Boco Contracting & Construction LLC

Boco Contracting & Construction LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Alton, Illinois, operates as a prime contractor delivering grounds maintenance, cemetery preservation, and minor construction services exclusively to the federal government across a narrow customer base dominated by the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration.

Boco is structured as a sole proprietorship and self-certified small disadvantaged business with SDVOSB and veteran-owned designations. The vendor competes across both set-aside (SDVOSB) and unrestricted procurement channels, though the underlying scope — cemetery maintenance — remains consistent. Capability framing is concrete and narrow: grounds maintenance, landscaping, irrigation system management, snow removal, headstone cleaning and realignment, tree removal, and cemetery-related construction at national cemetery locations. The vendor also delivers minor work outside the core cemetery mission — a $131 thousand ash borer tree removal purchase order from Air Mobility Command at Scott Air Force Base in 2022 and a $97 thousand procurement of four house trailers for the USDA Forest Service Intermountain Region in 2022 — but these represent outliers in a portfolio overwhelmingly anchored to VA cemetery work.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration accounts for 59 of 63 total awards and $14.1 million of the $14.5 million combined potential value across all awards (97% by count, 97% by dollars). Within the VA work, Boco maintains three active single-award indefinite-delivery contracts — Springfield National Cemetery ($1.94 million ceiling through November 2030), Mound City National Cemetery ($1.48 million ceiling through June 2027), and Alton National Cemetery ($264 thousand ceiling through September 2030) — collectively representing approximately $3.68 million in ceiling value. These three IDCs have generated the majority of recent delivery orders. The remaining four awards (2 Air Force Air Mobility Command, 1 USDA Forest Service, 1 Air National Guard) total $335 thousand and represent negligible concentration.

Activity has been volatile year over year. Awards per year were 10 in 2022, declined to 5 in 2024, recovered to 9 in 2025, and rose to 11 in 2026. The combined potential value across the 63 awards is $14.5 million, with $6.4 million (44%) obligated to date. Six awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $830 thousand, representing recompete exposure. Boco operates as a prime contractor on 100% of its awards; there are no subcontractor relationships in the award portfolio.

SCI-reported invoicing provides a partial view of Boco's federal service-contract activity above the $150 thousand reporting threshold. The vendor reported $564 thousand in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue across FY2023 and FY2024, with roughly 3.6 FTEs in FY2023 and 3.3 FTEs in FY2024. Government-paid hourly rates on these contracts ranged from $37.16/hr at the 10th percentile to $42.14/hr at the 90th percentile, with a median around $39.65/hr. The vendor performed no subcontractor work across SCI-reportable contracts. SCI data covers only service contracts above the $150 thousand threshold and excludes goods, products, and micro-purchases; Boco's portfolio includes numerous smaller delivery orders, construction projects, and goods procurement that fall outside SCI scope, so the reported FTE count is not representative of total federal workforce activity.

The top NAICS categories across the award portfolio are Cemeteries and Crematories (39 awards) and Landscaping Services (20 awards), with the Primary PSC being Housekeeping—Landscaping/Groundskeeping (57 awards). The vendor's award history extends back to 2016, with recent activity concentrated in 2025–2026 as the Springfield National Cemetery and Alton National Cemetery IDCs have matured and generated recurring quarterly or seasonal delivery orders.

BOCO provides Complete Grounds Maintenance and contracting services to multiple Gov agencies as well as the private sector.
