Gdm-Ae, Inc.

Gdm-Ae, Inc. (doing business as GDM Of Oregon), a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in Vancouver, Washington, is a prime contractor specializing in comprehensive architectural and engineering services for federal healthcare facility modernization, delivering design, construction documents, and construction-period services to the Department of Veterans Affairs, Indian Health Service, USDA Forest Service, and the U.S. Air Force. The company operates as a Subchapter S Corporation and competes predominantly under SDVOSB and Total Small Business set-asides across its prime footprint (98% of awards are prime contracts and IDIQs).

GDM-Ae's capability portfolio centers on healthcare infrastructure modernization, particularly Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) infrastructure upgrades, fire alarm system replacements, electrical and mechanical system remediation, switchgear correction, generator design and installation, and facility assessment and planning studies. Representative work includes a $5.54 million SDVOSB-set-aside definitive contract awarded by Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 in December 2023 for EHRM infrastructure design services at VA Lyons Medical Center in New Jersey, with estimated construction value between $20 million and $50 million; a $2.43 million delivery order from VA Technology Acquisition Center in August 2025 for EHRM infrastructure upgrades design at VA Palo Alto Healthcare System in California; and a $13.4 million delivery order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 in August 2023 for electrical system deficiency resolution across the Walla Walla VA Medical Center campus, with design scope extended to meet project objectives.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Veterans Affairs system. The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center anchors 99% of combined potential value across the entire portfolio through a single $5 billion national Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for architect-engineering services awarded September 25, 2025, with a ten-year ordering period through September 2035. Below that tier, Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 represents 61 awards with $56.9 million combined potential value, VISN 22 represents 14 awards with $69.2 million, and VISN 21 represents 9 awards with $10.8 million. The USDA Forest Service, Northwest Zone awarded a $25 million Total Small Business set-aside IDIQ on September 22, 2025, for architect-engineer services across Forest Service Regions 6 and 10 (Oregon, Washington, and Alaska), with an anticipated 20 to 30 multiple-award contracts across all awardees. The Indian Health Service awarded a $10 million single-award IDIQ on March 5, 2024, for comprehensive nationwide architect-engineering services. GDM-Ae's customer base spans 24 distinct federal agencies, but VA accounts for the vast majority of award concentration by dollar value.

GDM-Ae holds four active IDIQs as prime: the $5 billion VA Technology Acquisition Center national MATOC (multiple-award, SDVOSB set-aside, through September 2035); a $45 million single-award IDIQ with Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 for multi-discipline A/E services across Arizona, New Mexico, and Southern California (SDVOSB set-aside, through September 2030); a $10 million single-award IDIQ with the Indian Health Service for nationwide architect-engineering services (Total Small Business set-aside, through March 2027); and a $25 million multiple-award IDIQ with USDA Forest Service for architecture and engineering across Regions 6 and 10 (Total Small Business set-aside, through September 2030). Under the VA Technology Acquisition Center MATOC, GDM-Ae has received task orders including the $79,195.26 delivery order for Project #534-23-105 AE Sprinklers and Ceilings in April 2026 and the $802,448 definitive contract for EHRM infrastructure upgrades at Fort Meade, South Dakota in July 2025. The largest active delivery orders outside the national MATOC include the $3.85 million VISN 21 Wide A/E Design IDIQ ceiling and the $45 million VISN 22 single-award IDIQ, which generated a $274,424 delivery order in March 2026 and multiple additional task orders totaling millions in combined value.

Activity has grown unevenly across the five-year window: ten awards in 2022, fifteen in 2023, seven in 2024, twelve in 2025, and seven awards in 2026. Twenty-four awards with combined potential value of $26.2 million are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing near-term recompete exposure and opportunity for competitors to displace the vendor on renewal efforts. The vendor's SCI-reported invoicing is a recent phenomenon—zero reported invoiced revenue in FY2022 and FY2023, then $29.2 million in FY2024 across 40.9 FTEs. This spike reflects either a change in contract reporting classification or the vendor's enrollment in SCI-reportable activity; the underlying contracts predate the FY2024 invoicing. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid rates show a wide spectrum: median around $331.71/hr for design and engineering labor, with senior labor pricing reaching the 90th percentile of $1,101.72/hr and entry-level work at the 10th percentile of $110.22/hr. The vendor self-performed all SCI-reported hours with zero subcontractor engagement on prime contracts.

GDM-Ae operates almost entirely as a prime contractor or IDIQ awardee; its sub-award footprint is negligible (2% of total awards by count). The three named sub awards show design work performed for Red Point Construction, LLC on repair and renovation projects at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska (two awards in 2024, one in 2022). The vendor's primary customer is the VA system, and its competitive posture is anchored to SDVOSB and Total Small Business set-asides, with limited full-and-open competition in its award history. The company's NAICS coding reflects its core capability: 109 awards under Engineering Services (NAICS 541330) and 7 under Architectural Services (NAICS 541310), with the remainder in construction and facility-related PSC codes focused on hospital and healthcare facility infrastructure.
