The Craddock Group, LLC

The Craddock Group, LLC, an SBA Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, provides strategic capital investment planning, economic analysis, feasibility studies, real estate transaction support, and program management services to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a 100% prime contractor. The firm is certified as both a Veteran-Owned Small Business and SDVOSB through January 13, 2028, and competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides across a portfolio where nearly all recent awards carry set-aside designations.

Craddock operates almost entirely within the VA ecosystem. The top five customer entities account for 93% of recent awards, dominated overwhelmingly by the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Construction and Facilities Management (28 awards, $174.2 million combined potential value) and the VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin (38 awards, $75.2 million combined potential value). The split between these two customers masks a significant potential-value skew: while TAC Austin places more task orders, CFM's awards carry substantially higher ceiling values. VA Headquarters (24 awards, $35.2 million) and Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (3 awards, $7 million) round out the core set. A single GSA Federal Acquisition Service seat on the Multiple Award Schedule carries $57 million in combined potential value — Craddock's largest single vehicle — placing facilities management work with non-VA federal agencies, though the practical pipeline remains heavily Veterans Affairs focused. Craddock has no subcontract footprint; the vendor operates as prime on 100% of recent awards and generates no sub-award revenue.

Craddock's core capability centers on facilities capital planning, economic analysis, and business case development for large federal facility replacement and modernization programs. Representative work includes a $7.422 million delivery order from the VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management for technical, analytical, and programmatic support to the capital facilities management office's active leasing portfolio through June 2030; a $6.048 million IDIQ delivery order from VA Technology Acquisition Center for Strategic Capital Investment Planning (SCIP) program support covering fiscal years 2028 and 2029; a $2.383 million feasibility study from Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 to determine replacement options for the VA Medical Center in Atlanta; and a $2.407 million planning and feasibility study from VISN 22 for VA Medical Center replacement options in Nashville. Enhanced-use lease program management represents a secondary but substantial line — multiple delivery orders in the $650 thousand to $1.997 million range support lease program management, technical reporting, and financial analysis under several IDIQ vehicles. The vendor also executes space analysis modeling, activation program support, real property reporting and data management, and capital program management requirements process support.

Craddock holds five significant parent IDIQs and BPAs with the VA. The largest is a $130 million Real Estate Transaction Support BPA awarded by the VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management in August 2023, set-aside for SDVOSB, extending through August 2027, from which recent calls include $59.5 thousand and $54.2 thousand for due diligence and other real estate work. Three single-award SDVOSBIDIQs total $21 million in combined ceiling: a $7.5 million Capital Investment Options IDIQ awarded June 2026 (extending June 2029) with requirements including 10-plus years of healthcare facility planning experience, cost estimating in high-cost markets, and construction management in active medical environments; a $7.5 million SCIP Program Support IDIQ awarded June 2024 (extending June 2029) supporting plan updates, training materials, action-plan review, and help-desk support; and a $7 million Capital Investment Options Support IDIQ awarded May 2024 (extending May 2029) for options analysis, business case development, and budget submission support. A $6.332 million Enhanced Use Lease Program Management IDIQ awarded February 2022 (extending February 2027) covers program management, technical reporting, and deliverables under Public Law 117-168's expanded EUL authority. Task orders issued under these vehicles run firm fixed price, typically 365 calendar days or multi-year, and cluster around $2 million to $3.5 million per order. Craddock also places work via the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (11 task orders, $162.3 million combined potential value), primarily for feasibility studies and program support work.

Activity trends show relative stability with modest growth. Awards per year ran 11 (2022), 9 (2023), 11 (2024), 6 (2025), and 9 (2026), averaging roughly 9 to 11 per year. Combined potential value across all 102 awards totals $362.9 million, with $105.8 million obligated (29% execution rate), indicating a substantial unbilled pipeline. Eight awards (combined potential value $10.7 million) will complete within the next twenty-four months, exposing Craddock to near-term recompete risk on those vehicles, though the core IDIQs extend through 2029 and provide stability.

SCI-reported invoicing from prime contracts totaled $38.9 million across FY2022–FY2025, growing from $6.1 million in FY2022 to $12.5 million in FY2025. Workforce scaled from 8.4 FTEs in FY2022 to 19.6 FTEs in FY2025, reflecting expanding delivery headcount. On SCI-reportable federal services contracts, government-paid hourly rates median around $289.62 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $121.15/hr and the 90th percentile at $651.93/hr, consistent with a mix of analyst, consultant, and senior management labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average 5% of total contractor hours, with 9 total named subcontractors reported, underscoring Craddock's lean, self-delivery model. GSA Schedule labor rates span four active categories from $147.68/hr (bachelor's, entry-level consultant) to $336.30/hr (master's, senior manager), with no cleared positions offered.

Craddock's narrow customer and geographic focus — almost exclusively Arlington-based delivery to VA headquarters and field organizations — makes it a specialized VA capital planning and facilities-consulting firm rather than a broad federal services provider. The SDVOSB and Veteran-Owned posture, combined with demonstrated past performance on VA capital planning work, anchors task order wins on set-aside vehicles. The firm competes as a prime across 100% of its active footprint with minimal subcontractor engagement, meaning Craddock neither brings substantial sub teams to prime opportunities nor feeds significant work to other contractors as a sub.
