Belt Built Contracting, LLC

Belt Built Contracting, LLC, a Black American-owned, minority-owned small disadvantaged business, operates as a prime contractor delivering construction, renovation, repair, and facilities maintenance services to federal agencies, competing predominantly under 8(a) set-asides and competitive procurements. Headquartered in Crofton, Maryland, and structured as a for-profit limited liability partnership, Belt Built holds four major indefinite delivery contracts worth approximately $1.45 billion combined and operates exclusively as a prime — 441 recent awards show 100 percent prime delivery, with no subcontractor footprint.

Belt Built's capability portfolio centers on concrete building infrastructure work: HVAC system design, replacement, and renovation; roof repairs and replacements; electrical system upgrades and panel replacements; elevator installation and repair; plumbing and water system work; interior finishing including carpet, painting, and ceilings; fire suppression and protection system installation; water intrusion remediation; and specialized infrastructure improvements including parking lot resurfacing, stormwater remediation, and loading dock renovation. Representative work includes a $7.04 million competitive 8(a) delivery order from Naval Air Warfare Center for reconstruction and embankment work at Patuxent River, Maryland (Sept 2024); a $8.58 million competitive 8(a) order from Naval Supply Systems Command for second-floor HVAC renovation at Naval Support Activity Mechanicsburg under the Philadelphia and Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania Regions MACC (Sept 2023); a $2.82 million competitive 8(a) delivery order from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center for Building 5 Firearms Range recondition at Cheltenham, Maryland (Sept 2025); and a $3.89 million order from the National Institute of Standards and Technology for steam and condensate return service restoration at Gaithersburg (Aug 2025).

Customer concentration sits heavily with federal facility owners and military base support. The top five agencies by award count account for 60 percent of recent awards: Smithsonian Institution (126 awards, $31.7 million), Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division (53 awards, $105 million), Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (32 awards, $23.2 million), Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region (31 awards, $36.2 million), and Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Baltimore (23 awards, $36.1 million). By potential value, the distribution differs sharply — Naval Facilities Engineering Command anchors 88 percent of combined potential value across the top five customers with a single $750 million contract, followed by FBI Headquarters Division ($105 million across 53 awards), NIST ($81.6 million across 8 awards), Army IMCOM Northeast ($36.2 million), and Army Corps Baltimore ($36.1 million). This reflects Belt Built's positioning as an infrastructure prime on Navy facilities across the Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia corridor.

Belt Built's vehicle position is dominated by four prime indefinite delivery contracts: a $750 million competitive 8(a) single-award contract with Naval Facilities Engineering Command running through September 2030 (27 delivery orders, $65.6 million to date); a $17.5 million competitive 8(a) single-award Job Order Contract with Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region at Carlisle Barracks through September 2026 (28 delivery orders, $16.9 million to date); a $15 million competitive 8(a) single-award IDIQ with the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center at Cheltenham through September 2026 (multiple delivery orders spanning firearms range recondition, electrical systems, roof work, and asphalt repair); and a $70 million total-small-business multiple-award IDIQ with the National Institute of Standards and Technology for design-build and laboratory renovation services through September 2026 (five delivery orders, $6.06 million to date). Additional vehicles include a $5 million multiple-award BPA with the Smithsonian Institution for painting services (through May 2030) and a $1 ceiling single-award total-small-business IDIQ with the Smithsonian for construction and maintenance services (through March 2034). Belt Built also executes orders under the Philadelphia and Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania Regions MACC and various Army and FBI job order contracts.

Activity has contracted sharply in recent years after peaks in 2022 and 2023. Awards per year declined from 33 (2022) and 62 (2023) to 35 (2024), 17 (2025), and 3 (2026 to date). Eighteen awards (combined potential value $49 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across Belt Built's core Navy, Army, and Smithsonian vehicles. The $750 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command contract runs through 2030 but prior multi-year recompetes on that vehicle are likely in motion; similarly, the $17.5 million Army JOC at Carlisle and $15 million FLETC IDIQ both expire September 2026 and face imminent recompete risk.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $19.6 million across three fiscal years (FY2022–FY2024), with FY2022 representing the peak at $14.4 million, declining to $738 thousand in FY2023 before recovering to $4.4 million in FY2024. SCI covers federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes goods, products, and non-federal revenue; the $19.6 million SCI footprint represents a strict subset of Belt Built's federal services activity and a smaller portion of total enterprise revenue. The vendor reports zero FTEs across all fiscal years in the SCI dataset, indicating that Belt Built's delivery model on SCI-reportable contracts relies on hourly labor reported through cost structures without dedicated full-time staffing allocations within that reporting framework. Across SCI prime contracts, the vendor engages zero percent subcontractor hours, meaning Belt Built delivers labor directly rather than through staffing subcontractors.

Belt Built competes predominantly under 8(a) and total small business set-asides, with a secondary stream of competitive full-and-open awards. The vendor's portfolio reflects a sustained focus on Navy and Army facilities in the Mid-Atlantic region, particularly at military installations and federal office buildings where it has established long-standing IDIQ relationships. The company maintains no documented subcontractor network — all 441 recent awards list Belt Built as prime with no named subs — positioning it as a direct delivery contractor rather than a subcontracting vehicle for larger primes or a provider of specialized labor to teaming arrangements.
