Gema Contractor Service Corp.

Gema Contractor Service Corp., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and 8(a)-certified firm based in Vega Alta, Puerto Rico, operates as a prime contractor delivering facility maintenance, grounds management, and construction services to federal agencies across Puerto Rico on a mixed set-aside and unrestricted basis. The vendor is minority-owned (Hispanic American) and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, with recent activity concentrated in SDVOSB set-asides and 8(a) sole-source awards.

Gema's capability portfolio centers on grounds maintenance, facility repairs, painting and refreshing, construction services, and specialized facility management work — delivered almost entirely as a prime contractor (100% of awards in the source). Recent representative work includes a $7.3 million grounds maintenance and related services contract with the VA Caribbean Healthcare System (VISN 8) covering landscaping, grounds keeping, and facility support through April 2028; a $2.27 million parking garage cleaning contract at the same facility running through September 2027; and a $6.84 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the National Cemetery Administration for comprehensive grounds maintenance at Morovis National Cemetery with a ceiling through August 2030. Smaller awards cluster around GSA federal building maintenance (painting, flooring, signage, repairs, equipment disposal) and VA facility work (structural assessments, exterior cleaning, irrigation repair, audio-visual installation). Work scope spans commercial and institutional building construction (26 awards), landscaping services (17 awards), painting and wall covering (9 awards), electrical contracting (8 awards), and plumbing and HVAC (6 awards).

Customer concentration is stark and bimodal by dollars versus volume. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration VISN 8 anchors the portfolio: 21 awards with $16.4 million combined potential value (59% of all dollars). The VA National Cemetery Administration adds 7 awards and $8.8 million. Together, these two VA offices represent 28 awards and $25.2 million (91% of combined potential value). By contrast, the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 2 leads by count with 45 awards but carries only $1.1 million in combined potential value, reflecting a high volume of small maintenance purchase orders. Smaller customers include the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard (4 awards, $138 thousand), the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region (4 awards, $138 thousand), the Department of Justice (2 awards, $149 thousand), and the Army Puerto Rico National Guard (2 awards, $251 thousand).

Gema holds a single active parent vehicle: a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Indefinite Delivery Contract (36C78625D50504) with the National Cemetery Administration, awarded September 1, 2025, with a ceiling of $6.84 million through August 2030. Five task orders have been placed against this vehicle with $2 million in combined potential value. The contract requires Davis-Bacon wage compliance and restricts subcontracting to no more than 50 percent of contract value to non-veteran-owned businesses, with a minimum crew of 15 employees year-round.

Activity trajectory shows sharp volatility: seven awards in 2022, a spike to 24 in 2023, then decline to six in 2024, three in 2025, and four in 2026. This pattern reflects the lumpy nature of GSA region-2 small purchase orders (scattered across the 2023 spike) and the timing of major VA contract renewals and recompetes. Three awards with combined potential value of $10.4 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating significant recompete exposure — the bulk anchored by the National Cemetery Administration Morovis contract (ultimate completion May 2027) and a VA VISN 8 delivery order (ultimate completion August 2027). Gema does not appear in the source as a subcontractor on any federal award; 100% of its footprint is prime work. Performance is localized to Puerto Rico facilities — Morovis, Bayamon, San Juan, Hato Rey, Guaynabo, Gobernador Piñero, and federal GSA and VA sites across the island. The vendor has been registered in SAM since 2004, indicating sustained federal contracting presence over two decades.
