The Nutmeg Companies, Inc.

The Nutmeg Companies, Inc., a Connecticut-based small business general and mechanical contractor, operates as a prime contractor (100% of awards) on federal construction and facility renovation work, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides across civilian and defense agencies. The firm holds a 25-year track record in federal construction delivery and is structured as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Norwich, Connecticut, competing under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction).

Nutmeg's customer base concentrates heavily on civilian federal real-estate and facilities modernization. The top five agencies by potential value account for 73% of combined award value and are led by the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 1 ($433.4 million across 31 awards), the Department of Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command ($147.5 million across 8 awards), and Navy Installations Command ($118.1 million across 7 awards). The Air Force Air National Guard contributes $64.7 million across 8 awards, and the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard provides $43.5 million across 50 awards. The divergence between award count and potential value reflects Nutmeg's mix of large Navy and GSA renovation contracts (often exceeding $10 million) alongside smaller Coast Guard and Army facility repair orders.

Recent large prime contracts include a $37.6 million definitive contract with Navy Installations Command awarded September 8, 2023, for renovation and repair of permanent party bachelor quarters at Submarine Base New London in Groton, Connecticut (completion August 31, 2026), a $28.67 million firm fixed-price contract with Navy for Building 79 second and third floor renovations at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine (awarded September 14, 2023, completed May 30, 2026), a $24.384 million Air National Guard contract for construction of an Aircraft Support Equipment and Vehicle Maintenance Facility at Bradley Air National Guard Base in East Granby, Connecticut (awarded June 30, 2023, completion August 31, 2025), and a $15.2 million Department of Defense Engineering and Installation District Louisville contract for repair and operations of Squadron Operations Building 7087 in Chicopee, Massachusetts (awarded March 10, 2026, completion September 29, 2027). Nutmeg also holds two $125 million multiple-award IDIQs with GSA Region 1 awarded February 24, 2025, covering construction services for GSA-owned and leased federal facilities in Region 1 North and South Zones through September 26, 2028; recent delivery orders under these IDIQs include a $318,063.50 May 2026 order for restoration of historic decorative elements at the Harold D. Donohue Federal Building in Boston (completion February 26, 2027) and a $231,183.94 July 2026 order for stairwell tread and paint work at the Giaimo Federal Building in New Haven (completion December 17, 2026).

The vendor's primary vehicle footprint includes the DHS Multi-Trade Construction IDIQ (50 task orders, $204.2 million combined potential value), the GSA Region 1 Construction IDIQ North and South Zones (the two new $125 million IDIQs noted above), and several Navy and Coast Guard indefinite-delivery contracts. Activity shows modest year-over-year variation—five awards in 2021, one in 2022, three in 2023, two in 2025, three in 2026—with only three awards (combined potential value $15.8 million) reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure.

On SCI-reportable service contracts, Nutmeg delivered $8 million in invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2025 (FY2024 peak at $3.4 million), with government-paid hourly rates ranging from a 10th percentile of $138.07/hr to a median of $370.32/hr and a 90th percentile of $2,168.72/hr. The SCI dataset captures 11 records as prime; across those prime contracts, subcontractors perform approximately 45% of total contractor hours, with 44 named subs reported. Notable subcontractors on large construction awards include Marguerite Concrete, G & R Construction, Delaware Elevator, Siemens Industry Inc. (for HVAC controls), Advantor Systems II LLC, and E.f.&G. Construction covering structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and site-support trades. The SCI figures represent a strict subset of Nutmeg's federal revenue (the firm's combined potential value across 270 awards totals $1.11 billion) and exclude goods, micro-purchases, and non-federal revenue.
