GCH Construction Company

GCH Construction Company, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in Windsor, Colorado, operates as a prime contractor across 387 federal construction, renovation, and facilities management awards totaling $2.65 billion in combined potential value. The company competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides and total small business designations, with all recent awards issued as prime contracts; the vendor does not operate as a subcontractor in the source data.

GCH Construction delivers commercial and institutional building construction, HVAC system replacement, electrical infrastructure upgrades, plumbing and mechanical work, fire safety system installation, roofing, and specialized facilities maintenance services. Representative work includes a $19.03 million VA Technology Acquisition Center definitive contract for Electronic Health Records Management (EHRM) infrastructure upgrades at St. Cloud VA Medical Center in Minnesota (awarded September 2022, firm fixed price, SDVOSB set-aside); a $27.38 million SDVOSB-set-aside definitive contract with Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 to construct a combined energy plant at Omaha VA Medical Center in Nebraska (awarded August 2022, 550 calendar-day performance period); and a $17.51 million VA Technology Acquisition Center EHRM infrastructure upgrades contract at Fort Harrison VA Medical Center in Montana (awarded March 2023, ultimate completion May 2026, SDVOSB set-aside). Across SCI-reportable service contracts, GCH invoiced $33.3 million in FY2022, $45.3 million in FY2023, and $40.4 million in FY2024, delivering roughly 11–14 FTEs per fiscal year on federal services work captured above the $150,000 reporting threshold.

Customer concentration centers on the Department of Veterans Affairs across multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks. The top five funding agencies account for 93 percent of combined potential value: VISN 22 (22 awards, $821 million), VISN 19 (128 awards, $706 million), VISN 23 (146 awards, $566.3 million), General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 8 (5 awards, $250.7 million), and VISN 17 (23 awards, $118.8 million). VISN 23 and VISN 19 lead by award count, reflecting high-frequency delivery-order activity from existing MATOCs; VISN 22's dominance by dollar value reflects the recent $600 million MATOC award. The National Cemetery Administration supplies steady smaller-dollar delivery orders for cemetery operations at Fort Lyon National Cemetery in Colorado.

GCH holds four active parent vehicle positions. The VISN 19 Design Build Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) runs through May 31, 2027, with a $500 million ceiling and SDVOSB set-aside, covering construction and facilities services across Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and surrounding states; recent delivery orders include a $6.1 million penthouse HVAC replacement (awarded January 31, 2025, completion May 11, 2026) and a $1.2 million sanitary sewer replacement (awarded March 31, 2025, completion October 27, 2025). The VISN 22 Construction MATOC holds a $600 million ceiling with SDVOSB set-aside, extending through June 24, 2029, for services across Southern California, Arizona, and New Mexico. A Department of Defense Southwest Region single-award IDIQ for dust suppressant application at Fort Carson, Colorado carries a $3.65 million ceiling and total small business set-aside through April 30, 2028. Older vehicles continue generating delivery orders: the Construction MATOC for Iowa and Nebraska Western-Iowa Regions in VISN 23 issued 18 task orders worth $23 million combined potential value.

Activity has declined year over year — 35 awards in 2022 to 13 in 2024 and 8 in 2025 — reflecting maturation of large infrastructure projects rather than new vehicle awards. However, GCH faces significant recompete exposure: the source does not provide a structured recompete-cliff analysis, but the oldest parent vehicles (VISN 23 Construction MATOC 2014–2018 with 49 task orders worth $16.1 million, and VISN 18 Medical Center Construction 2016–2021 with 24 task orders worth $35.6 million) indicate expiring contracts in the near term.

Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid hourly rates run a median of $839.94/hr, with 10th percentile at $130.80/hr and 90th percentile at $1,793.09/hr, reflecting a portfolio spanning labor-intensive site preparation and routine maintenance through senior engineering and project management. On average, 30 percent of contractor hours on prime contracts are performed by subcontractors; GCH names 96 subcontractors across its prime SCI records, indicating a standard practices of leveraging specialized subs for mechanical, electrical, and HVAC work while maintaining its own crews for general construction and project control.

GCH's federal footprint is VA-centric and regionally concentrated: 297 of 387 awards (77 percent) flow through Veterans Health Administration networks across the Mountain West, Great Plains, and Upper Midwest. The company's SDVOSB status and established MATOC positions anchor recurring delivery-order revenue at VA medical centers and facilities, but absence of growth in recent years and expiration of legacy vehicles present near-term recompete risk.
