PVB Fabrications, Inc.

PVB Fabrications, Inc. PVB Fabrications Division, a Tucson, Arizona-based minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business and Subchapter S Corporation, manufactures and repairs fabric shelter and tension fabric structures as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) exclusively for Air Force and Navy installations. The vendor competes full-and-open and has not used set-aside designations across its prime footprint, despite qualifying as a small disadvantaged business.

PVB Fabrications operates primarily under three indefinite delivery contracts with Air Combat Command: the $3.62 million IDC FA487722D0007 (awarded December 2021, running through January 2027) and two earlier vehicles, FA487718D0002 and FA487712D0003. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on inspections, repairs, cleaning, and preventative maintenance of aircraft sunshades, tension fabric shelters, and related fabric-covered structures at military installations. Representative work includes a $28,210 firm-fixed-price delivery order from Air Combat Command in April 2026 for fabric shelter repairs at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (buildings SO00009 and SO00010), an $82,928 order in December 2025 for sunshade preventative maintenance including inspections and hardware replacement, and a $21,100 purchase order in April 2025 for design, fabrication, and installation of a fabric shade meeting military performance specifications. Delivery orders under the primary IDC have ranged from $4,475 to $136,741. Work includes roof and side panel replacement, skirting repairs, visual inspections, electrical repairs, vent repairs, and battery replacement for aircraft sunshades—activities grounded in the vendor's core NAICS classification as fabricated structural metal manufacturing (75 of 105 awards) with secondary work in specialty trade contracting (21 awards).

Air Combat Command dominates the customer concentration, accounting for 82 of 105 awards with $25.1 million in combined potential value—approximately 82% of the total portfolio. Air Education and Training Command contributes 12 awards valued at $482 thousand, while the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Arizona Region, the Department of Energy, and the Department of the Army account for the remainder. The vendor has worked with 12 distinct federal agencies in recent years, but the portfolio is heavily weighted to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona, which serves as the primary place of performance across the majority of awards.

Activity declined materially in 2025 and 2026, with 18 awards in 2022 dropping to 9 in 2023, recovering to 12 in 2024, then declining to 2 in 2025 and 1 in 2026. Combined potential value across all 105 awards reaches $30.4 million, with $19.4 million obligated. The vendor holds no position on government-wide vehicles or BPAs outside the Air Force IDC portfolio. SCI-reported activity is minimal—only one record in FY2025 identifying the vendor as a named subcontractor, with 2.0 FTEs allocated to that engagement. This SCI footprint does not reflect the vendor's full federal contracting volume, which is dominated by goods procurement (fabric structure fabrication and repair) and delivery orders under Air Force IDCs rather than service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold. PVB Fabrications operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontractor footprint visible in the award data, meaning the company delivers its own technical labor for fabric structure inspection, fabrication, repair, and installation.
