Belt Built Contracting, LLC

Belt Built Contracting, LLC, a Black American-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Crofton, Maryland, operates as a direct-delivery prime contractor providing construction, renovation, repair, and facilities maintenance services across federal facilities in the Mid-Atlantic region and nationwide, competing predominantly under 8(a) and total small business set-asides with no subcontractor footprint.

The company's capability portfolio centers on concrete building infrastructure work: HVAC system design, replacement, and renovation; roof repairs and replacements; electrical system upgrades and replacements; elevator installation and repair; plumbing and water system work; interior finishing including carpet and painting; fire suppression and fire protection system installation; parking lot resurfacing, asphalt repair, and stormwater remediation; and specialized projects including water intrusion remediation, building refurbishment with furniture and fixture modifications, and design-build laboratory renovations. Representative prime awards include a $750 million competitive 8(a) single-award IDIQ with Naval Facilities Engineering Command (awarded September 2022, running through September 2030) for construction and renovation at Naval and Marine Corps facilities across Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia; a $70 million total small business multiple-award IDIQ with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (awarded September 2023, extended through September 2026) for design-build and laboratory renovation services at NIST's Gaithersburg and Bethesda campuses; a $200 million total small business multiple-award contract with Communications Electronics Command (awarded September 2026) for maintenance, repair, and construction at Tobyhanna Army Depot; and a $15 million competitive 8(a) single-award IDIQ with the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (running through September 2026) supporting firearms range recondition, electrical systems, roof work, and asphalt repair at Cheltenham, Maryland.

Customer concentration is split between agencies measured by award count and by dollar value. By count, the top five funding agencies represent 60% of 457 recent awards: the Smithsonian Institution (128 awards, $32.4 million), the FBI Headquarters Division (53 awards, $105 million), the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (40 awards, $29.4 million), the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region (31 awards, $53.7 million), and the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Baltimore (23 awards, $36.1 million). By potential value, the ranking shifts dramatically: Naval Facilities Engineering Command dominates with 16 awards worth $1.02 billion combined potential value—reflecting the outsized value of the single $750 million IDIQ—followed by the FBI (53 awards, $105 million), NIST (8 awards, $81.6 million), Army IMCOM Northeast (31 awards, $53.7 million), and Army Corps Baltimore (23 awards, $36.1 million). Together, these five customers represent 77% of combined potential value across the portfolio. The gap between count and dollars signals that Belt Built carries large-value indefinite delivery vehicles—particularly the NAVFAC mega-contract and the NIST and CECOM IDIQs—alongside numerous smaller delivery orders at civilian agencies.

Belt Built holds six significant parent vehicles. The $750 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command competitive 8(a) IDIQ has generated 27 delivery orders totaling approximately $65.6 million through September 2025, with task order values ranging from $10,000 minimum guarantee through $5 million, supporting infrastructure modernization at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Naval Research Laboratory, Marine Corps Base Quantico, Naval Base Indian Head, and Naval Facilities Engineering Command installations in Washington D.C. The $70 million NIST total small business IDIQ (running through September 2026) has issued five documented delivery orders worth approximately $6.06 million combined. The Smithsonian Institution's F18CC10053 IDIQ vehicle (67 task orders, $14.1 million combined potential value) and a separate $5 million painting services BPA support facilities maintenance across Smithsonian locations nationwide. The Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region's $17.5 million competitive 8(a) single-award Job Order Contract at Carlisle Barracks has been extensively utilized for renovation and maintenance work. The newly awarded $200 million CECOM IDIQ at Tobyhanna Army Depot and the FBI's Eastern PA General Construction Services contract (48 task orders, $1.8 million) complete the primary vehicle portfolio.

Activity trajectories show volatility. Awards per year declined from 62 in 2023 to 35 in 2024, then dropped to 17 in 2025 and rebounded slightly to 19 through September 2026. The combined potential value of awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months is $36.6 million (23 awards), representing moderate recompete exposure concentrated in smaller delivery orders rather than the large IDIQs.

SCI-reported invoicing of $22.3 million across FY2022–FY2025 reflects only federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes goods, products, and the majority of Belt Built's federal award activity—primarily construction and repair work captured in other reporting streams. The SCI dataset shows $14.4 million invoiced in FY2022, declining to $738 thousand in FY2023 and $4.4 million in FY2024, then recovering to $2.7 million in FY2025 across 2.2 FTEs. This sparse SCI presence is consistent with a company focused on construction and facilities maintenance rather than labor-intensive professional services; the vendor self-performs all work with zero average subcontractor hours share across its SCI-reportable prime contracts.

Belt Built operates exclusively as a prime contractor. The 457-award portfolio contains no documented sub-awards, and across SCI-reportable contracts the vendor engages no named subcontractors. The company delivers all labor directly, positioning it as a vertically integrated facilities and construction services provider rather than a subcontractor feeder to larger defense or federal services primes.
