About the company
Messer Construction Co, a Subchapter S Corporation based in Cincinnati, Ohio, operates as a prime contractor delivering design-build and design-bid-build construction services for federal facilities—military installations, research centers, and civilian federal buildings—exclusively on a full-and-open competition basis with no set-aside utilization. The company competes in commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS 236220) and related facility work, holding 161 prime contracts with a combined potential value of $1.17 billion and $1.08 billion obligated. Messer does not subcontract material volumes and operates predominantly as a self-performing general contractor.
Messer's customer base concentrates heavily on military real estate and infrastructure, with 94% of recent awards concentrated among five customer entities. The Department of the Air Force dominates by award count (114 awards), but the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Louisville anchors the dollars—23 awards carrying $866.3 million in combined potential value. That concentration reflects a sustained, multi-year portfolio of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base construction and renovation work. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 5 sits third by potential value ($84.2 million across three awards), followed by the Department of Agriculture ($82.5 million, one award) and United States Special Operations Command ($45.6 million, one award). Recent representative work includes a $82.5 million design-build contract with USDA for construction of the Forage Animal Production Research Unit at the University of Kentucky (awarded September 28, 2026, completion December 5, 2029); a $166.8 million contract for temporary lodging and visiting quarters at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (awarded December 10, 2025, completion November 24, 2028); a $128.6 million renovation of Air Force Materiel Command Headquarters Building 10262 Phase 1 at Wright-Patterson (awarded May 9, 2023, completion April 16, 2027); and a $70.8 million construction and renovation of family housing at Wright-Patterson (awarded December 8, 2022, completion December 26, 2026).
Messer places work under three named parent vehicles: a Basic Ordering Agreement (F3361580D1184) carrying 114 task orders and anchoring the Air Force workload; an Indefinite Delivery Contract (DACA2783C0060) with four task orders; and a second Indefinite Delivery Contract (DABT2301D1037) with two task orders. Six awards totaling $323.8 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure.
Recent activity has modulated to two awards annually (2025, 2026) following earlier peaks of three to four awards per year (2023–2024). SCI-reportable invoicing reached $15.8 million in FY2025 across 10.4 FTEs, representing government-paid work on the $22.2 million Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts Bricker Federal Building bankruptcy court buildout (awarded May 3, 2024, completion January 28, 2027), where Messer self-performed 100% of reported hours with no subcontractor involvement. On federal service contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid hourly rates ran around $118.72/hr, with senior labor pricing through $245.43/hr and lower-tier rates near $77.40/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Messer engaged subcontractors for 34% of total contractor hours, naming two subcontractors in the dataset—a ratio that contrasts with the company's full-prime posture across the broader contract portfolio.
