Veteran Design & Construction Inc.

Veteran Design & Construction Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in Catonsville, Maryland, delivers architectural, engineering, and construction services to federal healthcare and research facilities as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) across a portfolio anchored by three major indefinite-delivery vehicles. The company is structured as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation, self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and veteran-owned, and competes predominantly under service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-asides when available, though also pursues full-and-open delivery orders from the same customer agencies.

Customer concentration is sharply bifurcated between two agencies accounting for 99% of combined potential value. The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Construction leads on dollars (25 awards, $803 million combined potential value) while the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 leads on volume (44 awards, $783.1 million combined potential value). The remaining 6% spans the Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology, VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin, and VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management. NIH work emphasizes architectural and engineering design services; VA VISN 5 work emphasizes construction delivery. The company also holds relationships with VA Headquarters, though one award ($13.6 million) does not appear to have resulted in recent task orders.

Veteran Design & Construction holds three primary IDIQ vehicles representing a combined potential value ceiling of $735 million. The NIH Architect Engineering MATOC ($400 million ceiling through June 23, 2032, awarded June 24, 2026) has generated 21 task orders worth $2.9 million in combined value to date, spanning HVAC feasibility studies, sprinkler design, utility plant replacement, and medical gas system design work at NIH Bethesda. The VA VISN 5 Multiple Award Task Order Contract for Construction 2022-2028 ($300 million ceiling through February 21, 2028, awarded February 22, 2023) has generated 6 task orders worth $26.7 million, covering switchgear replacement ($13.8 million, completion June 30, 2028), electrical vault expansion ($6.81 million, completion April 28, 2026), bulk oxygen system upgrade ($4.09 million, completion June 11, 2026), and gas line meter house replacement ($1.9 million, completion June 30, 2025). A third vehicle—VA VISN 5 MATOC II ($35 million ceiling through April 27, 2030, awarded April 28, 2025)—focuses on plumbing and utility system work, with a recent $997,716.25 delivery order for cross-connection identification and replacement at Baltimore VA Medical Center.

Representative prime work beyond the major vehicles includes a $17.2 million SDVOSB definitive contract (awarded December 27, 2021, completion July 8, 2025) with VA VISN 5 for comprehensive renovation of Buildings 3A and 3B at the VA Medical Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia; multiple smaller design-build and engineering assignments at NIST Gaithersburg (five awards totaling $9.9 million, spanning transfer switch replacement, sediment tank construction, and floor trench cover work); and a series of facility renovation and infrastructure upgrades at NIH Bethesda. Recent awards (September 2026) include an $88,275.25 delivery order for heating system work at NIH Building 29B and a $67,479.80 order for air compressor design at NIH Kensington, with both scheduled for completion in early 2027.

Activity volume fluctuated year over year—seven awards in 2022, fifteen in 2023, five each in 2024 and 2025, and six through September 2026—reflecting the lumpy nature of task-order issuance under the two large VA and NIH vehicles. Nine awards carrying combined potential value of $21 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing moderate recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoiced revenue from federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $61.6 million across FY2022–FY2025 ($9.1 million in FY2022, $20.9 million in FY2023, $22.3 million in FY2024, and $9.3 million in FY2025), with the FY2025 figure tracking only through partial-year data collection. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Veteran Design & Construction delivered 15.3 FTEs in FY2025 (up from 7.4 FTEs in FY2022), reflecting modest workforce scale-up aligned with the expansion of task-order volume. Government-paid hourly rates on federal service contracts median around $238.72 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $619.74 per hour at the 90th percentile and floor rates near $10.56 per hour at the 10th percentile.

On SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor engages subcontractors for approximately 24% of total contractor hours across an average of 58 named subs per fiscal year, indicating a hybrid delivery model where Veteran Design & Construction self-performs core design and project management while outsourcing specialized trades. The vendor subcontracts as a minor presence in the award portfolio (2% of recent awards): two recent sub-awards include mechanical and electrical engineering services to support fume hood exhaust modification at NIH (May 14, 2026, prime contractor not named) and architectural and engineering services for a pizza oven fan system replacement at NIH Building 10 (July 23, 2026, under prime Olgoonik General LLC).
