Benchmark Construction Services Inc.

Benchmark Construction Services Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Toms River, New Jersey, delivers general construction, design-build, renovation, and demolition services to federal facilities as a prime contractor across multiple GSA Public Buildings Service regions and civilian agencies. Benchmark competes predominantly under woman-owned small business (WOSB) set-asides on its recent awards; the company is a Subchapter S corporation and operates 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontracted work in its current federal footprint.

Benchmark's customer concentration is extreme and deliberate: the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 2 anchors 77 of 144 awards (53% of all awards) and accounts for $681.5 million of the combined $752.1 million potential value across all recent awards—a 91% share of the vendor's total federal pipeline. This concentration reflects Benchmark's core position on the PBS R2 General Construction and Design-Build Construction Services IDIQ, a GSA vehicle supporting federal facility modernization and maintenance across the northeastern United States. Three other GSA vehicles (two additional Indefinite Delivery Contracts and PBS R2 directly) place 67 of Benchmark's 144 awards. Secondary customers—the Social Security Administration (13 awards, $23.7 million), the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (5 awards), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (5 awards, $5.1 million), and the US Marshals Service (1 award, $7.7 million)—are all task-order customers flowing through the PBS R2 IDIQ structure rather than direct primary customers.

Benchmark's capability portfolio spans hardening and security upgrades (ballistic-rated guard stations, security barrier replacement, entrance hardening at federal courthouses), mechanical systems replacement (emergency generators, standpipe repair, sprinkler upgrades), building renovation and restoration (floor renovation, cabinet remodeling, closet alterations), and demolition and abatement services. Representative recent awards include a $4.969 million design-build demolition and abatement delivery order for the Javits Federal Building's 31st floor (GSA, August 2026, woman-owned small business set-aside, completion June 2027); a $7.7 million general construction delivery order for security barrier replacement at 225 Cadman Plaza, Brooklyn, under the US Marshals Service (May 2025, woman-owned small business set-aside, completion November 2026); and a $10.4 million Department of Education construction delivery order (March 2023, Total Small Business set-aside, completion September 2026). Work is located primarily in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, reflecting the regional scope of the PBS R2 vehicle.

Primary NAICS coding is 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for 139 of 144 awards; top PSC categories are Repair or Alteration of Office Buildings (71 awards) and Maintenance of Office Buildings (9 awards). Activity has declined significantly in recent years—five awards in 2022, two in 2023, four in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026—reflecting a consolidation of task orders under fewer, larger-ceiling delivery orders rather than award frequency growth. Seven awards (combined potential value $36 million) have ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue for federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $995 thousand in FY2022 only, with zero reported dollars in FY2023–FY2025; the FY2022 figure reflects 0.3 contract-level FTEs at a median government-paid rate of $2,146.77 per hour. SCI is a partial view covering only service contracts above the reporting threshold and excludes goods, demolition work, and design-build construction delivery, which constitute the bulk of Benchmark's federal work and revenue. The SCI gap reflects the nature of Benchmark's prime footprint—predominantly fixed-price design-build and construction delivery orders rather than labor-hour or T&M service contracts.
