Vali Cooper International LLC

Vali Cooper International LLC, doing business as VCI, operates as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and Veteran-Owned Small Business providing architect-engineering, construction management, and project management services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 98 percent of recent awards. Headquartered in Covington, Louisiana, VCI is a limited liability company certified by the SBA as both SDVOSB and VOSB through August 27, 2026, and competes predominantly under set-aside vehicles—approximately 65 percent of prime awards carry SDVOSB or Total Small Business designations. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on Title I, II, and III architect-engineering services; construction management and inspection; facilities assessment; and technical consulting, with particular depth in cemetery infrastructure, VA medical-center renovations, Strategic Petroleum Reserve facility modifications, and facilities modernization across multiple federal agencies.

VCI's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Veterans Affairs ecosystem. The top five funding agencies account for 71 percent of awards: the VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin anchors the dollar ranking with 9 awards and $648.2 million in combined potential value, followed by the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville (5 awards, $350.4 million), VA National Cemetery Administration (103 awards, $332.7 million), VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management (62 awards, $150.3 million), and the Department of Energy Office of Cyber Security (54 awards, $81.9 million). The twin concentration signals—VA dominates both award count and dollar value, while DoE's cyber security office delivers high-dollar task orders for Strategic Petroleum Reserve work—reflect VCI's strategic positioning within VA construction and facilities programs alongside a specialized role supporting critical energy infrastructure. Recent representative work includes a $3.6 million delivery order from VA Technology Acquisition Center for project management and construction management support on VISN 6 and VISN 16 recapitalization projects (Richmond and Little Rock VAMCs, awarded September 2026); a $1.02 million Total Small Business set-aside delivery order from the Department of Energy for architect-engineering services on crude oil injection pump replacement at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (awarded August 2026); a $1.7 million delivery order from VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 for construction management supporting Electronic Health Record Modernization (awarded April 2026); and a $15 million delivery order from VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management for construction management services supporting the Dallas Long-Term Services and Care Initiative (awarded May 2024).

VCI operates multiple significant indefinite-delivery vehicles that anchor its competitive position. The vendor holds a $631 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the VA Technology Acquisition Center under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for construction management and project management services, awarded August 2026 and expiring August 2031. The Department of Energy Office of Cyber Security awarded a $30 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract for architect-engineering services supporting the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, through December 2030. The VA National Cemetery Administration awarded three separate $50 million multiple-award IDIQs (Continental, Midwest, and Pacific districts) for architect and engineering services, all expiring June 2027. The VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management holds a $50 million multiple-award construction management IDIQ through March 2027. The Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District awarded a $240 million multiple-award Non-AE Construction Management Services contract through May 2029. VCI also positions itself on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for task orders across multiple federal agencies, with 165 MAS task orders generating $789.4 million in combined potential value. Recent task-order activity under these vehicles reflects sustained federal demand: ten delivery orders valued at approximately $6.1 million were issued under the Department of Energy IDIQ between January and August 2026 for crude oil system work, brine upgrades, firewater systems, and arc flash studies.

Activity has remained stable across the past five years. The vendor received 42 awards in 2022, 48 in 2023, 44 in 2024, 28 in 2025, and 27 through September 2026. Forty-four awards with combined potential value of $64.5 million are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing material recompete exposure. VCI operates almost entirely as a prime contractor—434 of 442 recent awards (98 percent) are primes, with only 8 subcontract relationships (2 percent). When subcontracting, VCI delivers work to CDM Stanley A Joint Venture and CDM Federal Programs Corporation on Army Corps consulting and design assignments. Across SCI-reportable service contracts (a subset of VCI's federal work covering orders above $150,000), VCI self-performs the vast majority of labor; subcontractors accounted for an average of 12 percent of contractor hours, with 112 named subcontractors engaged across the prime portfolio—indicating selective use of specialized subs rather than a sub-dependent delivery model.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $56.8 million across fiscal years 2022 through 2025, representing a narrow slice of the vendor's total federal services activity and a smaller fraction of enterprise revenue. Annual SCI-reported invoicing grew from $12.5 million in FY2022 (47.6 FTEs) to $15.3 million in FY2025 (50.4 FTEs), with FY2023 and FY2024 in the $14.4 to $14.6 million range. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable labor ranged from a 10th percentile of $69.19 per hour to a median of $142.25 per hour to a 90th percentile of $245.01 per hour, reflecting a mix of entry-level support, mid-career engineers, senior project managers, and executive consultants. VCI's active GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 15 categories, from Administrative Assistant at $72.03 per hour through Executive Consultant at $369.14 per hour; no security-cleared positions are offered. The vendor does not report classified work or non-federal revenue within the SCI dataset, and actual federal revenue and workforce scale are substantially larger than these SCI figures reflect.
