Dakota Electric Construction Co., Inc.

Dakota Electric Construction Co., Inc., a Fargo-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation, delivers electrical construction, repair, and facility maintenance services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designation. The vendor operates as a sole proprietor of its awards (100% prime, 0% sub) across a portfolio of 98 federal prime awards totaling $689 thousand in combined potential value, with work concentrated in electrical contracting (NAICS 238210) and facility infrastructure repair.

The vendor's customer base spans 19 federal agencies, but concentration is narrow and geographically clustered. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 dominates the active footprint, accounting for 7 awards and $353 thousand in combined potential value — 51% of the vendor's total potential-value portfolio. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 8 contributes 8 awards and $140 thousand. These two customers account for 82% of the vendor's combined potential value across 26% of its award count, indicating a portfolio weighted toward a handful of high-value relationships. The Department of the Army, Department of Agriculture, and Social Security Administration round out the top five by either award count or potential value. Work is classified across PSC categories including IT and Telecom Telecommunications Network Management (24 awards), Repair or Alteration of Office Buildings (19 awards), and maintenance and repair of electrical and electronic equipment components (8 awards).

Recent awards with the VA illustrate the vendor's core capability. A $175 thousand purchase order issued June 10, 2026, covers emergency electric equipment repair at North River, North Dakota, with completion due September 8, 2026. A $102,120 definitive contract from October 15, 2025, addressed emergency replacement of building transformers at the same facility, completing March 14, 2026. A $9,400 purchase order from April 1, 2024, covered transformer testing and repair. These awards signal specialized expertise in transformer services and emergency electrical infrastructure restoration within the VA healthcare network.

Activity trajectory shows sporadic volume. Awards per year dropped sharply from five in 2021 to one each in 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026, with a total of 98 awards spanning back to 1987. Combined dollars obligated across all awards ($1.9 million) exceed the combined potential value ($689 thousand) by 276%, indicating prior work has been fully delivered and invoiced. The vendor operates on two named parent vehicles: an indefinite delivery contract (DAHA3297D0011) and Federal Supply Schedule V437C406, with one task order cited per vehicle. Service Contract Inventory data captures minimal presence — four records across FY2024–FY2025, all as named subcontractor, reporting 10.8 FTEs in FY2024 and 2.0 FTEs in FY2025. SCI's $150 thousand reporting threshold means most of Dakota Electric's work — small purchase orders for emergency repairs and facility maintenance — falls below the inventory capture floor and is not reflected in the SCI metrics.
