DSL Builders LLC

DSL Builders LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and Veteran-Owned Small Business based in Salem, Oregon, operates exclusively as a prime contractor in federal construction and infrastructure work, with 86 awards totaling $436.2 million in combined potential value, 100% positioned as prime (zero subcontractor footprint). The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business structured as a limited liability company that competes across both set-aside (Total Small Business) and full-and-open federal construction vehicles.

DSL Builders LLC delivers commercial and institutional building construction, heavy infrastructure work, facility renovation, and deferred maintenance services across federal land management agencies. Representative recent work includes a $7.11 million delivery order from the U.S. Forest Service, Region 6, for Multnomah Falls Lodge rehabilitation in Oregon (December 2025, completion December 2027), a $4.73 million order from Forest Service Region 1 for Kootenai National Forest Supervisor's Office renovations in Montana (October 2024, completion November 2026), a $9.99 million order for Sisters Ranger District administration building design and construction on the Deschutes National Forest in Oregon (October 2023, completion March 2026), and a $3.7 million order for trail bridge replacements in Custer Gallatin National Forest, Montana (February 2024, completion March 2026). Smaller-scope work includes $502,748 for selective palisade wall replacement and fumigation at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site (National Park Service, September 2025), $269,690 for construction work in Reedsport, Oregon (Fish and Wildlife Service, July 2026), and $228,643 for hatchery infrastructure services at Wallowa National Fish Hatchery in Oregon (July 2023).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Interior and Forest Service regional offices in the Pacific Northwest and Northern regions. The top five customer agencies account for 76% of awards by count. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) leads by award volume with 33 awards totaling $33.5 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington Region with 17 awards and $11 million combined potential value. However, by potential dollar value, the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters dominates the portfolio with 2 awards carrying $250.1 million combined potential value—a sharp divergence driven by two large indefinite delivery contracts (IDVs) that dwarf task-order activity. Forest Service Region 1 contributes 5 awards worth $58.6 million in combined potential value; Fish and Wildlife Service field operations contribute 7 task-order awards totaling $60.3 million; National Park Service Intermountain Region contributes 3 awards worth $950 thousand. Nineteen distinct federal agencies appear in the award portfolio, but activity is geographically concentrated in Oregon, Washington, and Montana.

DSL Builders LLC holds three indefinite delivery contracts: a $250 million Great American Outdoors Act Multiple Award Task Order Contract with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, awarded January 1, 2022, extending through June 30, 2027 (Total Small Business set-aside, covering construction, maintenance, repair, and alteration services across the continental United States and Hawaii for Interior and Forest Service); a $50 million Region 1 Road and Bridge Construction Multiple Award MATOC with the U.S. Forest Service, Region 1 (Northern Region), awarded December 16, 2024, extending through December 15, 2029 (Total Small Business set-aside, covering road, bridge, and facility construction); and a $45 million Alternate Repair MATOC with Fish and Wildlife Service. The Great American Outdoors Act MATOC is the primary vehicle, with 18 task orders generating $30.2 million in combined potential value from regional Forest Service and Interior offices. A regional BPA with Forest Service and multiple smaller IDCs round out the vehicle footprint. Task-order velocity has remained steady at 6–7 awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with one award visible in 2026. Four awards totaling $12.3 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure.

On Service Contract Inventory (SCI) records, DSL Builders LLC reported $37.6 million in invoiced federal service-contract revenue across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2025 data not yet available). The vendor reported 23.4 FTEs in FY2022, declining to 16.1 FTEs in FY2023 and 14.8 FTEs in FY2024, with a substantial FY2022-to-FY2024 contraction reflecting completion of large contracts. On the SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor performed 0% of hours through subcontractors, indicating a fully vertically integrated delivery model with no subcontractor reliance. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts ranged from a 10th-percentile low of $207.55/hr to a 90th-percentile high of $448.36/hr, with a median rate of $311.46/hr, positioning the company in the lower-to-mid range for federal construction labor pricing.

Work is performed at geographically dispersed federal facilities nationwide (Reedsport, Bridal Veil, and Idleyld Park, Oregon; Libby and Bozeman, Montana; Vancouver, Washington; Glacier National Park, Montana; and smaller scattered locations), with administrative oversight at the Salem, Oregon headquarters. The NAICS profile centers on commercial and institutional building construction (41 awards), specialty trade contracting (11 awards), site preparation (8 awards), and highway/street/bridge construction (7 awards), with corresponding PSC concentration in office building construction and alteration, highway and bridge construction, and administrative facility maintenance. Activity has remained relatively flat—neither growing nor declining significantly—at six to seven awards per year, with the vendor's competitive posture anchored to Total Small Business set-asides on the Great American Outdoors Act MATOC and Forest Service regional vehicles, and occasional full-and-open awards on smaller standalone contracts.
