Lochridge-Priest, Inc.

Lochridge-Priest, Inc., a for-profit construction and mechanical-services contractor based in Waco, Texas, operates as both a prime contractor (50% of recent awards) and subcontractor on federal facility infrastructure projects, with all work concentrated in HVAC installation, maintenance, and equipment repair across commercial and institutional building construction.

The vendor's customer footprint is heavily concentrated in the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, which accounts for 11 of 12 total awards and $85 thousand combined potential value (92% of combined potential value across all awards). The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Fort Worth represents the sole other customer, with one award valued at $4 thousand. Six awards span June 2022, marking the vendor's most recent activity — three years ago — with no recorded federal awards since that date.

Lochridge-Priest sits on no named federal contract vehicles (GWACs, BPAs, agency-wide IDIQs, or GSA Schedules) in the source record. When operating as a subcontractor, the vendor works under Billy W. Jarrett Construction Company, Inc., performing HVAC installation work on design-build parking structures. Six sub-awards from June 2022 all reflect the same project scope — parking structure HVAC installation — under the same prime contractor, suggesting concentrated sub-engagement on a single design-build delivery.

The vendor's award activity shows long gaps between awards. The source records one award in 2007, one in 2015, two each in 2016 and 2017, and then six awards clustered in June 2022, with no activity recorded in the four years following. Combined potential value across all awards ($89 thousand) is substantially lower than combined dollars obligated ($351 thousand), indicating that several awards have drawn down to completion with spend exceeding initial potential value estimates.

Service Contract Inventory data captures only two SCI records spanning FY2024 and FY2025, both as named subcontractor activity. The vendor shows 0.0 FTEs in FY2024 and 1.6 FTEs in FY2025 in SCI-reported federal services work — a partial view excluding goods procurement, equipment sales, and non-federal revenue. Lochridge-Priest's recent federal footprint is narrow and inactive; the concentration of work with VA VISN 17 and the absence of any recorded awards in the past four years suggests limited current federal contracting momentum.
