Sapper West, Inc.

Sapper West, Inc. (doing business as Sapper West Inc.) is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Fair Oaks, California, that delivers construction, facility maintenance, and infrastructure repair services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor, with all 107 recent awards held in prime capacity and zero subcontractor work in the source record.

The vendor's customer footprint concentrates sharply on the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (the VA's southern California operations) accounts for 70 of 107 awards (93% coverage) and $42.8 million of the $55.4 million combined potential value across the portfolio. Secondary customers include the National Park Service Pacific West Region (9 awards, $4.7 million), VA Network 21 (4 awards, $3.3 million), the National Park Service National Office (1 award, $1.7 million), the VA National Cemetery Administration (3 awards, $1.3 million), and the Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District (13 awards, $555 thousand). The concentration on VISN 22 is extreme and persistent across the award record spanning multiple fiscal years.

Sapper West's capability portfolio centers on facility and infrastructure maintenance at VA medical centers, with concrete work spanning emergency and preventive repair: pipe and waterline repairs (emergency breaks, domestic hot water lines, main water lines); HVAC system replacement and cooling tower service; structural and seismic upgrades (tieback roof anchors for window-washing davit systems); electrical service upgrades (meter base and main panel replacement); epoxy flooring and concrete repair; steam and condensate line repairs; ADA sidewalk and accessibility modifications; emergency infection control barriers; and site preparation and generator enclosure construction. Recent representative awards include a $10.1 million firm fixed-price definitive contract (November 2022, VISN 22) to replace the HVAC system at Sepulveda VA Medical Center in North Hills, California; a $5.5 million contract (September 2022, VISN 22) for physical security design layout services; a $1.7 million CERCLA non-time-critical removal action contract (March 2024, National Park Service) to remediate and remove approximately 1,840 tons of contaminated soil at Alder Camp Road former firing range in Redwood National Park; and a $1.7 million contract (July 2023, VISN 22) for Electronic Health Record Modernization training and administrative space upgrades at the Greater Los Angeles Healthcare Center. Smaller work includes emergency repairs valued between $8,000 and $200,000, typically completed within 30–90 days.

The award distribution by NAICS code reflects this construction-centric posture: Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (40 awards), Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (17 awards), Other Management Consulting Services (13 awards), Water and Sewer Line Construction (8 awards), and Remediation Services (5 awards). Repair of hospitals and infirmaries dominates the PSC breakdown (27 awards across all categories).

Activity has declined year over year. The vendor received 16 awards in 2022, 7 in 2023, 5 in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 3 in 2026 (most recent award dated August 17, 2026). Four awards with combined potential value of $9.8 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore represent recompete exposure.

Sapper West competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides or full-and-open designations. Of the 107 awards in the portfolio, approximately 40 carry explicit SDVOSB set-aside language (competitive or sole-source), while approximately 60 carry no set-aside designation but leverage the vendor's SDVOSB status as a qualification factor. The vendor operates as a prime across all awards with no subcontractor presence in the source data; SCI records show an average sub-hours share of 10% across prime contracts, with three named subcontractors reported in total. On federal service contracts captured in SCI above the $150,000 reporting threshold, the vendor reported $21.8 million in invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2025 (FY2022: $2.5 million; FY2023: zero; FY2024: $2.7 million; FY2025: $16.5 million). Government-paid hourly rates on these contracts ranged from $27.66/hr at the 10th percentile to $704.75/hr at the median to $1,980.71/hr at the 90th percentile, reflecting a mix of labor classifications from trade workers through design and engineering support. The vendor operates a single blanket purchase agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers (W9123810A0021), which carries 12 task orders valued at $555 thousand combined.
