Liberty Electric Inc.

Liberty Electric Inc., doing business as Smart TECH, is a small business electrical contractor headquartered in Missoula, Montana, that delivers electrical construction, installation, maintenance, repair, and infrastructure upgrades to federal agencies as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) operating predominantly under total small business set-asides.

Liberty Electric competes primarily in federal electrical construction and maintenance—lighting systems, power distribution, fire detection and alarm systems, lightning protection, and facility electrical upgrades. Concrete recent work includes a $664,550 definitive contract from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service for interior lighting fixture and control replacements at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Great Falls, Montana (awarded January 1, 2027, with completion by April 30, 2027); a $385,550 definitive contract from Air Force Space Command for three-phase 208-volt electrical power infrastructure to lagoons at eleven Missile Alert Facilities near Malmstrom Air Force Base (awarded May 19, 2025); a $383,830 definitive contract from Air Force Global Strike Command for removal and replacement of street lights, poles, and concrete bases including directional drilling of conduits at Malmstrom AFB (awarded April 1, 2026); and a $207,793 BPA call from NIH Construction for annual lightning protection certification, maintenance, and repair services at the Rocky Mountain Laboratories campus in Hamilton, Montana (awarded February 20, 2024). Liberty Electric anchors its revenue on a $7 million single-award blanket purchase agreement with NIH Construction running through January 8, 2030, under which it delivers on-call electrical construction, renovations, alterations, and repairs across NIH facilities.

Customer concentration tilts toward defense infrastructure. The top five funding agencies account for 68% of recent awards by count, led by the Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command (32 awards, $6.7 million combined potential value) and the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Construction (10 awards, $7.8 million combined potential value). The two customer rankings diverge slightly on dollar magnitude—NIH's potential value edges Global Strike Command's despite fewer awards, driven by the $7 million BPA ceiling. Air Force Space Command placed 9 awards ($2.6 million combined potential value), the Department of Agriculture Forest Service 5 awards ($728 thousand), and the Indian Health Service 2 awards ($1 million), together anchoring 95% of combined potential value across the award portfolio. Liberty Electric has also worked with the Air National Guard, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Forest Service Research Station across its customer footprint.

Across the recent portfolio, Liberty Electric has executed 95 prime and sub awards with a combined potential value of $19.8 million and $16.1 million in obligated dollars (81% burn rate). Activity shows a sharp decline from 9 awards in 2023 to 1 award in 2027 (the most recent), with 3 awards placed in 2026 and 4 in each of 2024 and 2025. Four awards totaling $1.3 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure on smaller task orders rather than a major vehicle cliff. Liberty Electric's NAICS concentration runs heavily to electrical contractors (45 awards under NAICS 238210), with secondary work in security systems services (6 awards) and power-line construction (3 awards). The vendor operates as a subcontractor on only 2 sub awards out of 95, indicating a pure prime posture; named sub-award primes include Oswood Construction Company and Copper Creek, LLC, with Liberty Electric providing electrical services as a sub-tier. SCI data shows minimal service-contract reporting (3 records as a named subcontractor across FY2022–FY2025, with 5.9 FTEs recorded in FY2024), indicating that most of Liberty Electric's federal revenue flows through definitive contracts and BPA calls not captured in SCI's reporting threshold rather than through SCI-reportable service contracts.
