About the company

G E A Builders Inc., a San Diego-based minority-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business, delivers commercial and institutional building construction and facility renovation services to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor under SBA 8(a) and other set-aside designations. The firm competes almost exclusively through 8(a) sole-source and competitive set-asides—99 percent of its recent awards carry these designations—and holds active SBA 8(a) Program certification (through September 2029), SBA Veteran-Owned Small Business certification (through September 2026), and SBA Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business certification (through September 2026).

G E A Builders Inc. operates as a general contractor focused on courthouse security hardening, federal building maintenance and renovation, border facility improvements, and facility modernization work across the Southwest and California. Recent concrete work includes a $3.3 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract from GSA Region 9 (July 2024) for chiller replacement at the Sandra Day O'Connor U.S. Courthouse in Phoenix, Arizona; a $2.5 million 8(a) sole-source modular building installation at USCG Sector San Diego (September 2025); a $916 thousand 8(a) sole-source contract from Customs and Border Protection for soundproofing and security upgrades at its San Diego facility (December 2022); a $604 thousand eighth-floor renovation at CBP's San Diego office (June 2025); and a $591 thousand perimeter hardening and security infrastructure project at the San Diego Courthouse (July 2025). Smaller representative work spans bullet-resistant glazing window replacements, courtroom carpet and paint refreshes, access control system installations, and HVAC repairs at federal courthouses, border ports of entry, and federal office buildings.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward GSA Region 9 and border or courthouse facilities. The top five funding agencies account for 84 percent of awards by count and 89 percent by combined potential value. GSA Public Buildings Service Region 9 dominates with 38 awards valued at $7.7 million; Customs and Border Protection places second with 14 awards at $2.8 million; the U.S. Coast Guard anchors one award at $2.5 million; the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts contributes 15 awards at $1.9 million; and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services rounds the top five with 6 awards at $659 thousand. NAICS coding confirms the portfolio: 75 of 92 awards (82 percent) fall under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with supporting awards in flooring, electrical, and painting contractors. PSC coding reflects repair and alteration work at office buildings and facilities (61 of 92 awards), with secondary codes for building maintenance and construction.

Activity has grown modestly across the measurement window: 15 awards in 2022 climbing to 20 in 2023, settling at 18 in 2024, recovering to 19 in 2025, and showing 8 awards through September 2026. Six awards with combined potential value of $1.6 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. The source data spans 92 prime awards with combined potential value of $17.3 million (against $17.5 million obligated), indicating mature execution of committed work; 99 percent of the portfolio is prime work, with only one sub-award recorded across the measurement period.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue from federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $3.9 million across fiscal years 2022–2025 (FY2022: $981 thousand across 4.0 FTEs; FY2023: $1.4 million across 0.7 FTEs; FY2024: zero; FY2025: $1.4 million across 0.1 FTEs). This SCI dataset is a strict subset of the vendor's federal services activity and does not represent total enterprise revenue. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor performed 100 percent of hours in-house with zero sub-hours; government-paid rates ranged from a 10th percentile of $110.86 per hour to a 90th percentile of $3,462.37 per hour, with median rates around $603.34 per hour, reflecting a mix of labor-intensive field work and specialized facility system installations.

G E A Builders Inc. maintains two named subsidiaries: Gea-Ecc JV LLC and GEA Per-Geesh JV, LLC, both self-certified small disadvantaged businesses and vehicles for joint-venture work. The vendor operates as a direct prime, not as a subcontractor to other large defense or civilian systems integrators, and does not appear in named sub-awards within the source data. With a tight geographic footprint in the Southwest and California and a customer base concentrated at GSA Region 9 and civilian law-enforcement facilities (courts, CBP, ICE), G E A Builders positions itself as a preferred provider for 8(a) sole-source facility and security upgrades rather than as a teaming partner to larger primes.
