Ruthrauff Sauer, LLC

Ruthrauff Sauer, LLC is a for-profit limited liability company based in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, that operates as a prime contractor delivering plumbing, HVAC, and water infrastructure repair and maintenance services to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The vendor competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its recent federal footprint.

Ruthrauff Sauer's work centers on emergency and routine facility repairs. Recent awards include a $314,472 firm fixed-price definitive contract from VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 for emergency water main repair in Aspinwall, Pennsylvania (June–August 2022); a $19,000 emergency 8-inch water line repair purchase order from the same network (August 2021); a $14,762 water line repair at a VA medical center in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania (May 2023); a $10,500 main water meter repipe and bottle filler installation at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania (September 2022); a $3,300 urgent HVAC repair purchase order from the National Cemetery Administration (June 2025); and a $4,652 emergency backflow valve repair at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania (May 2026). All recent work falls under primary NAICS 561720 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) with secondary exposure to water supply facility repair and maintenance.

Customer concentration is singular. One hundred percent of awards derive from two suborganizations within the Department of Veterans Affairs: Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (10 awards, $527 thousand combined potential value) and the National Cemetery Administration (3 awards, $18 thousand). The two VA customer segments account for the full award portfolio. Activity is sparse and episodic — one award per year on average across the past five years, with thirteen total awards since 2012 and a combined obligated value of $546 thousand. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no federal subcontract footprint in the source data. Service Contract Inventory data captures one record, showing 2.3 FTEs in FY2024 under a subcontractor role, indicating minimal SCI-reportable federal service-contract activity and suggesting that Ruthrauff Sauer's federal work is dominated by small purchase orders and emergency repairs below or at the SCI reporting threshold rather than larger services engagements.
