Liberty Electric Inc.

Liberty Electric Inc., doing business as Smart TECH, is a small business electrical contractor based in Missoula, Montana that performs electrical construction, installation, maintenance, and repair services for federal agencies as a prime contractor on 98% of its recent awards. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across its prime footprint, with a single $7 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the National Institutes of Health Construction running through January 8, 2030 as its anchor vehicle.

The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily on two agencies. The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Construction leads by potential value—10 awards worth $7.8 million combined—while the Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command dominates by award count with 32 contracts valued at $6.7 million combined. Together these two customers account for 95% of the vendor's combined potential value across recent work. Air Force Space Command (9 awards, $2.6 million), the Indian Health Service (2 awards, $1 million), and the Forest Service Region 1 Northern Region (5 awards, $728 thousand) complete the active customer set. The rankings reveal different concentration patterns: NIH leads dollars, while Global Strike Command leads volume, suggesting a mix of single larger-dollar orders and numerous smaller task orders.

Liberty Electric's capability portfolio centers on electrical systems work across federal facilities. Representative prime work includes a $664,550 definitive contract with the 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, completion April 30, 2027); a $385,550 contract with Air Force Space Command for three-phase 208-volt electrical power infrastructure to missile alert facilities near Malmstrom Air Force Base (awarded May 19, 2025, completion October 20, 2025); and a $383,830 contract with Global Strike Command for removal and replacement of street lights, poles, and concrete bases including conduit installation by directional drilling at Malmstrom AFB (awarded April 1, 2026, completion November 30, 2026). The vendor also holds a $7 million single-award NIH Construction BPA through January 2030 under which task orders have funded electrical system upgrades, emergency repairs, lighting control installations, and lightning protection certification and maintenance at the Rocky Mountain Laboratories campus in Hamilton, Montana. Secondary work includes fire detection and alarm system repairs, lightning protection system testing, and SIPRNET fiber optic line installation. The vendor's largest NAICS category is Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors (45 awards), with secondary work in security systems services and power-line construction.

The vendor operates almost exclusively as a prime (93 of 95 awards). It subcontracts minimally; SCI-reported data shows 2 subcontractor engagements across FY2022–FY2024 with no prime service-contract records, suggesting most work is delivered through direct staff or sole-proprietor capacity rather than teaming arrangements. The vendor acts as a sub to Oswood Construction Company (architectural, roofing, and electrical work on Building 25 at NIH/RML, May 2024) and to Copper Creek LLC (electrical work for pole purchase and installation on an Interior project, August 2023).

Activity has declined over the past three years—from 9 awards in 2023 to 1 award in 2027—with only 4 awards (combined potential value $1.3 million) completing within the next twenty-four months and therefore exposing recompete risk in that window. SCI data is sparse (2 records as subcontractor only, zero as prime), indicating the vendor's federal revenue sits substantially below the $150,000-per-contract SCI reporting threshold or is concentrated in goods and product purchases rather than billable services. The vendor has maintained federal relationships since at least 1990, with Montana-based work at Malmstrom Air Force Base, NIH Rocky Mountain Laboratories, and related regional installations as its primary geographic and customer footprint.
