The Povolny Group Inc.

The Povolny Group Inc., doing business as Povolny Group Inc., is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, that provides construction, facility maintenance, and infrastructure upgrade services exclusively to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor across multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks and the National Cemetery Administration. The company holds dual SBA certifications as both SDVOSB and Veteran-Owned Small Business through September 22, 2027, and competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides; 100% of its recent award footprint consists of prime contracts, with no subcontractor role.

Povolny Group's capability portfolio centers on healthcare facility construction and modernization, grounded in concrete project work spanning mechanical and electrical systems upgrades, HVAC replacements, plumbing and sanitary infrastructure, facility renovations, emergency repairs, and Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) infrastructure upgrades. Representative prime work includes a $50.3 million EHRM infrastructure upgrade at West Palm Beach VA Medical Center (awarded September 2023, firm fixed price, firm fixed price, ultimate completion November 2025), a $47.1 million EHRM infrastructure upgrade at Captain James A. Lovell VA Medical Center in North Chicago (awarded September 2023, ultimate completion October 2026), a $14.5 million urgent care building renovation in Grand Junction, Colorado (awarded September 2025, delivery order under VISN 19 Design Build MATOC, ultimate completion November 2026), and a $12.2 million gravesite expansion at Omaha National Cemetery (awarded September 2022, firm fixed price, ultimate completion March 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme and single-threaded. The top five customer VISNs account for 68% of all awards by count and 95% of combined potential value by dollars. VISN 22 (Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico) anchors the highest potential value at $735.3 million across 23 awards, followed by VISN 17 (Central Texas) at $600 million (two awards—both indefinite delivery contracts), VISN 19 (Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Oklahoma) at $552.2 million across 35 awards, VA Technology Acquisition Center at $169.8 million across 8 awards, and VISN 23 (Iowa, Nebraska) at $117.5 million across 39 awards. The National Cemetery Administration accounts for $25.7 million across 19 awards, predominantly small definitive contracts for cemetery road renovation, gravesite expansion, and water main repair. All 27 customer agencies named in the portfolio are subdivisions or components of the Department of Veterans Affairs; Povolny Group does not serve any other federal agency.

Povolny Group holds three large indefinite-delivery, multiple-award MATOCs serving as parent vehicles for ongoing task-order work. The VISN 19 Design Build MATOC (awarded June 1, 2024, $500 million ceiling, ultimate completion May 31, 2027) covers VA healthcare facilities across Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Oklahoma, and surrounding areas; to date Povolny Group has placed 10 task orders under this vehicle totaling $29.9 million in potential value. The VISN 22 Construction Services MATOC (awarded June 25, 2024, $600 million ceiling, ultimate completion June 24, 2029) covers facilities in Southern California, Arizona, and New Mexico; three delivery orders have been placed to date. The VISN 17 Central Texas Construction MATOC (awarded August 14, 2025, $500 million ceiling, ultimate completion February 3, 2031) was newly awarded and covers Central Texas, North Texas, South Texas, and Valley Coastal Bend regions; no task orders have been placed yet. Outside the large MATOCs, Povolny Group places work under the Construction MATOC for Iowa and Nebraska Western-Iowa Regions in VISN 23 (15 task orders, $23.6 million potential value), the VISN 18 Medical Center Construction MATOC 2016-2021 (12 task orders, $25.5 million potential value), and several smaller IDC vehicles.

Activity has grown unevenly. Awards in FY2022 totaled 10, increasing to 16 in FY2023, declining to 7 in FY2024 and remaining flat at 7 in FY2025, then rebounding to 10 in FY2026 (year-to-date as of September 22, 2026). Twelve awards with combined potential value of $44.3 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoicing across federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold shows growth from $27 million in FY2023 (14.3 FTEs) to $56.1 million in FY2024 (47.3 FTEs) and $64 million in FY2025 (72.4 FTEs). On SCI-reportable prime contracts, the company deployed 21.6 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid median hourly rates run around $451/hr across the contractor workforce, with rates spanning a wide range from a 10th percentile of $150.57/hr to a 90th percentile of $2,771.57/hr, reflecting a mix of general labor and specialized tradespeople on large-scale facility projects. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 17% of total contractor hours, with 45 named subcontractors engaged across the portfolio; Povolny Group self-performs the majority of delivery work and retains the prime role on every engagement.

The company's category concentration aligns tightly with its VA healthcare facility mission: commercial and institutional building construction dominates the portfolio at 93 awards, followed by plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors (22 awards), electrical contractors (8 awards), and heavy civil engineering (7 awards). By federal supply classification, maintenance of hospitals and infirmaries leads at 34 awards, with repair or alteration of hospitals at 27 awards and construction of hospitals at 19 awards. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $2.28 billion; combined dollars obligated total $369.9 million (16% of combined potential value), reflecting the indefinite-delivery vehicle structure, which carries ceilings but generates obligations only as task orders are placed and work is performed.
