Gdm-Ae, Inc.

Gdm-Ae, Inc. GDM Division, doing business as GDM Of Oregon, is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business providing architectural and engineering services to the federal government as a prime contractor (98% of awards) and operates from Vancouver, Washington as a Subchapter S corporation. The vendor holds concurrent SBA certifications as a self-certified Small Disadvantaged Business and SDVOSB, and competes predominantly under SDVOSB and Total Small Business set-asides across its prime footprint.

GDM's capability portfolio centers on healthcare facility infrastructure modernization and design engineering, with concrete work spanning fire alarm system replacements, Electronic Health Record Modernization infrastructure upgrades, electrical and mechanical system remediation, HVAC and plumbing system design, emergency generator installation, seismic and structural surveys, and landscape and irrigation design. Representative prime contracts include a $5.54 million SDVOSB definitive contract from Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 for EHRM infrastructure upgrades at VA Lyons Medical Center (awarded December 2023, completion November 2028); a $13.36 million SDVOSB delivery order from VISN 20 to resolve electrical deficiencies throughout Walla Walla VA Medical Center (awarded August 2023, completion June 2027); and a $3.4 million SDVOSB definitive contract from Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 for asbestos testing and hazardous materials evaluation at Tibor Rubin VA Medical Center in Long Beach, California (awarded September 2026, completion March 2028).

Customer concentration is extreme and anchored by the VA system. The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center dominates the potential-value ranking with 10 awards carrying $5.02 billion combined potential value, driven primarily by a $5 billion multiple-award IDIQ for national architect-engineering services awarded September 2025 through September 2035. By award count, VISN 20 leads with 61 awards ($56.9 million potential value), followed by VISN 22 with 16 awards ($72.9 million), and VISN 21 with 12 awards ($15.7 million). These three VISNs plus the VA Technology Acquisition Center account for 99% of the vendor's combined potential value. Non-VA exposure includes the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) with a $25 million multiple-award architecture-engineering IDIQ for Transportation, Facilities, and Environmental services (awarded September 2025, completion September 2030), the USDA Agricultural Research Service Pacific West Area with five awards totaling $10.2 million, and the Indian Health Service with a $10 million single-award IDIQ for nationwide A/E services (awarded March 2024, completion March 2027).

GDM holds position on multiple IDIQs anchoring task-order placement. The VA Program Contracting Activity Central Architecture Engineer IDIQ 2025-2035 (a $5 billion multiple-award vehicle for nationwide VA A/E services) carries 7 task orders worth $7.3 million; the VISN 21 Wide A/E Design IDIQ ($3.85 million single-award) carries 26 task orders worth $4.8 million; the VISN 22 Architecture and Engineering MATOC 2019 carries 6 task orders worth $3.6 million; and the Indian Health Service $10 million single-award IDIQ carries at least one task order for emergency generator design at Cibecue ($99,839, completion July 2029). The USDA Forest Service PPS Northwest Zone Architecture and Engineering IDIQ ($25 million multiple-award, completion September 2030) is positioned for design and engineering orders across Forest Service regions covering Oregon, Washington, and Alaska.

Activity trajectory shows growth: 10 awards in 2022, 15 in 2023, 7 in 2024, 12 in 2025, and 18 in 2026 year-to-date. However, 30 awards with combined potential value of $49.8 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating significant recompete exposure and opportunity for competitors to displace GDM on VISN renewal IDIQs and individual task orders.

SCI-reportable invoiced revenue reached $29.2 million in FY2024 across 40.9 FTEs and $3.5 million in FY2025 across 6.1 FTEs, reflecting heavy concentration in 2024 performance and a sharp 2025 decline. On SCI-captured prime contracts, GDM achieved median government-paid rates of $331.71 per hour, with senior labor pricing reaching $1,101.72 per hour and entry-level rates around $110.22 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, GDM delivered 100% of contractor hours with no subcontractor engagement, indicating a fully self-performed delivery model. The vendor operates as a prime on nearly all work; three sub awards to Red Point Construction, LLC for building repair and renovation design work at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (Alaska) in 2022 and 2024 represent minor sub exposure.

GDM's SBA posture and recent contract momentum position the vendor as a primary beneficiary of the VA's Veterans First Contracting Program, which prioritizes SDVOSB and small business set-asides for facility modernization work. The concentration of awards within VISN 20 and VISN 22, combined with the $5 billion national IDIQ position under the VA Technology Acquisition Center, anchors most revenue and recompete risk to VA organizational boundaries rather than competitive diversification.
