA R5 Regional Construction IDIQ, a $50 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded September 27, 2024, under Total Small Business set-aside. Since award, the vendor has received 26 delivery orders totaling approximately $5.3 million through June 2026. Task orders on this vehicle range from $2,000 to $10 million annually and authorize work across the six-state Region 5 footprint. The vendor also places work under four other named parent vehicles—Indefinite Delivery Contracts 47PF0018D0061 (115 task orders, $25.6 million combined potential value), GS05P17SCD0013 (99 task orders, $7.7 million), GS05P14SCD0026 (96 task orders, $6.3 million), and GS05P04GAD0087 (92 task orders, $5 million)—which are older GSA R5 repair and alteration vehicles and single-award or multiple-award IDIQs issued to GSA.

Activity has remained relatively stable over the past five years, averaging roughly 24 awards annually (2022–2026), with 23 awards in 2026 and 18 in 2025. Nineteen awards with combined potential value of $15.4 million reach ultimate completion within the next 24 months and face recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoicing across prime service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $24.7 million from FY2022 through FY2025, with $11.2 million invoiced in FY2025 against roughly 4.3 FTEs delivered to the federal government. Government-paid median rates on SCI-reportable contracts ran around $932/hr, with a range from approximately $220/hr at the tenth percentile to $5,937/hr at the ninety-sixth percentile, reflecting a mix of skilled tradespeople, supervisors, and project management labor. Artisan self-performs all reported labor on federal contracts with no subcontractor engagement on SCI-reportable work.

Artisan competes in the Total Small Business set-aside category across its prime footprint, with 100 percent of recorded awards designated as Total Small Business set-aside or issued under the small-business-set-aside GSA R5 IDIQ. The vendor does not hold a position as a subcontractor in the source data. NAICS concentration is 505 of 805 awards under 236221 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with remaining awards scattered across specialty trades including structural steel, painting and wall covering, and finish carpentry. PSC coding centers on repair or alteration of office buildings (408 awards) and maintenance of office buildings (6 awards).
