Blue Cord Design And Construction, LLC

Blue Cord Design and Construction, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Orlando, Florida, delivers healthcare facility construction, renovation, repair, and design-build services to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense as a prime contractor exclusively (100% of recent awards), competing predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides across commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS 236220).

Blue Cord's customer concentration is heavily weighted to VA regional networks. The top five customers account for 94% of recent awards and 88% of combined potential value. Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 dominates the footprint — 235 awards (84% of the prime portfolio) carrying $646.3 million in combined potential value — reflecting Blue Cord's single-award IDIQ Job Order Contract (JOC) with VISN 8 running through December 2027, which serves as the primary vehicle for facility support solutions across VA healthcare facilities in Florida. VISN 7 represents a secondary concentration with eight awards valued at $578.9 million, anchored by a $14.9 million operating-room renovation delivery order at the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana. The Department of the Army Medical Command, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and VISN 17 each anchor nine-figure potential values ($279.5 million, $249 million, and $100 million respectively), though with limited recent transaction counts, indicating large base awards with limited task order activity to date. Notable recent work includes a $33.5 million SDVOSB-set-aside definitive contract with VISN 16 for comprehensive renovation of the Sterile Processing Service facility at the Veterans' Health Care System of the Ozarks in Fayetteville, Arkansas (awarded June 30, 2026); a $19.85 million SDVOSB-set-aside contract with the VA Technology Acquisition Center for site preparation, demolition, and construction of radiology and oncology expansion at the Orlando VA Medical Center (July 13, 2026); and an $18.9 million SDVOSB-set-aside contract with the VA Technology Acquisition Center for cardiovascular center construction at Orlando VA Medical Center (awarded September 3, 2025).

Blue Cord holds positions on five major parent vehicles. The Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C24818D0086 carries 30 task orders valued at $77.6 million combined potential value. Contract VA248C1866 supports 24 task orders worth $38 million. A Naval Facilities Engineering Command vehicle (NAVFAC SE Jacksonville-Orlando Construction 2016-2021) drove 11 task orders valued at $13.9 million. The single-award VISN 8 JOC, though recorded as a ceiling value of one dollar in the source IDV detail, anchors the bulk of the vendor's operational volume and represents the primary mechanism for delivery-order placement across Florida VA medical centers. Beyond VISN 8, Blue Cord's VISN 7 base award serves as the vehicle for a $14.9 million operating-room renovation task order, suggesting multi-VISN reachability across the VA network.

Award activity has remained steady across the past five years — nine awards in 2022 to twelve in 2024, with seven awards recorded year-to-date in 2026 — though the trajectory masks significant dollar concentration in recent large awards. Combined potential value across the portfolio sits at $2.1 billion, with $474.6 million obligated to date (23% of combined potential value). Twelve awards carrying combined potential value of $123.6 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a meaningful recompete cliff driven primarily by VISN 8 task orders and the VISN 7 operating-room renovation delivery order completion window.

Service Contract Inventory data covering FY2022 through FY2025 shows SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $154.5 million across 107 prime service contracts above the $150,000 threshold. Invoicing peaked at $46.7 million in FY2023 (51.7 FTEs) and declined to $31 million in FY2025 (47.5 FTEs), reflecting the lag between award date and revenue recognition typical of large fixed-price construction contracts. Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts derived from invoiced dollars and contractor hours ranged from a 10th percentile of $114.44/hr to a median of $406.92/hr to a 90th percentile of $1,508.48/hr, consistent with a blended prime and subcontractor labor base spanning both field-labor and professional-services work. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for an average of 32% of total contractor hours, with 251 named subcontractors supporting the prime delivery across the dataset. The sub-engagement pattern reflects Blue Cord's reliance on trade specialists — plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and structural contractors — typical of general construction primes managing complex healthcare facility renovation and new-construction projects. Reported FTE trajectory shows modest variation (ranging from 21.0 to 25.5 FTEs annually in SCI-reportable work), suggesting a relatively stable staffing posture over the period despite substantial dollar volatility driven by the timing of large construction project invoicing cycles.

Blue Cord competes exclusively as a prime under SDVOSB set-asides, with recent awards split between Sole Source (for single-award IDIQs and emergency work) and Competitive SDVOSB procurements across VA regional networks. The vendor holds no recorded subcontractor positions in the source data, operates no GWACs or government-wide vehicles in its own name, and maintains a footprint concentrated within the VA healthcare system and subordinate DoD medical commands. The SDVOSB designation and the single-award VISN 8 JOC structure position Blue Cord as a preferred contractor for VA facility modernization, with recurring task orders and sole-source emergency-response awards reflecting incumbent advantage and specialized healthcare construction expertise.
