Borlie Mechanical Contracting LLC

Borlie Mechanical Contracting LLC, doing business as T A Gorman, is a West Virginia-based sole proprietorship that delivers mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and facility infrastructure work to federal agencies as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) on small-business set-asides, with focused strength in emergency repairs and facility modifications at veterans medical centers and agricultural research installations.

The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily at the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 (VISN 5), which accounts for 27 awards and $463 thousand in combined potential value — 67% of the prime contract portfolio by award count. The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service, primarily its Kearneysville, West Virginia National Center for Cool and Cold-Water Aquaculture facility, represents the second-largest customer by dollars at $731 thousand across three awards, followed by the Department of the Army Reserve Command, the Department of the Interior US Geological Survey, and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service. Recent representative work includes a $196,690 Total Small Business set-aside from USDA ARS (awarded April 1, 2026) for safety shower system modifications and installations at the Kearneysville aquaculture center, a $349,476 Total Small Business set-aside from the same customer (September 28, 2023) for pneumatic control system replacement, a $637,523 Total Small Business set-aside from the Army Reserve Command (February 18, 2022) for underground oil storage tank replacement at Romney, West Virginia, and recurring small-dollar repairs through VISN 5 including emergency pressure valve and steam pipe fixes.

The vendor operates on the VISN 5 Multiple Award Task Order Contract Construction vehicle (2022–2028), which accounts for two task orders in the source data. Award activity has been episodic — one award in 2022, two in 2023, one in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026 (the April 2026 safety shower project) — with combined potential value across all recent awards at $2.2 million and combined obligated dollars at $2.9 million. One award valued at $197 thousand is scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a modest recompete exposure window. The vendor subcontracts to American Vet Industries, LLC on mechanical and plumbing work for VA facility renovation and buildout projects (two sub awards in September 2025). Across SCI-reportable activity from FY2022 through FY2024, the vendor delivered roughly 1.3 to 2.1 FTEs to federal service contracts as a named subcontractor; this represents a partial slice of federal delivery and excludes goods, micro-purchases, and the vendor's own prime service-contract work under the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold. The vendor's work concentrates in facility maintenance and repair categories (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors represents 21 awards) and serves agencies clustered in the Mid-Atlantic region, with headquarters in Inwood, West Virginia and recurring performance at federal sites in West Virginia and Maryland.
