Tunheim Construction, LLC

Tunheim Construction, LLC, a Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Fargo, North Dakota, operates exclusively as a prime contractor on federal construction and facility maintenance projects, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides across 64 awards with combined potential value of $155.8 million. The company is a limited liability company with minority-owned and self-certified SDB designations; recent activity shows consistent presence across federal construction vehicles from 2022 through 2026.

Tunheim's capability portfolio centers on civil works, facility repairs, and interior and exterior renovation services. Recent representative work includes a $6.6 million design-build delivery order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for repairs to the Coralville Lake Ranger Building and administrative facilities in Iowa City, Iowa (awarded May 2024, completion May 2026); a $730,213 definitive contract from Army Corps of Engineers St. Paul District for site preparation and historic farmhouse relocation as part of the Fargo-Moorhead Metro Flood Risk Management Project (awarded June 2026); a $895,269 delivery order for restoration of the English Coulee Diversion Channel at the Grand Forks Project following 2023 high-water damage (awarded August 2025); and a $113,510 USDA wetland restoration contract for drop inlet structure replacement and outlet pipe lining at the LeJuene Wetland Reserve Program in Minnesota (awarded September 2026). Work spans concrete replacement, levee and riverbank restoration, painting, roadway and drainage repairs, HVAC services, electrical and plumbing work, and fire systems installation across the Midwest and Oklahoma.

Customer concentration divides between a high-volume, lower-dollar Air Force relationship and two larger infrastructure customers. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex accounts for 35 awards but only $8.7 million combined potential value—a pattern of frequent small delivery orders for painting, wall covering removal, and facility maintenance. By potential-value ranking, the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 5 leads with 3 awards at $85.5 million combined value, driven by a $50 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract for repair and alterations services across a six-state region (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin) awarded September 2024 through November 2026. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers anchors $57.2 million across 6 awards, including a $50 million single-award indefinite delivery contract for civil works and facility construction in the St. Paul and Rock Island Districts running through December 2027. Together, these two federal vehicles represent $92.7 million of the $155.8 million combined potential value.

Tunheim holds two primary indefinite delivery vehicles: a $50 million single-award IDC with Army Corps of Engineers St. Paul and Rock Island Districts (awarded December 2022, through December 2027, NAICS 237990, specialty trade contractors) under which six task orders have been issued totaling $8.1 million combined potential value; and a $50 million multiple-award IDC with GSA Region 5 (awarded September 2024, through November 2026, NAICS 236220, commercial and institutional building construction) supporting repair and alterations across the six-state Midwest footprint. A third vehicle, an Air Force indefinite delivery contract (FA810119D0001), carries 39 task orders valued at $4.2 million combined potential value, reflecting the high-frequency, low-dollar Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex maintenance pattern. The award portfolio shows skew toward maintenance and alteration work: 37 awards fall under PSC code for maintenance of office buildings, 7 under repair or alteration of office buildings, and 7 under construction of other non-building facilities.

Activity has contracted sharply in recent years—seven awards in 2022, two in 2023, five in 2024, two in 2025, and three in 2026—with only three awards (combined potential value $844 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing minimal near-term recompete cliff. The company operates no subcontractor relationships in the source data and maintains no presence on Service Contract Inventory (SCI) reporting above the $150,000 threshold, indicating either a goods-and-products-heavy portfolio, sub-million service contract work, or delivery through non-service-contract vehicles. Tunheim competes exclusively under total small business set-asides on the two largest vehicles and across 48 of 64 awards under NAICS 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), positioning it as a cost-competitive regional construction prime tightly aligned with GSA and Army Corps of Engineers construction modernization priorities in the Upper Midwest and defense-industrial footprint.
