Bales Construction Company, Inc.

Bales Construction Company, Inc., a small business based in Waynesville, Missouri, delivers construction, renovation, and facility maintenance services to the Department of the Army as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) and competes across a mix of set-aside and unrestricted delivery orders issued under Army indefinite delivery contracts.

Bales Construction's customer footprint is heavily concentrated with the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region, which accounts for 103 awards (98% of recent activity) with combined potential value of $83.3 million. Two secondary Army customers—Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Leonard Wood (7 awards, $2.3 million) and Defense Finance and Accounting Service (2 awards, $1.1 million)—round out the customer set. All work is performed at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and the Lake Ozarks Recreation Area.

Bales Construction holds a $42 million Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) awarded April 15, 2024, running through April 14, 2029, designated as a total small business set-aside for up to five awardees under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). The company receives the bulk of its work through delivery orders against this vehicle. Concrete examples include a $5.11 million renovation of Building 1707 (awarded September 30, 2024), a $4.92 million facility services delivery order with administrative migration to the Army Contract Writing System (August 13, 2025), a $4.32 million follow-on task order for construction and facility work (August 5, 2025), a $570,258 HVAC replacement in Building 12700 (May 5, 2025), and a $496,641 repair of the lobby and locker room in Building 1714 (September 22, 2025). Smaller orders span fire alarm installation, heater installation, restroom renovation, hallway door replacement, bird nesting prevention, and structural damage repair, with individual ceiling values ranging from $21,770 to over $5 million.

The company's award portfolio reflects a diverse mix of facility types and scopes. Top NAICS categories span Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction (47 awards), Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (38 awards), and All Other Specialty Trade Contractors (22 awards). Top PSC codes include Repair or Alteration of Sewage and Waste Facilities (44 awards), Maintenance-Repair-Alteration of Recreational Non-Building Structures (16 awards), and Construction of Other Industrial Buildings (15 awards).

Activity has grown sharply in recent years—one award in 2019, one in 2020, ten in 2024, nine in 2025, and two through May 2026. Combined potential value stands at $86.8 million with $28.1 million obligated (32% realization rate). Seven awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $19.6 million and face recompete exposure in that window.
