Mule Engineering, Inc.

Mule Engineering, Inc., doing business as Mule Engineering & Construction, Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA 8(a) Program Participant headquartered in Winter Garden, Florida, operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) delivering construction, facilities maintenance, and renovation services to the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of the Air Force, Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of the Navy. The company is a minority-owned, Subchapter S corporation certified as a small disadvantaged business and veteran-owned small business, with SBA 8(a) designation expiring April 21, 2031, and SDVOSB and VOSB certifications expiring April 22, 2027.

Mule Engineering's capability portfolio centers on commercial and institutional building construction, HVAC systems installation and repair, medical gas systems, roofing and membrane systems, plumbing infrastructure, and facility renovation at military installations and VA medical centers. Representative work includes a $7.05 million SDVOSB-set-aside definitive contract awarded by Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 in September 2022 for HVAC Phase V upgrades at Charles George VA Medical Center in Asheville, North Carolina, completion September 24, 2026; a $2.7 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract awarded by the U.S. Coast Guard in May 2026 for design-build maintenance and repair of station and barracks buildings at USCG Sector St. Petersburg, Florida, completion December 17, 2026; a $2.37 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract awarded by the Coast Guard in June 2026 for design-build replacement of a chiller and security fence at USCG Station Sand Key in Clearwater, Florida, completion March 22, 2027; and a $1.36 million SDVOSB-set-aside definitive contract awarded by Air Force Space Command in May 2025 for HVAC repairs at Building 535, Patrick Space Force Base, Florida, completion May 4, 2026.

Customer concentration is acute and tilted toward the VA. The top five funding organizations account for 97% of combined potential value across all awards. Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 (VA VHA) leads by a wide margin — 10 awards with $512.8 million combined potential value, primarily from two massive IDIQs: an indefinite delivery contract carrying a $2.88 billion ceiling awarded January 31, 2022, and a $2.3 million delivery order awarded September 28, 2021, both under the VISN 7 Multiple Award Task Order Contract. Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (VA VHA) follows with 8 awards worth $252.3 million combined potential value. The Air Force Materiel Command anchors dollar volume with a $300 million Civil Engineering Multiple Award Construction Contract III (CEMACC III) awarded April 11, 2023, set aside exclusively for SDVOSBs, and the Air Force Air Combat Command contributes a $150 million IDIQ (Moody AFB MACC) awarded May 28, 2025, set aside for 8(a), HUBZone, and small businesses. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command awarded a $50 million Competitive 8(a) multiple-award IDC for general construction services at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort on September 24, 2024. Air Force Space Command and the Coast Guard round out the active customer set with smaller dollar volumes.

Mule Engineering holds five named parent vehicles: the Civil Engineering Multiple Award Construction Contract III under Air Force Materiel Command (4 delivery orders, $2.6 million combined potential value); the VISN 7 Multiple Award Task Order Contract under VA VHA (9 delivery orders, $12.8 million combined potential value); the Moody AFB MACC under Air Combat Command (1 delivery order, $250 ceiling); the Naval Facilities Engineering Command general construction services IDIQ at MCAS Beaufort (1 delivery order, $5,000 minimum guarantee); and an Air Force Space Command single-award 8(a) IDIQ with a $9 million ceiling awarded April 9, 2026, with no recent task order activity documented. Mule Engineering competes predominantly under set-aside vehicles — 8(a) sole-source, 8(a) competitive, and SDVOSB set-asides recur across the footprint.

Activity has remained flat at roughly 4–5 awards per year over the past five years, with 42 total awards across 12 federal agencies and combined potential value of $1.3 billion. The company faces modest recompete exposure: four awards with combined potential value of $12.6 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The corporate structure includes one named subsidiary, Mec-Apc JV LLC, a small business joint venture.

Mule Engineering's SCI-reported invoiced revenue across federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold totaled $14.9 million over FY2022–FY2024 ($4.5 million in FY2022, $7.2 million in FY2023, $3.2 million in FY2024), with declining FTE delivery across the period (3.5 FTEs in FY2022, 4.9 FTEs in FY2023, 2.7 FTEs in FY2024). This SCI data represents a strict subset of the vendor's federal services activity and excludes goods, products, and non-federal revenue. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid hourly rates ranged from a 10th percentile of roughly $228/hr to a median of $429/hr and a 90th percentile of $642/hr, reflecting field labor and skilled trades pricing. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 17% of total contractor hours, with 6 named subcontractors engaged, indicating Mule Engineering self-performs the majority of its delivery.
