Sergeant Construction Inc.

Sergeant Construction Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and SBA 8(a) certified contractor headquartered in Mokena, Illinois, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering commercial and institutional building construction, facility renovation, maintenance, and specialty trade services to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The company competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides and 8(a) sole-source designations, with the latter characterizing its early awards; recent work splits between SDVOSB set-aside definitive contracts and multiple-award IDIQ task orders.

Sergeant Construction's customer concentration is extreme and deliberate. The Department of Veterans Affairs accounts for 100% of named funding across 49 awards, with the VA National Cemetery Administration holding 32 awards ($71.7 million combined potential value) and the VA Veterans Health Administration's Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 holding 13 awards ($21.6 million combined potential value). The third-largest customer by dollars is VISN 4 (the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Centers program), which anchors the portfolio via a single $100 million IDIQ awarded January 20, 2023, with only a $5,000 delivery order issued to date; this vehicle represents recompete exposure with ultimate completion January 19, 2028. The National Cemetery Administration Midwest MATOC 2019, a $15 million SDVOSB-set-aside IDIQ, has generated 23 task orders ($2.3 million combined potential value) for maintenance, repair, and construction work at Midwest national cemeteries including Abraham Lincoln, Great Lakes, and Danville. A single award from the Social Security Administration, a $803 thousand 8(a) sole-source painting services contract at the Harold Washington Social Security Center in Chicago (awarded September 28, 2023, completed April 30, 2024), diversifies the customer base minimally.

Sergeant Construction's recent capability work centers on VA healthcare facility modernization and national cemetery infrastructure. Representative projects include a $3.67 million SDVOSB definitive contract (awarded June 16, 2026, due October 9, 2027) to repair and replace steam and condensate risers at Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital in Hines, Illinois; a $4.3 million SDVOSB definitive contract (awarded November 1, 2023, due February 16, 2026) for a 1.5T MRI remodel at Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Bedford Park, Illinois; a $3.19 million SDVOSB definitive contract (awarded October 10, 2023, due May 27, 2025) to upgrade the fire protection system at Illiana Veterans Administration Medical Center in Danville, Illinois; and multiple National Cemetery Administration delivery orders for pole barn demolition and replacement, security system installation, fiber optics upgrades, and storage building installation across Midwest cemetery sites.

The portfolio shows uneven activity. Awards per year ran at six in 2022, nine in 2023, then declined to one in 2024 and four in 2025, with two awards in 2026 (the most recent dated September 28, 2026). Three awards face completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $3.8 million, creating modest near-term recompete risk. The $100 million VISN 4 IDIQ represents the primary cliff exposure at January 2028, though low task-order velocity (one $5,000 order in three-and-a-half years) suggests limited current drawdown against that ceiling. Two newer IDIQ vehicles, a $49 million NCA Continental District IDIQ (awarded December 3, 2024) and a $4.9 million NCA Continental District IDIQ (awarded April 7, 2025), both SDVOSB-set-aside and running through 2029 and 2035 respectively, signal Sergeant Construction's recent expansion within the National Cemetery Administration's construction vehicle portfolio.

Sergeant Construction operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontractor relationships disclosed in the federal award record. The Service Contract Inventory dataset, which captures federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, shows SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $11.7 million in FY2024 across 20.0 FTEs (contract-level), with zero FTE and zero revenue reported in FY2022, FY2023, and FY2025. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid hourly rates ranged from a 10th percentile of $202.22/hr to a median of $325.25/hr and a 90th percentile of $395.38/hr. The average sub-hours share across prime contracts was zero, confirming the vendor's full vertical integration for service delivery. SCI figures represent a narrow slice of Sergeant Construction's federal footprint — the dataset excludes goods, micro-purchases, and non-service work — and the FY2024 spike reflects specific billable contracts captured in that fiscal year, not sustained service-contract activity volume.
