Virginia Energy And Lighting, LLC

Virginia Energy And Lighting, LLC, a Chesterfield, Virginia-based service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and SBA 8(a) certified firm, supplies electrical equipment, power infrastructure components, and maintenance services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on federal supply schedules, government-wide acquisition contracts, and direct purchase orders. The vendor holds SBA certifications expiring March 13, 2028, as both a SDVOSB and veteran-owned small business, and carries additional designations as a minority-owned and Native American-owned enterprise. Virginia Energy And Lighting competes in both set-aside and full-and-open procurements, with recent awards split between 8(a) sole-source, competitive 8(a), total small business set-asides, and unrestricted competitions.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on critical power infrastructure: uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, diesel generators, switchgear, electrical distribution equipment, HVAC systems, batteries, surge protectors, and related maintenance and repair services. Representative work includes a $7.9 million competitive 8(a) contract with the Defense Information Systems Agency (awarded July 2021) to upgrade computer room air conditioning units at the DISA Core Data Center in Yokota, Japan; a $948,951 8(a) sole-source purchase order from the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (awarded April 2023) for quarterly inspection and upgrade services through September 2028 at Portsmouth, Virginia; a $789,670 8(a) sole-source contract from the Coast Guard (awarded September 2021) for UPS replacement and installation at Alameda, California; a $437,965 total small business set-aside definitive contract from the Department of the Army (awarded March 2026) for semi-annual preventive maintenance and emergency repair of six Caterpillar diesel standby generators at the Radford Army Ammunition Plant; and a $523,951 SDVOSB set-aside purchase order from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (awarded February 2023, exercised option year three) for UPS preventative and corrective maintenance at Chincoteague, Virginia through February 2028.

Customer concentration across the vendor's 830 awards reflects a bifurcated portfolio split between Defense Logistics Agency transactional ordering and deeper engagements with infrastructure and mission-support agencies. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates award count at 519 awards (combined potential value $1.6 million), followed by DLA Troop Support Hardware (138 awards, $135 thousand) and DLA Aviation (58 awards, $111 thousand), accounting for approximately 76% of awards by count but only 3.5% of combined potential value. By dollar magnitude, the GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors the portfolio with $50 billion combined potential value across two awards (the 8(a) STARS III GWAC and the Federal Supply Schedule vehicle). The Defense Information Systems Agency ranks second by potential value at $12.2 million across seven awards. The Department of the Army appears in two ranking slots: the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Enterprise Information Systems (7 awards, $2.6 million) and the Installation Management Command Northeast Region (16 awards, $2.2 million). The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 carries 17 awards totaling $1.4 million and represents the largest single VA customer, though the vendor serves multiple other VISN facilities across the VA network.

Virginia Energy And Lighting holds two primary vehicle positions. The 8(a) STARS III Government-Wide Acquisition Contract, awarded February 23, 2022, carries a $50 billion ceiling (multiple-award, set-aside for 8(a) firms) and runs through July 1, 2026, permitting the vendor to compete for task orders government-wide in information technology and IT-based infrastructure solutions. The GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (47QSMS25D004U), awarded February 18, 2025, covers two Special Item Numbers: Power Distribution Equipment and Solar Energy Solutions (SIN 335999) and Batteries (SIN 335911), carries a $475,000 ceiling, and runs through February 17, 2030. The Schedule operates as a multiple-award vehicle with individual order limits of $250,000 and supports delivery of power distribution equipment, energy infrastructure solutions, and battery products to federal agencies through GSA Advantage!, with sourcing that includes domestic and international suppliers (Great Britain, Mexico, Taiwan).

Recent activity shows modest ordering volume in 2025 and 2026 after higher activity in 2022–2023. The source lists 3 awards in 2026, 7 in 2025, 5 in 2024, 12 in 2023, and 2 in 2022. Across the next twenty-four months, three awards with combined potential value of $881 thousand face ultimate completion dates and recompete exposure. The vendor's award portfolio structure is heavily dominated by GSA infrastructure — the $50 billion STARS III ceiling inflates combined potential value to $50.03 billion, but obligated dollars across all awards total only $27.4 million, reflecting the distinction between indefinite delivery vehicle ceilings and actual spend. Outside the two GSA vehicles, the vendor's transactional federal work with DLA and direct purchases from Army, Navy, VA, and civilian agencies reflects an installed base of maintenance and supply relationships rather than high-volume pipeline.

SCI-reported activity is minimal: the dataset captures only $790 thousand in invoiced revenue in FY2022 (1.0 FTE) and zero invoiced revenue in FY2023 and FY2024, suggesting that most of Virginia Energy And Lighting's federal service contracts either fall below the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold or are structured as goods procurements rather than service contracts. The single SCI record showed a median government-paid hourly rate of approximately $379.65 per hour. The vendor operates as a prime on all recorded sub awards; four sub-award relationships from the source (Lion Heart Electric Corp., International Towers LLC on two separate DLA Richmond Warehouse charger-installation tasks) indicate Virginia Energy And Lighting supplies electrical equipment and components to larger primes rather than functioning as a systems integrator or full-service subcontractor. The vendor's footprint is predominantly prime-based (100% of awards in the portfolio are prime contracts and IDVs), with sub-award participation limited to equipment supply arrangements.
