V. Lopez JR. & Sons General Engineering Contractors, Inc.

V. Lopez JR. & Sons General Engineering Contractors, Inc., operating through its V.lopez JR And Sons Gen Eng Continc. Division, is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) certified prime contractor based in Santa Maria, California, that delivers specialized parts procurement, construction services, and facility engineering to the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and civilian agencies. The vendor competes predominantly under SDVOSB and Total Small Business set-asides, with 100% of recent awards held as prime contracts.

V. Lopez JR. & Sons operates across a fragmented but high-volume customer footprint dominated by Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (405 awards, $17.3 million combined potential value) and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (140 awards, $11.5 million), which together account for most of the award count but represent only a fraction of total potential value. The top customers by dollar magnitude differ substantially: the Department of the Interior National Park Service Pacific West Region anchors $45 million (primarily a single $45 million multiple-award MATOC for construction services awarded February 2026), the Department of the Navy Installations Command contributes $42.2 million across 33 awards, the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration provides $32.7 million across 27 awards, and Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 contributes $25.7 million across 5 awards. DLA Land and Maritime dominates award frequency but carries lower per-award value due to the vendor's extensive portfolio of small spare-parts and electrical-component delivery orders (cable assemblies, connectors, relays, windshield wiper blades, bearings, insulation blankets, and related aerospace components). Recent representative prime work includes a $12.569 million SDVOSB set-aside definitive contract with VA San Francisco for ICU renovation (September 2025, completing November 2026); a $15.837 million Total Small Business set-aside definitive contract with California Army National Guard for a 24,564 square foot Vehicle Maintenance Shop at Bakersfield (August 2025, completing March 2027); an $8.719 million SDVOSB set-aside for roads and sewer improvements at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery (October 2022, completing October 2025); and multiple smaller delivery orders for DLA aviation parts, construction work at Air Combat Command installations, and cemetery maintenance across the National Cemetery Administration's Pacific District MATOC.

The vendor holds five parent indefinite-delivery vehicles: a $45 million Sierra/Mojave MATOC (Total Small Business set-aside, National Park Service Pacific West Region, 2026–2031); a $6.125 million National Cemetery Administration multiple-award IDIQ for construction services (SDVOSB set-aside, December 2025–2030); a $2 million single-award DLA Aviation IDV for windshield wiper blades for UH-60 helicopters (SDVOSB set-aside, April 2024–2029); a $898 thousand DLA Aviation single-award IDV for cable assemblies and electrical components (SDVOSB set-aside, June 2022–2027); and a Basic Ordering Agreement with Air Mobility Command (no set-aside, February 2026–2031, zero ceiling). The top parent vehicle by task-order volume and value is an Indefinite Delivery Contract numbered N4019215D2900 with 40 task orders worth $18.1 million combined potential value, primarily DLA Land and Maritime delivery orders. Activity shows a declining trajectory: 26 awards in 2023, 15 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 6 in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting a shift toward larger definitive contracts and away from smaller spare-parts orders. Six awards with combined potential value of $43.7 million face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating material recompete exposure.

Service Contract Inventory data captures only a partial slice of federal service-contract activity above the $150,000 reporting threshold: SCI-reportable invoicing totaled $7.5 million in FY2024 (the sole year with reportable activity in the dataset), with 21.2 FTEs delivering service work. The vendor reported 13.5 FTEs in FY2024 across five prime and one subcontractor SCI record. Government-paid hourly rates on prime SCI contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $134.81/hr to a median of $240.27/hr and a 90th percentile of $335.11/hr, reflecting a mix of lower-skilled site labor and higher-skilled supervisory and engineering roles. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 15% of total contractor hours, and the vendor engaged 51 named subcontractors, indicating a moderate reliance on subs for specialized or supplemental labor. The vendor operates primarily as a prime contractor—663 of 665 awards (100%) are prime, with only 2 sub-awards recorded (both grant sub-awards from Department of Transportation grantees for ADA and pedestrian safety improvements, dated 2022–2023).

The awards span a 12-year history from September 2014 to March 2026, with combined potential value of $229.3 million and $111 million obligated (48%). The vendor serves 20 distinct customer agencies. By product and service category, the footprint concentrates in electronic component manufacturing (66 awards for relays, connectors, switches, cable assemblies, and control units), painting and wall covering (41 awards), commercial and institutional building construction (40 awards), and measuring/controlling device manufacturing and aircraft parts (33 awards each). Top procurement codes cluster around miscellaneous electrical power distribution equipment, hose and tube fittings, electrical connectors, switches, and relays—a legacy of the DLA Land and Maritime parts-procurement mission—alongside definitive construction contracts for facility renovation and infrastructure projects at VA medical centers, national cemeteries, and military installations.
