Valiant Construction LLC

Valiant Construction LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, operates as a prime contractor delivering construction and facility renovation services to federal agencies, with 100 percent of recent awards issued as prime contracts. The company holds SBA certifications as both a Veteran-Owned Small Business and a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business through May 25, 2027, and competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides on definitive contracts and delivery orders, though some full-and-open task orders flow from multi-award IDIQs where Valiant holds a competitive position.

Valiant's capability footprint centers on commercial and institutional building construction (193 of 254 awards) under NAICS 236220, with deep specialization in VA medical facility renovation, infrastructure upgrades, and new healthcare facility construction across the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and South-Central regions. Representative work includes a $39 million EHRM infrastructure upgrades construction contract at the VA Northern Indiana Health Care System (awarded September 2022, with FY2024 government invoicing of 44.2 FTEs at a derived rate of $188.56/hr across prime and sub labor); a $23.9 million design-build generator campus installation at the W.G. Hefner VA Medical Center in Salisbury, North Carolina (May 2026, SDVOSB set-aside, completion July 2027); and a $17.6 million NFS kitchen upgrade delivery order at the VA Martinsburg facility in West Virginia (September 2024, issued under the VISN 5 $300 million MATOC, completion April 2026). Smaller scope includes a $696,229 Murfreesboro Consolidated Mail-Out Pharmacy manual area renovation (April 2026, SDVOSB set-aside), and a $3.49 million bronchoscopy procedure room renovation at James H. Quillen VAMC in Johnson City, Tennessee (August 2025).

Customer concentration is pronounced and tilted toward the Veterans Health Administration. The top five customers by award count account for 79 percent of the vendor's award population, with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 anchoring the portfolio at 124 awards and $240.2 million combined potential value. The ranking by potential value reveals significant mega-contract exposure that is not captured in transaction count: the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville drives $1.3 billion in combined potential value across only two awards (the $1.3 billion Medical Repair and Renewal VII design-build IDIQ), the Defense Health Agency sits at $348 million across three awards (including a $249 million central-region design-build MATOC and a $99 million southern-region design-build IDIQ), and the VA VISN 5 network accounts for $327.6 million across five awards (anchored by a $300 million MATOC). Together these three mega-contracts represent over $1.98 billion in ceiling value and dominate Valiant's long-tail recompete exposure. The National Cemetery Administration, serving as both high-count customer (20 awards) and meaningful-value customer ($122.7 million potential), provides diversification across four separate 10-year $49 million SDVOSB-set-aside IDIQs (Continental District, Southeast District, North Atlantic District, and a legacy North Atlantic District award with a $3.3 million ceiling) plus several smaller definitive contracts for specific projects.

Valiant holds a portfolio of large mother IDIQs and MATOCs that serve as both vehicle seats and primary sourcing pathways. The vendor's largest vehicles by ceiling are the $1.3 billion Medical Repair and Renewal VII IDIQ (Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville, multiple award, no set-aside, completion January 2032), the $300 million VA VISN 5 Multiple Award Task Order Contract for construction services in Maryland, West Virginia, and Washington D.C. (set-aside SDVOSB, 100 percent, February 2023 award, completion February 2028), the $249 million Design-Build MATOC in support of DHA programs across the central region (Defense Health Agency, no set-aside, September 2024 award, completion September 2029), the $250 million Pittsburgh-Butler-Erie Construction MATOC for VA VISN 4 (July 2025 award, Total Small Business set-aside, completion July 2030), and the $99 million Omaha District FSRM MATOC awarded February 2026 (Army Corps of Engineers, SDVOSB set-aside, completion February 2031). Valiant also holds four $49 million National Cemetery Administration IDIQs (Continental District, Southeast District, North Atlantic District, and a legacy pool vehicle), a $99 million Charleston District Design-Bid-Build MATOC (Army Corps of Engineers, SDVOSB set-aside, September 2023 award, completion January 2029), a $99 million Kansas City District SDVOSB MATOC (Army Corps of Engineers, September 2023 award, completion September 2028), a $50 million GSA Region 5 Repair and Alterations IDIQ (Total Small Business set-aside, September 2024 award, completion November 2026), and a $40 million VA VISN 9 Memphis VA Medical Center MATOC (SDVOSB set-aside, August 2021, completion August 2026 — now expired or nearing expiration). This vehicle position reflects a company strategically positioned on federal construction vehicles covering medical facilities, design-build services, and SDVOSB procurement streams across the Department of Veterans Affairs, Defense Health Agency, Army Corps of Engineers, General Services Administration, and Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.

Activity has grown unevenly but markedly over the measurement window, from five awards in 2022 to fifteen in 2025, with six awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all 254 awards in the source stands at $3.48 billion, against $439.1 million obligated to date (13 percent burn rate, typical for long-tail IDIQs with multi-year performance periods). Seven awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $32.8 million and represent near-term recompete exposure; the larger recompete cliff sits with the mega-IDIQs themselves, many of which are between three and five years into their base periods and will face renewal or successor solicitation in 2027–2029.

Valiant operates primarily as a prime builder rather than a subcontractor. On SCI-reportable federal service contracts, the vendor's average subcontractor-hours share across prime contracts ran at 28 percent, with 31 named subcontractors reported across the SCI contract population. SCI invoiced revenue was $44.7 million in FY2023 and $45.9 million in FY2024, with FY2023 reporting 742 FTEs at the contract level and FY2024 showing 12.4 FTEs — the latter figure likely reflects a late-year reporting artifact or contract-level aggregation rather than total workforce scale. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts ranged from $147.37 per hour (10th percentile) to $1,711.29 per hour (90th percentile), with a median of $646.85 per hour, reflecting a labor mix spanning equipment operators, project managers, and specialized trades. Note that SCI is a strict subset of Valiant's federal service contracting; the vendor's total federal revenue includes significant fixed-price construction definitive contracts and equipment procurement not captured in the SCI dataset. The company also engages subcontractors across prime work, averaging roughly 28 percent sub-hours on reportable service contracts, though detailed sub relationships are not itemized in the source awards beyond disclosure of sub-hours share.

Valiant Construction's footprint is almost entirely dependent on federal construction demand, with customer concentration in the VA system and Army Corps of Engineers. The vendor's competitive posture is anchored to SDVOSB set-asides and the company's seat positions on large mother IDIQs that serve as the primary sourcing vehicles for both the VA and the Army Corps of Engineers. Recompete risk centers on the four $49 million NCA IDIQs (all in early-to-mid innings), the Pittsburgh-Butler-Erie $250 million MATOC (early innings), and the mega-vehicles anchoring the Defense Health Agency and Army Corps relationships, all of which will face renewal or succession in the 2027–2030 window. The vendor's reliance on SDVOSB set-asides for higher-dollar definitive work, combined with concentration in VA and NCA customers, creates both a competitive moat (limited head-to-head full-and-open exposure) and a strategic dependency on sustained federal healthcare and cemetery infrastructure spending.
