Burton Construction, Inc.

Burton Construction, Inc. (doing business as Burton Construction Inc.), headquartered in Spokane, Washington, is an SBA-certified women-owned small business and minority-owned, veteran-owned, Native American-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned enterprise that operates as a prime contractor delivering commercial and institutional construction, renovation, repair, and facility maintenance services to federal agencies across the United States. Burton Construction competes predominantly under small-business set-asides (Total Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, and Woman-Owned Small Business designations recur across 60% of recent awards) and maintains a secondary footprint in full-and-open competitive awards.

Burton Construction's customer base is concentrated and anchored by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20, which accounts for 236 awards and $515 million in combined potential value—roughly 42% of the vendor's portfolio by dollars. However, the top two customers by potential value diverge sharply: the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters and Southwestern Region together represent $2.03 billion in combined potential value across only 26 awards, driven by two $999,999,999 Basic Ordering Agreements (FAA Small and Medium Western Service Area BOAs awarded February 8, 2023 and September 25, 2023, respectively) that serve as master vehicles for discrete construction task orders nationwide. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 10 places 110 awards valued at $41.2 million, and the U.S. Coast Guard issues 34 awards for $297.5 million. Across 71 distinct customer agencies, the top five customers by potential value account for approximately 82% of the combined ceiling.

Burton Construction's primary vehicle portfolio centers on large IDIQs and BOAs that enable streamlined ordering across federal property portfolios. The Great American Outdoors Act MATOC (multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, $250 million ceiling, June 30, 2027 expiration) anchors 62 task orders and $76.2 million in combined value for alteration and repair construction across the Department of Interior and Forest Service nationwide. The FAA BOAs ($999,999,999 each) have generated task order work for airfield infrastructure, air traffic control tower systems, and navigational facility installation across the FAA's Western and Southwestern regions. Burton Construction also holds a $10 million Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise IDIQ with the Indian Health Service (awarded June 1, 2026, completion November 30, 2031) and an Air Mobility Command Fairchild Air Force Base Design-build Construction Services IDIQ ($95 million, total small business set-aside, through July 7, 2032). GSA Region 10 and VA VISN 20 work flows through multiple indefinite-delivery contracts, with the largest being VA contract 36C26018D0007 (62 task orders, $76.2 million).

Recent capability examples ground Burton Construction's scope: a $15.2 million firm fixed-price delivery order from Air Combat Command (September 29, 2023, under Mountain Home AFB MACC) for structural repairs and fire suppression system installation and rehabilitation at Aircraft Hangar 201, Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, with completion scheduled November 11, 2027; a $4.44 million delivery order from Air Mobility Command (May 8, 2026, under Fairchild AFB Design-build Construction Services 2025–2032) for taxiway echo and foxtrot shoulder repair at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, set under total small business set-aside with completion December 31, 2028; a $2.66 million delivery order from the Department of Interior GSA Region 6 (May 21, 2026, under Great American Outdoors Act MATOC) for building envelope upgrades and deferred maintenance work in Corvallis, Oregon; a $1.98 million delivery order from the Department of Interior Region 4 (March 31, 2025) for reconstruction of the Sage Hen Recreation Area, including new roadways, campsite infrastructure, and water management, Boise, Idaho; and a $3.92 million U.S. Coast Guard delivery order (June 25, 2024, under Coast Guard RMACC 2019) for exterior and interior repairs at Station Humboldt Bay, California. Across the portfolio, Burton Construction executes airfield infrastructure work (runway lighting, precision approach path indicators, taxiway repairs), hangar and building structural rehabilitation, HVAC system replacements, roofing and envelope restoration, fire suppression installation, facility demolition and abatement, and interior buildout and alterations.

Activity has declined sharply in recent years. Awards per year fell from 66 in 2022 to 23 in 2024 and 13 in 2025, with only 10 awards in 2026 through late September—a trajectory consistent with contract recompete cycles and potential bid losses on high-value vehicles. The VA VISN 20 awards, which comprise the largest single-customer concentration, show declining new task order issuance. Within the next twenty-four months, nine awards carrying combined potential value of $40.2 million approach their ultimate completion date, triggering recompete exposure.

SCI-reported federal service contract activity (the subset of invoiced revenue from contracts above the $150,000 threshold) totaled $40.6 million across FY2022–FY2025, with invoicing of $9.9 million in FY2022, $7.3 million in FY2023, $11.9 million in FY2024, and $11.6 million in FY2025. This SCI data reflects only service contracts and excludes the goods, construction materials, and product components that dominate Burton Construction's portfolio. FTE delivery on SCI records ranged from 5.3 to 7.5 FTEs per fiscal year across 11 to 17 contracts annually. On federal service contracts captured in SCI, government-paid hourly rates show high variance: median around $464.84/hr, with senior-level labor pricing through $2,149.33/hr and lower-cost support at $35.74/hr. Across prime SCI-reportable contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 17% of total contractor hours, with 27 named subs documented across the vendor's service contract footprint—a pattern indicating Burton Construction manages execution through a mix of direct labor and specialized subcontractor augmentation.

Burton Construction operates as a prime contractor exclusively; the portfolio carries no material subcontract sub-award activity. The vendor brings 2–3 named subcontractors onto individual delivery orders for specialized trades such as HVAC (Paige Mechanical Group Inc., a woman-owned small business), roofing (Centimark Corp, Advanced Research LTD for timber restoration), electrical (Quality Electric Inc., First Electric Company, Thompson Electrical Constructors Inc.), fire suppression systems (API Group Life Safety USA LLC, Delta Fire Systems), abatement and selective demolition (Belfor USA Group Inc.), and hazardous materials remediation (Safetech Inc.). This subcontracting pattern reflects the capital-intensive, multi-trade nature of federal construction work rather than a strategic reliance on subs for core delivery.
