James F Thomson JR

James F Thomson JR, doing business as American Southwest Electric, is a Las Vegas-based sole proprietorship specializing in electrical infrastructure and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) installation for federal facilities as a prime contractor under total small business and HUBZone set-asides. The vendor holds SBA certifications as a small disadvantaged business and HUBZone-certified firm, and competes exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards), with no subcontractor role in the federal footprint.

American Southwest Electric's capability portfolio centers on EVSE design and installation, electrical system repair and replacement, infrastructure modernization, and facility maintenance across federal buildings and water resource management sites. Representative work includes a $4.82 million delivery order from the Department of the Air Force (October 2023) for EVSE installation at Hurlburt Field, Florida; a $1.01 million delivery order from the Bureau of Reclamation (September 2025) for electrical system repair, backup generator installation, and CRAC unit replacement at the Admin Bunker Data Center in Boulder City, Nevada; and a $862,743 delivery order from the Bureau of Reclamation (September 2026) for Davis Dam sewer evaporation pond relining in Bullhead City, Arizona. The vendor also holds two GSA Public Buildings Service IDIQ contracts totaling $1 billion in combined ceiling ($500 million each for Geographic Zones B and D) for nationwide EVSE installations under total small business set-asides, awarded November 1, 2022 with completion dates of October 31, 2026. A $250 million Department of the Interior Great American Outdoors Act MATOC (awarded January 1, 2022, extended to June 30, 2027) supports alteration and repair construction services across the continental United States and Hawaii.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed to GSA's Public Buildings Service and the Department of the Interior. The top five customers by potential value represent 100% of combined potential value, led by GSA Public Buildings Service Region 10 ($1 billion across two IDIQ awards), GSA Public Buildings Service Region 8 ($252.8 million), and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters ($250 million). By award count, the Bureau of Reclamation anchors activity with seven awards valued at $5.8 million combined, while GSA Region 10 and Region 7 each hold two awards. The vendor has worked with 17 distinct customer agencies across recent awards, including the Department of the Air Force, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Federal Highway Administration, and Department of Justice.

Task-order activity flows primarily through the General Construction with Design/Build Capabilities EVSE vehicle (8 task orders, $5.3 million combined potential value) and the Great American Outdoors Act MATOC (7 task orders, $2.9 million combined potential value). Award frequency has remained flat to modest over the past five years, averaging three to five awards per fiscal year (2022–2026), with five awards facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and carrying $5 million in combined potential value. SCI-reported invoiced revenue across prime contracts totaled $5.2 million from FY2022 through FY2025, with FY2025 reaching $2 million. The vendor self-performs all work with zero subcontractor hours reported across SCI prime records, and government-paid hourly rates on federal service contracts (SCI basis) range from approximately $531/hr at the 10th percentile to $1,068/hr at the 90th percentile, with a median rate of $554/hr. Work is performed nationwide at federal facilities, with recent concentration in Nevada, Arizona, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Florida.
