About the company
Shorts Specialty Construction LLC, a HUBZone-certified small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Galion, Ohio, specializes in forced-entry ballistic-resistant (FE/BR) repair and replacement, anti-vehicle barrier installation, and physical security upgrades at U.S. diplomatic facilities worldwide. The vendor operates as a prime contractor exclusively (100% of recent awards) and holds an $82.5 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract awarded by the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (OBO) on April 16, 2026, under a Total Small Business set-aside. The IDIQ contract, one of up to ten awarded competitively, runs through April 15, 2027, and carries a performance requirement for a Secret Facility Security Clearance.
Shorts Specialty Construction's customer footprint is concentrated almost entirely with the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations, which accounts for four awards (100% coverage by count and potential value, combined potential value $84.1 million). The Air Force has issued a single purchase order for $64 thousand. Recent delivery-order and purchase-order activity under the OBO IDIQ includes a $1.504 million firm-fixed-price delivery order for AVB repair and replacement with forced-entry ballistic-resistant and physical security upgrades at a diplomatic facility in Mongolia (ultimate completion October 28, 2027), a $118,200 purchase order for window replacement installation services at the chancery in Ukraine (completion January 30, 2027), and a $63,969 purchase order from the Air Force for supply and installation of fire-rated metal doors at a domestic facility. Prior to the IDIQ award, Shorts Specialty Construction performed a fire-door installation project for OBO in May 2021 and subcontracted on FE/BR repair and replacement services in Kyiv, demonstrating international security-infrastructure execution capability.
Activity has accelerated recently — one award in 2021, one in 2024, and three in 2026 — though dollars obligated represent only 2 percent of combined potential value ($1.7 million obligated of $84.2 million potential). Two awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $1.6 million), positioning the IDIQ for recompete as the primary near-term revenue inflection point. The vendor does not appear in the Service Contract Inventory dataset as a prime contractor above the $150,000 reporting threshold; SCI records show the vendor as a named subcontractor on approximately 3.3 to 3.6 FTEs across FY2024–FY2025, suggesting minimal SCI-reportable sub engagement. The vendor's federal footprint is narrowly specialized in security-focused construction for State Department overseas operations.
