James Talcott Construction, Inc.

James Talcott Construction, Inc., a for-profit construction company headquartered in Great Falls, Montana, operates as a prime contractor delivering military facility renovation, repair, and infrastructure maintenance services to the Department of the Air Force and the Army Corps of Engineers. The company competes predominantly on full-and-open solicitations rather than set-asides, though it maintains a subsidiary, Jaghori / JTC Construction, designated as a minority-owned, woman-owned, and small disadvantaged business joint venture that carries self-certified SDB status.

James Talcott Construction has built its federal footprint almost entirely around a single vehicle: the Malmstrom AFB Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC), an IDIQ established in 2020 that authorizes task orders up to $90 million for construction, renovation, repair, and maintenance work at Malmstrom Air Force Base. The company holds 32 task orders under MATOC valued at $32.1 million in combined potential value. Representative work includes a $2.38 million Competitive delivery order awarded October 1, 2024 for combat arms and maintenance facility work at Building 1895; a $1.23 million delivery order issued July 31, 2024 for installation of approximately 3,800 linear feet of 6-inch gas main to complete a looping system; and a $1.28 million delivery order dated July 20, 2023 for fire protection system repair in Building 145. The company also holds task orders under four other Air Force IDIQ vehicles (F2460489D0906, F2460403D0004, FA462604D0002) and an Army Corps of Engineers IDIQ (W912DW10D1015), though publicly available award detail is sparse for those contracts.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Malmstrom Air Force Base operations. The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command anchors the portfolio at 78 awards and $132.8 million in combined potential value (37% of total combined potential value). The Department of the Air Force Space Command, another Malmstrom tenant command, holds 12 awards and $60.1 million. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Seattle represents the second-largest customer by potential value (11 awards, $98.4 million), though award detail for that customer is not provided in the source. The five top customers account for 96% of combined potential value across the entire portfolio. Within the top-customers-by-award-count block, the broader Department of the Air Force entity lists 151 awards with minimal combined potential value ($108 thousand), a signal that many small historical awards or placeholder-valued awards sit in that designation.

The capability portfolio is grounded in building trades: the top NAICS category is Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (77 awards), followed by Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (15 awards), Residential Remodelers (10 awards), and All Other Specialty Trade Contractors (11 awards). Work spans restroom and facility renovations, electrical and communications system repairs and upgrades, structural repairs (roof, flooring, doors), water and gas infrastructure, fire protection systems, and security improvements. James Talcott Construction has not reported subcontract work in the source; all 324 tracked awards are prime contracts.

Activity has been episodic rather than smoothly growing. The company recorded 3 awards in 2021, 9 in 2022, 3 in 2023, 12 in 2024, and 1 award to date in 2026. The combined potential value of $359.1 million with $228.6 million obligated (64% realization) reflects a mature contract portfolio, but the recompete cliff is minimal: only one award with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, valued at $256 thousand. This suggests most of the company's major MATOC task orders have already completed or been subsumed into new orders, reducing near-term recompete risk. The company has served 16 distinct customer agencies across the tracked history, though concentration at Malmstrom is pronounced.
