Fluharty Erie, LLC

Fluharty Erie, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Cleveland, Ohio, operates as a prime contractor delivering construction and facility infrastructure services to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Federal Aviation Administration, competing predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides and small business vehicles. The company is structured as a limited liability partnership and classified under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with secondary capability in electrical contracting and infrastructure maintenance.

Fluharty Erie's customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 anchors 7 awards worth $255.8 million in combined potential value—92% of the total portfolio. The VA's VISN 10 contributes 3 awards totaling $11.1 million, and the Federal Aviation Administration's regional and national offices collectively hold 12 awards worth $9.2 million. This concentration reflects deep incumbent relationships at two primary locations: the Oberlin Air Route Traffic Control Center in Oberlin, Ohio, and VA medical centers in the Pittsburgh, Butler, and Erie corridor. Fluharty Erie holds two named parent vehicles: a $4.4 million single-award Basic Ordering Agreement with the FAA Southwestern Region for construction services at Oberlin (9 delivery orders executed to date, with $4.3 million in combined potential value), and the Pittsburgh-Butler-Erie Construction MATOC, a $250 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract with VISN 4 awarded in July 2025 under total small business set-aside with tiered SDVOSB preference (6 delivery orders totaling $5.8 million in combined potential value issued as of the source date).

Representative work includes a $5.53 million firm fixed-price definitive contract from VISN 10 for electrical generation and site distribution capacity upgrades at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center (ultimate completion June 2026, with $2.3 million invoiced in FY2024); a $4.86 million substation replacement contract at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center (awarded December 2021, completion scheduled March 2025); a $1.825 million roof replacement at the Oberlin ARTCC (awarded August 2023, completed September 2024); a $1.378 million Pittsburgh UD Gates and Barriers project under the VISN 4 MATOC (awarded January 2026, completion August 2027); and a $3.84 million EEPG III scope delivery order from VISN 4 (awarded November 2025, completion November 2026). More recent awards cluster around facility lifecycle replacements: a $1.161 million SDVOSB sole-source delivery order from the VA for air handling unit replacement in the Automation Wing at Oberlin (issued July 28, 2026, completion October 2026), and a $248 thousand FAA facility infrastructure order for the same ARTCC (issued July 17, 2026, completion June 2027).

Activity has accelerated in the past two years: 2 awards in 2023 and 2024, 4 in 2025, and 9 already in 2026. Five awards with combined potential value of $5.7 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing recompete opportunity on VISN 4 and FAA delivery orders. The combined potential value across all 22 prime awards stands at $276.1 million, with only $21.7 million obligated as of the source date—a typical profile for indefinite delivery vehicles where ceilings are authorized but task orders are issued incrementally.

SCI-reported invoicing of $11.1 million across FY2023–FY2025 reflects the subset of Fluharty Erie's work subject to service contract reporting above the $150,000 threshold and excludes goods, construction products, and non-federal revenue. The SCI dataset shows roughly 4 FTEs delivered in FY2023, 10.5 FTEs in FY2024, and 0.3 FTEs in FY2025 on prime contracts, with median government-paid rates around $490/hr and a spectrum spanning $225/hr at the 10th percentile to $1,067/hr at the 90th percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 43% of total contractor hours, with 11 named subcontractors engaged over the reporting period—a profile consistent with general contractor delivery on complex facility projects requiring specialized trades. Fluharty Erie operates exclusively as a prime; the source contains no subcontract awards to other primes.
