Fluharty Erie, LLC

Fluharty Erie, LLC, a Cleveland-based service-disabled veteran-owned small business, performs construction and facility infrastructure maintenance for the federal government as a prime contractor across the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Federal Aviation Administration, competing predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides and total small business designations.

Fluharty Erie operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) with a construction-focused capability portfolio grounded in commercial and institutional building work (17 of 19 awards classified under NAICS 236220) and facility system replacements at VA medical centers and FAA air traffic control centers. Representative work includes a $5.52 million firm fixed-price contract with Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 to increase backup electrical generation and site distribution capacity at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center (awarded October 2022), a $4.86 million SDVOSB contract with VISN 10 to replace Substations A and B at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center (awarded December 2021), and a $3.84 million delivery order under the Pittsburgh-Butler-Erie Construction MATOC with VISN 4 for EEPG III scope items in Cleveland (awarded November 2025). On the FAA side, Fluharty Erie holds a $3.4 million single-award Basic Ordering Agreement with the Southwestern Region for construction services at the Oberlin Air Route Traffic Control Center through November 2027, under which it has executed six delivery orders totaling $2.8 million for roof replacements, steam boiler replacement, sanitary sewer work, and power service infrastructure—including a $1.825 million roof replacement and a $316,000 sanitary sewer replacement.

Customer concentration is dominated by the VA. Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 accounts for 7 awards with $255.8 million combined potential value (93% of all dollars), driven by Fluharty Erie's seat on the Pittsburgh-Butler-Erie Construction MATOC, a $250 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract awarded July 2025 for construction services in Pittsburgh, Butler, and Erie areas through July 2030 under total small business set-aside with tiered preference for SDVOSB. VISN 10 contributes 3 awards totaling $11.1 million. The FAA places smaller orders: Headquarters, Southwestern Region, and the Aeronautical Center together account for 9 awards worth $6.7 million. Fluharty Erie operates under two primary vehicles: the Pittsburgh-Butler-Erie Construction MATOC (6 task orders, $5.8 million combined potential value) and the FAA Basic Ordering Agreement (6 task orders, $2.8 million combined potential value).

Activity has accelerated in the past two years—two awards per year in 2022–2024 to four awards in 2025 and six awards year-to-date in 2026 (as of June 20). Five awards carrying $5.8 million in combined potential value complete within the next twenty-four months and face recompete. SCI-reported invoicing across federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $10.9 million in FY2023–FY2024 (FY2022 carried zero reportable contracts). SCI invoicing shows $5.7 million across an estimated 4.0 FTEs in FY2023 and $5.2 million across 10.5 FTEs in FY2024, reflecting growth in delivery workforce. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran a median of $501.72/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching the 90th percentile at $1,148.48/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, an average 43% of contractor hours were performed by subcontractors—indicating material sub-reliance on federal service work captured in SCI, though this subset excludes construction work and does not reflect the broader prime portfolio's delivery model.
