Kovilic Construction Co Inc.

Kovilic Construction Co Inc., a Franklin Park, Illinois–based small business, delivers heavy civil and infrastructure construction services to federal land-management and transportation agencies as a prime contractor across highway and bridge rehabilitation, water resource projects, and dam and spillway repairs. The company operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no identified subcontractors in its federal footprint, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitive procurements.

The Federal Highway Administration dominates Kovilic's customer base, accounting for 36 awards and $154 million of the company's $235.8 million combined potential value across 192 recent prime awards. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers ranks second with 22 awards and $20 million; the Department of the Interior National Park Service contributes $11.6 million across three awards; and the Department of the Army places 20 awards across the footprint. These top four customers account for 84% of combined potential value. Kovilic's work spans 29 distinct federal agencies, indicating broad market access across civilian transportation and natural-resource portfolios.

The company holds the $80 million Mid-Atlantic Regional Construction IDIQ (contract 693C7320D000005) with FHWA, from which it has drawn nine task orders carrying $9 million in combined potential value. Kovilic also operates under additional Navy IDIQs and Army Corps indefinite delivery vehicles, though those vehicles carry smaller individual task-order values. Recent representative work includes a $13.6 million total small business definitive contract from FHWA for Blue Ridge Parkway bridge rehabilitation (NC NP-BLRI 2A16, awarded August 2023, extending through December 2027); a $10.2 million total small business definitive contract for roadway and infrastructure improvements at New River Gorge National Park & Preserve in West Virginia (awarded August 2024, extending through October 2026); an $11.1 million competitively awarded definitive contract from the National Park Service for canal prism restoration and stone wall stabilization at Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park (awarded November 2022, completed October 2024); a $3.8 million FHWA delivery order for Baltimore-Washington Parkway bridge repairs (awarded September 2025, extending through February 2027); and a $2.8 million National Park Service definitive contract for Huntington Ravine water bridge replacement (awarded April 2026, extending through November 2027).

Award work concentrates in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) with 47 awards, followed by 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) with 27 awards, reflecting a portfolio centered on transportation infrastructure rehabilitation and water resource construction. The set-aside posture splits between total small business designations (roughly 60% of recent awards) and full-and-open competitive awards (40%), indicating dual competitiveness across reserved and unrestricted opportunities.

Activity declined from nine awards in 2022 to one award in 2026 year-to-date, with annual volumes of four awards in 2025 and three in 2024, signaling a tightening pipeline. Six awards with combined potential value of $33.4 million face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore require recompete effort. SCI-reported invoiced revenue reached $29.8 million in FY2024 across 30.3 FTEs performing on federal service contracts above the reporting threshold, with government-paid rates ranging from a median of $575.74 per hour to a 90th-percentile rate of $2,003.04 per hour, reflecting a mix of laborer, supervisor, and specialized skilled-trades delivery. The zero percent sub-hours share confirms that Kovilic builds and performs all delivery in-house rather than relying on subcontractor labor on its prime contracts.
