Veteran Elevator Inspection Services, LLC

Veteran Elevator Inspection Services, LLC is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) based in Clayton, North Carolina, that provides elevator, escalator, and vertical transportation inspection and certification services to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively — all fourteen recent awards are prime positions, with zero subcontract activity. The firm is 100 percent veteran-owned, Hispanic American-owned, and a for-profit limited liability company competing under SDVOSB set-asides across the majority of its footprint, with one full-and-open award to the Department of Energy.

Veteran Elevator Inspection Services specializes in semi-annual and annual elevator inspections, five-year load testing, Category 1 and Category 5 safety certifications, and escalator inspections at federal facilities in compliance with ASME A17.1 through A17.5, A18.1, ANSI, OSHA, and NFPA Life Safety Code standards. Representative work includes a $98,455 purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 (awarded June 1, 2026) covering comprehensive annual and semi-annual inspections and load tests on approximately 50 passenger, freight, hydraulic, and wheelchair elevators at Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System through May 31, 2031; a $120,100 full-and-open definitive contract from the Department of Energy Office of Management (September 26, 2025) for elevator and escalator inspections at DOE headquarters facilities in Washington, DC (FORS and GTN sites) through September 30, 2030; and a $96,970 SDVOSB purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (September 30, 2025) for annual and semi-annual inspections and five-year load testing at Long Beach VA Healthcare System through September 29, 2026. All work is performed by QEI-1 and NAESA-certified inspectors delivering firm-fixed-price service.

Customer concentration is heavily concentrated within the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration. Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (VA San Diego, Long Beach, and Loma Linda) leads both award count and potential value with three awards worth $209 thousand; Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 (Central Arkansas and Gulf Coast facilities) and Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (Fort Harrison and Sheridan, Montana/Wyoming) each hold two to three awards totaling $131 to $192 thousand. These five VA facilities account for 71 percent of recent awards by count and 88 percent of combined potential value. The Department of Energy Office of Management ($120,100) and the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region ($64 thousand) round out the top-five customer base. Veteran Elevator Inspection Services holds a single-award IDIQ with Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (ceiling $30,130, awarded September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031) and has issued one $7,010 delivery order against it as of the source date.

Activity is early-stage and recent: six awards in 2025, eight in 2026, with combined potential value across all fourteen prime awards totaling $813 thousand and combined dollars obligated at $195 thousand (24 percent of ceiling). Only two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months ($16 thousand combined potential value), limiting near-term recompete exposure. The firm does not hold positions on government-wide IDIQs, GWACs, or schedule vehicles; all work originates from direct agency purchase orders and solicitations under SDVOSB set-asides or full-and-open competition. NAICS coding spans building inspection services (6 awards), other building equipment contractors (3 awards), and machinery repair and maintenance (3 awards), with PSC concentration in mechanical power transmission and materials handling equipment inspection.
