R.f. Macdonald Co., LLC

R.f. Macdonald Co., LLC, a Hayward, California-based for-profit limited liability company with over 50 years of experience, supplies boiler maintenance, repair, replacement, inspection, and emergency services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) under full and open competition with no small business set-aside posture.

The company's concrete capability footprint centers on critical infrastructure maintenance for steam and hot-water systems, industrial boiler equipment repair and parts replacement, and facility emissions testing and certification. Primary NAICS codes are 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) across 61 recent awards and 333318 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance) across 43 awards; PSC coding runs to Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Furnace, Steam Plant, and Drying Equipment across 29 awards. R.f. Macdonald operates subsidiaries including R.f. Macdonald CO. (for-profit organization). Representative prime work includes a $461,506 definitive contract awarded July 1, 2026, by Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 22 for Cleaver Brooks boiler safety services at the San Diego VA Medical Center through June 30, 2031 (sole-source under FAR 6.302-2 for equipment compatibility and continuity); a $461,581 purchase order from VISN 21 effective February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2028, for boiler plant maintenance at the Stockton VA Clinic in French Camp, California, justified on warranty authorization grounds; and a $51,670 definitive contract from VISN 22 effective September 1, 2022, through December 31, 2027, for boiler emissions testing and control services at Loma Linda to comply with South Coast Air Quality Management District rules.

Customer concentration is acute: the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration dominates across two VISNs — VISN 22 holds 86 awards ($4.7 million combined potential value) and VISN 21 holds 23 awards ($1.5 million combined potential value) — representing 55% of all awards and 82% of combined potential value in the award portfolio. The next-largest customers by award count are the Department of the Navy (12 awards), the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service (8 awards), and the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command (6 awards, $485 thousand). The two rankings are nearly identical; VISN 22 and VISN 21 dominate both volume and dollars. A subsidiary relationship exists with R.f. Macdonald CO., carrying the same boiler-services focus.

Vehicle position shows 25 task orders placed against Basic Ordering Agreement GS09B93632, with 4 task orders under Indefinite Delivery Contract W52P1J21D0036 (Army family housing and boiler work at Hawthorne Army Depot through Amentum Services, Inc.) and 1 task order under Indefinite Delivery Contract DAHC2381C0074.

Activity remained flat or slightly declining — five awards in 2022, nine in 2023, eight in 2024, six in 2025, and five in 2026 — with only three awards (combined potential value $622 thousand) completing within the next twenty-four months, indicating low recompete pressure. The source documents 247 total awards with combined potential value of $9 million but combined obligated dollars of $15.4 million (172% of potential value), suggesting substantial invoice activity beyond posted ceiling values across the portfolio.

R.f. Macdonald subcontracts minimally: four sub-awards place boiler services and equipment replacement work under Amentum Services, Inc. on Army family housing and boiler maintenance task orders at Hawthorne Army Depot (June 17, 2025; June 11, 2025; October 9, 2024; August 29, 2024). The subcontract footprint represents less than 2% of the total award count.

The vendor's customer base spans 32 distinct federal agencies; outside the VA concentration, work is scattered across the Department of Justice (Bureau of Prisons), the Department of the Navy, the Defense Health Agency, the Department of the Interior, and the General Services Administration. No manufacturer exclusivity, warranty authorization requirements, or sole-source justifications appear in the VA work; where documented, they cite Cleaver Brooks equipment authorization and regional representation rights.
