Modern Building Systems, Inc.

Modern Building Systems, Inc., a family-owned manufacturer and lessor of modular buildings and temporary structures based in Aumsville, Oregon, operates as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) selling prefabricated and portable office spaces, trailers, and modular facilities to federal agencies without set-aside designations. The company competes full-and-open across a broad customer base of thirty-six distinct federal agencies, with no SBA certifications and no recurring set-aside usage in its recent award history.

Modern Building Systems' capability portfolio centers on temporary modular office space, portable job-site trailers, prefabricated classrooms, and specialized structures ranging from 8x16 to 56x64 feet. Representative prime work includes a $394,740 delivery order from the Environmental Protection Agency (April 2023) for onsite temporary modular office space in Corvallis, Oregon under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, with completion set for June 30, 2026; a $565,940 definitive contract from the U.S. Forest Service Region 6 (March 2023) to provide a 48-by-60-foot modular office for the La Grande Interagency Hotshot Crew under a small-business set-aside, with option year 3 exercised in August 2025; and a $96,283 firm fixed-price contract from Air Force Materiel Command (May 2022) for a JSF Life Support Trailer supporting the 461st Flight Test Squadron at Edwards Air Force Base, California, with completion through May 31, 2027. Most recent award activity includes a $321,138 delivery order from the EPA (July 1, 2026) for onsite temporary modular office space in Corvallis under the Multiple Award Schedule, extending through January 1, 2030.

Customer concentration spans the civilian infrastructure and land-management agencies. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region leads by award count with twenty awards worth $1.1 million combined potential value, while the GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates by dollar magnitude with three awards totaling $9.3 million — driven primarily by the company's position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (ceiling $6.7 million, awarded November 2022, running through October 31, 2027). The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Park Service, and the Army Corps of Engineers round out the active agency set. Modern Building Systems places fifty task orders under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, generating $4.7 million in combined potential value, and holds one task order under an indefinite delivery contract (DACA6787C0033) with the Army.

Activity has been sparse and episodic over the past five years — two awards in 2019, four in 2021, two in 2022, three in 2023, and one in 2026 — with only two awards (combined potential value $662 thousand) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete exposure. The vendor subcontracts to Nova Group, Inc. on JP8 jet fuel storage tank office trailer rental work (four awards, October 2021). Across top NAICS categories, the vendor's work clusters in prefabricated metal building and component manufacturing (57 awards), leasing of nonresidential buildings (16 awards), and commercial building construction (9 awards), with supporting activity in manufactured home manufacturing and oil-and-gas pipeline structures. The combined obligated spend across all awards totals $12.7 million against a $20.2 million combined potential value ceiling.
