Southern Contracting Solutions Iii, LLC

Southern Contracting Solutions III, LLC, doing business as Southern Contracting Solutions LLC, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and women-owned business headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, that delivers comprehensive facility maintenance, operations, and emergency repair services to federal properties as a prime contractor under GSA's Public Buildings Service Region 7 IDIQ vehicle. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of 174 recent awards) on firm fixed-price delivery orders across nine federal buildings totaling 1.8 million square feet in the Houston, Beaumont, and Galveston regions of South Texas.

Southern Contracting Solutions III's capability footprint centers on HVAC system repair and replacement (chiller compressor replacements, cooling tower repairs, air handling unit overhauls, variable frequency drive installation), plumbing infrastructure work (drain line repair, pipe replacement, water heater service), electrical maintenance, roof and building envelope remediation, emergency generator support, and grounds services including landscaping and tree removal. The vendor executes concrete work across named federal facilities: Mickey Leland Federal Courthouse and Federal Building (1919 Smith Street, Houston), Bob Casey Federal Courthouse (515 Rusk Avenue, Houston), Alliance Tower Federal Building (8701 South Gessner Drive, Houston), U.S. Customs House (701 San Jacinto Street, Houston), Jack Brooks Federal Courthouse (300 Willow Street, Beaumont), Galveston Federal Courthouse (601 Rosenberg Street, Galveston), LaBranch Federal Building (2320 La Branch Street, Houston), and FBI offices in Houston. Representative work includes a $168.6 million delivery order for emergency rental generator procurement and electrical connections at the FBI Office Building (awarded July 30, 2025), a $10.9 million recurring full maintenance and operations task order for Houston, Galveston, and Beaumont facilities (May 1, 2025, exercising Option Year IV), and a $7.6 million delivery order for full maintenance and operations and maintenance services across the nine-building portfolio (May 1, 2024).

Customer concentration is extreme. GSA's Public Buildings Service Region 7 funds 99% of the vendor's recent awards—151 delivery orders carrying $59.3 million combined potential value—with secondary activity routed through GSA's national Public Buildings Service (17 awards, $585 thousand), the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (3 awards, $77 thousand), the Department of Justice FBI Houston Field Office (1 award, $11 thousand), and the Internal Revenue Service (1 award, $3 thousand). The two rankings are identical; there is no divergence between award count and dollar concentration at GSA Region 7.

The vendor holds a single dominant parent vehicle: Indefinite Delivery Contract 47PH0221D0004, a $34.2 million single-award SDVOSB IDIQ with GSA Public Buildings Service Region 7 running from May 2021 through April 2030 (extended or renewed through April 2031 in some summaries), against which 173 of 174 recent delivery orders have been placed. This structure makes Southern Contracting Solutions III almost entirely dependent on the renewal and continued exercise of this one vehicle; it is the sole operational pipeline.

Activity has grown from 31 awards in 2022 to a peak of 45 in 2025, then dropped to 15 awards through July 2026 (a partial-year count). The growth trajectory reflects increasing reliance on task order volume rather than new vehicle wins. Recompete risk is moderate: six awards carrying $11.1 million combined potential value will reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, but the underlying IDIQ contract itself does not expire until 2030–2031, providing stability provided recompete does not occur earlier.

SCI-reportable federal service contracts show $3.2 million invoiced in FY2024 across 29.0 FTEs, reflecting only a narrow slice of the vendor's total federal delivery order volume (most small delivery orders fall below the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold). Government-paid rates run at a flat median of $53.72/hr, with no variation across percentiles—indicating uniform labor category pricing on the single reportable contract. The vendor performs zero subcontract work on SCI-covered prime contracts; all labor is direct.

Southern Contracting Solutions III does not appear on any GWACs, federal schedules, or agency-wide IDIQs outside the Region 7 IDIQ. The vendor's entire federal footprint depends on task order volume from one GSA contracting office, all targeting facilities management at nine specific federal buildings in Texas. There is no evidence of teaming arrangements, subcontractor relationships, or sub-award activity. The business model is direct performance of scheduled and emergency maintenance on a regional, facilities-focused IDIQ with extremely high customer concentration and vehicle concentration.
