Gerke Electric Inc.

Gerke Electric Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, delivers electrical contracting and security infrastructure services to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor, competing exclusively under SDVOSB set-asides. The company operates as a for-profit corporation with veteran and service-disabled veteran business designations. All eight recent federal awards are prime contracts, structured as purchase orders and one definitive contract; the vendor does not appear in subcontractor roles in the source data.

Gerke Electric's capability portfolio centers on electrical infrastructure installation, replacement, and testing. Representative work includes a $598,197 definitive contract with VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (awarded January 2024) to supply and install new enclosures, readers, power supplies, doors, and switches for an access control system upgrade at the Canandaigua VA Medical Center in New York, with completion by July 2025; a three-year $470,000 electrical testing services order with VA VISN 10 (awarded September 2026) covering maintenance, inspection, testing, and calibration of electrical power distribution systems at the Cincinnati VAMC and Ft. Thomas Domiciliary facilities in compliance with ANSI/NETA MTS standards; and a $142,000 purchase order (awarded September 2026) with VA VISN 10 to replace motor control centers and panelboards at the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis. Security camera and access control work appears across multiple VA medical facilities, including $148,675 for room monitoring camera and sensor installations at the VA Regional Office in St. Paul, Minnesota (awarded September 2025), and $144,660 for Physical Access Control System and panic alarm installations at Bowling Green and Fort Knox VA facilities (awarded June 2025).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, which accounts for four awards totaling $726,000 (43% of combined potential value). VA-wide work represents the vast majority of the footprint across multiple service networks and regional benefit offices, accounting for all but one of the eight awards. The single non-VA award is a $56,919 purchase order from the Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Region (awarded September 2023) for security camera installation and cabling replacement at Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site in St. Louis, Missouri. Primary NAICS codes reflect the electrical contractor focus: six awards fall under NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors), with testing and communications equipment work rounding out the remainder.

Activity has accelerated in recent years, moving from one award in 2023 to three in both 2025 and 2026. Three awards (combined potential value $632,000) face ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and therefore represent recompete opportunity. The source data spans September 2023 through September 2026, capturing recent VA regional expansion and security infrastructure modernization work at VA medical centers and benefit offices across multiple states including Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, New York, and Minnesota.
