About G E A Builders Inc.

G E A Builders Inc., a San Diego-based SBA 8(a) certified, minority-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business, operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) delivering construction, renovation, and facility modernization services to federal civilian agencies under sole-source and competitive 8(a) set-asides. The company competes predominantly under 8(a) designations across its federal footprint, with 8(a) certifications active through September 2029 for the core program and September 2028 for SDVOSB status.

G E A Builders Inc. specializes in commercial and institutional building construction, flooring replacement, electrical and security system installation, and facility restoration services. Representative work includes a $3.3 million chiller replacement and installation at the Sandra Day O'Connor U.S. Courthouse & Federal Building in Phoenix, Arizona (awarded July 2024 by GSA Region 9 under 8(a) Sole Source), a $916 thousand soundproofing and security upgrade contract at CBP's San Diego facility at 610 W. Ash Street (December 2022 award, firm fixed-price), a $604 thousand eighth-floor renovation at CBP's 610 W. Ash Street location (June 2025 award), and a $591 thousand perimeter hardening and security infrastructure modification at the San Diego Courthouse (July 2025 award by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts). The company executes numerous smaller facility projects in the $10,000 to $350,000 range across federal courthouses, border ports of entry, and office buildings in California and the Southwest.

Customer concentration is acute. GSA Public Buildings Service Region 9 dominates the portfolio with 38 awards accounting for $7.7 million in combined potential value (53% of total dollars). The Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection ranks second with 14 awards valued at $2.8 million combined, followed by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts with 15 awards worth $1.9 million. These three customers account for 93% of the vendor's combined potential value. The top five customers by award count (GSA Region 9, Courts, CBP, USCIS, and IRS) represent 88% of all recent awards. The dollar rankings surface a tension: by count, the Courts ranks second, but by potential value it falls to third behind CBP—CBP's awards run larger on average. GSA Region 9 anchors both rankings decisively.

Activity has remained relatively flat year over year—15 awards in 2022 through 19 awards in 2025, with four awards in 2026 to date. Six awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.3 million, representing moderate recompete exposure. The corporate structure includes two named subsidiaries: Gea-Ecc JV LLC (self-certified small disadvantaged business) and GEA Per-Geesh JV, LLC (self-certified SDB and SDVOSB joint venture), though the source does not indicate distinct operational roles or customer relationships tied to these entities.

SCI-reportable invoicing of $2.4 million across FY2022–FY2024 captures only a fraction of G E A Builders Inc.'s federal services activity and excludes construction goods, products, and sub-$150,000 service contracts. SCI records show 4.0 FTEs in FY2022, declining to 0.7 FTEs in FY2023 and zero FTEs in FY2024 (the SCI dataset reflects contract-level FTE reporting rather than continuous headcount). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid hourly rates ranged from a 10th percentile of $110.86 per hour to a 90th percentile of $3,462.37 per hour, with a median rate of $603.34 per hour. The vendor operated with zero sub-hours share across SCI prime records, indicating G E A Builders Inc. delivered services internally rather than through subcontractor engagement on those reportable contracts. The company does employ specialized mechanical and HVAC subcontractors (Pueblo Mechanical and Controls, LLC) on larger capital projects but remains primarily a direct-delivery prime.
