Veterans Contracting, Inc.

Veterans Contracting, Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, is a construction and facilities-maintenance contractor that operates exclusively as a prime contractor on federal infrastructure projects, delivering commercial building construction, renovation, HVAC and plumbing work, and medical gas testing services to the Department of Veterans Affairs and other federal agencies under SDVOSB set-asides. The company maintains a wholly owned subsidiary, Vcidj LLC, also SDVOSB-certified.

Veterans Contracting's customer footprint is heavily concentrated in VA infrastructure. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 accounts for 83 awards (93% of total award count) valued at $159.5 million combined potential value — representing dominance across VA medical centers in Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Chillicothe, Ohio, and at Fort Thomas Domiciliary in Kentucky. A single contract with VA's Office of Construction and Facilities Management carries $29.4 million in potential value, and the VA Technology Acquisition Center issued a $16.6 million emergency department renovation contract to the Cleveland VA Medical Center in 2021. Outside VA, Veterans Contracting holds eight GSA Public Buildings Service Region 5 awards ($16.9 million combined value), one NASA Glenn Research Center contract ($5.9 million), and minor activity with the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, and the VA National Cemetery Administration.

Work is concentrated in two construction NAICS categories: Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (65 awards) and Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contracting (13 awards), with the largest individual projects including a $50.78 million Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) infrastructure contract at Chillicothe VA (awarded April 2024, completion July 2026), a $16.6 million emergency department renovation and expansion at Cleveland VA Medical Center, and a $12.2 million boiler replacement at Fort Thomas Domiciliary awarded in April 2025. Representative recent work spans Building 26 mental health renovation ($3.7 million, awarded June 2026 with completion May 2027), primary care department renovation at Chillicothe VA ($10.7 million, November 2025, completion May 2028), temperature and humidity controls for sterile processing services ($705 thousand, October 2024), and medical gas testing and certification services ($133.5 thousand, five-year contract running through March 2029) at Cleveland VA Medical Center.

Veterans Contracting operates under GSA Indefinite Delivery Contract GS05P15SLD0053, from which it has placed 17 task orders ($2.3 million combined value). The vendor competes on every award in this footprint under SDVOSB set-aside designation, with SDVOSB requirements typically obligating 85 percent of construction work to be performed in-house; this in-house performance mandate is characteristic across the award portfolio.

Activity has been uneven over the past five years. After one award in 2022 and four in 2023, Veterans Contracting secured eight awards in 2024; in 2025 and 2026 combined, the pipeline shows only five awards. Looking forward, five awards with combined potential value of $77.6 million carry ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months, representing significant recompete exposure — including the $50.78 million EHRM contract (July 2026), the $10.7 million primary care renovation (May 2028, beyond the window), and the $3.7 million Building 26 mental health project (May 2027).

SCI-reportable federal service-contract invoicing totaled $41.1 million across FY2023 and FY2024 (SCI covers contracts above the $150,000 threshold). In FY2023, Veterans Contracting invoiced $23.2 million across 24.7 FTEs; in FY2024, invoicing declined to $17.9 million across 21.1 FTEs. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid hourly rates show a median of $408.89/hr, with the 10th percentile at $236.43/hr and the 90th percentile at $2,804.60/hr — a wide spectrum reflecting the mix of skilled trades labor and professional project management. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 31 percent of total contractor hours, with 22 named subcontractors appearing in the dataset — indicating a moderate reliance on subs for specialized trades work while maintaining core in-house construction capacity.
