PPW Builders Inc.

PPW Builders Inc., a minority-owned, Department of Transportation-certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise based in Berea, Ohio, delivers federal and facility construction, maintenance, and renovation services as a prime contractor exclusively, competing across both total small business set-asides and full-and-open federal construction vehicles. The company operates as a Subchapter S corporation under primary NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with 153 recent prime awards totaling $290.1 million in combined potential value and no subcontractor footprint.

PPW Builders' customer concentration is dominated by NASA. The top five funding agencies account for 78% of recent awards by count and 93% by potential value, with NASA Glenn Research Center alone anchoring 61 awards and $153 million combined potential value, followed by the General Services Administration Region 5 (15 awards, $69.7 million), NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (10 awards, $21 million), and the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (12 awards across multiple districts, $24.6 million combined). The split between customer volume and dollars is stark: Glenn dominates both metrics, but GSA Region 5's potential-value share is substantially larger than its award-count share, signaling that GSA vehicles carry higher-ceiling task orders than the Glenn portfolio. Recent concrete work includes a $3.13 million definitive contract from the Defense Commissary Agency for Wright Patterson Air Force Base commissary roof replacement (total small business set-aside, completion May 2026), a $2.487 million delivery order from Glenn for design and build of a collaboration and briefing center facility (total small business set-aside, completion December 2026), and a $1.544 million delivery order from Glenn for roof repair at Building 39 with RGT Services LLC subcontracted for electrical work (completion October 2026).

PPW Builders holds two multi-award IDIQs: a $100 million Glenn Multiple Award Construction Contract 2 (NASA Glenn, total small business set-aside, ultimate completion November 2026) and a $20 million Marshall Space Flight Center minor construction IDIQ (NASA MSFC, total small business set-aside, ordering period through March 2029). Against Glenn's IDIQ, the vendor has placed 22 task orders totaling $11.8 million in combined potential value; against MSFC's IDIQ, nine task orders totaling $980 thousand. The vendor also holds a position on the GSA Region 5 Regional Construction IDIQ ($50 million ceiling, total small business set-aside, completion November 2026), from which it has placed 15 task orders totaling $69.7 million. Additional parent vehicles include an Army Corps of Engineers $11.9 million IDIQ and an Air Force $2.8 million vehicle. The majority of task orders carry firm fixed-price terms under total small business set-asides; approximately 40% of the recent award count does not carry a set-aside designation, indicating some full-and-open competitiveness, particularly on smaller Marshall and Glenn routine maintenance orders.

Activity trajectory has grown sharply in recent years — one award in 2022, two in 2023, 12 in 2024, 10 in 2025, and 11 year-to-date in 2026 — reflecting sustained pipeline velocity across the NASA and GSA customer base. Thirteen awards (combined potential value $9.2 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. PPW Builders subcontracts selective trade work on larger facility projects — Crazeweld LLC (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business) performed mechanical and piping work on a Glenn service air repair task, Scaffco Scaffolding supplied and installed scaffolding, and OCP Contractors, Duct Fabricators Inc., Precision Environmental Co, Access Floor Specialists LLC, and Siemens Industry Inc. were engaged on the collaboration and briefing center project — but the vendor retains primary construction execution responsibility and self-performs on all SCI-reportable prime contracts.

Service Contract Inventory reporting captures $3.3 million in invoiced amount across 1.8 FTEs in FY2025 only; SCI data is sparse and does not reflect the vendor's broader construction portfolio, which includes goods, products, and capital projects above the $150,000 threshold. The vendor's work scope spans commercial and institutional building construction (107 awards), repair and alteration of office and administrative buildings (31 awards), and heavy and civil engineering construction (17 awards), with performance locations concentrated in Cleveland, Ohio (Glenn), Huntsville, Alabama (MSFC), Cincinnati, Ohio (GSA Region 5 and Federal Reserve), and Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
