Bridger National Construction LLC

Bridger National Construction LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, delivers design-build and construction services to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor exclusively under SDVOSB set-asides. The company operates 100% prime across its recent federal award footprint with no subcontractor activity and competes exclusively within SDVOSB set-aside vehicles — all sixteen tracked awards carry SDVOSB set-aside designations.

Bridger's customer concentration is extreme and single-agency. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (VISN 19) dominates the entire portfolio: ten awards worth $531.4 million combined potential value represent 93% of all dollars. The VA Technology Acquisition Center contributes two awards totaling $23.4 million for facility modernization work, VISN 12 places three awards valued at $11.4 million for regional renovations and infrastructure repair, and VISN 15 adds one order for $5.3 million. This concentration reflects Bridger's position as a core vehicle holder under the VISN 19 Design Build MATOC 2024-2029, a $500 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract exclusively reserved for SDVOSB contractors and running through May 31, 2027. Three task orders under this MATOC carry $19 million combined potential value, with additional delivery orders flowing directly from VISN 19 outside the MATOC.

Representative work spans VA facility modernization across multiple states. A $21.2 million SDVOSB definitive contract awarded June 3, 2025, covers emergency department expansion at the Cheyenne VA Medical Center in Wyoming with June 2027 completion. An $11.8 million delivery order issued May 20, 2026, covers replacement of air handling units at the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center, with completion by May 15, 2027. A $6.51 million contract to VISN 12 for Lab and Pathology renovation at the Illiana VA Medical Center in Danville, Illinois, awarded November 21, 2022, with ultimate completion July 31, 2026, generated $3.85 million in invoiced federal revenue through FY2024. Additional work includes a $7.19 million delivery order for remediation of the Clermont North Campus area in Aurora, Colorado (completion April 25, 2028), a $4.48 million wayfinding signage project at Salt Lake City's George E. Wahlen VA Medical Center (June 4, 2026), and a $5.325 million CMOP renovation at Hines VA Medical Center in Illinois (September 15, 2025). Capability scope encompasses selective demolition, general construction, fire alarm system upgrades, electrical and mechanical work, data center infrastructure, accessibility modifications, and exterior restoration under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with eight tracked awards carrying PSC Z1DA (Repair or Alteration of Hospitals and Infirmaries).

Activity grew from one award in 2022 to a peak of six in 2024; the pace moderated to two awards in each of 2025 and 2026 (through May). Five awards valued at $49 million face completion within the next twenty-four months and constitute recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoicing rose from $6 million across 3.2 FTEs in FY2023 to $10.9 million across 5.2 FTEs in FY2024, reflecting project phasing on longer-cycle construction contracts. Government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $416.69/hr to a median of $1,011.37/hr and a 90th percentile of $1,849.29/hr, consistent with skilled construction labor on complex VA facility work. Bridger self-performed all reported hours with zero subcontractor engagement across its SCI-reportable prime contracts through FY2024.
