VSS International Inc.

VSS International Inc. Contracting Division, doing business as V S S, is a for-profit construction contractor based in West Sacramento, California, that delivers pavement preservation, asphalt resurfacing, and roadway maintenance services to the Federal Highway Administration as a prime contractor on multiple-award task order contracts. The vendor operates predominantly full-and-open, with no set-aside designations across its recent federal footprint.

VSS International's customer concentration is stark and decision-defining. The Federal Highway Administration accounts for 17 awards with $474.4 million combined potential value — representing 100% of the vendor's tracked potential-value exposure and 86% of its recent award count. The remaining six customer agencies (the Navy, Air Force, Army, and Air Force Space Command) carry minimal dollar weight. This concentration reflects VSS International's core business: it is a pre-selected prime contractor under the Federal Highway Administration's Western Region Pavement Preservation Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC), a $240 million, multiple-award IDIQ established November 1, 2023, running through October 31, 2028, under which up to ten contractors compete for task orders covering thirteen western states (Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Montana, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and California). VSS International holds one of the MATOC positions and has received four task orders under the vehicle totaling $23.3 million in combined potential value for projects spanning Mount Rainier (Washington), southern Utah and the Great Basin (Nevada), Oregon and southern Washington, and Colorado pavement preservation sites. Outside the MATOC, VSS International also holds positions on multiple Department of Defense and Department of the Navy IDIQs, though those vehicles have produced minimal recent task orders.

Concrete representative work includes a $11.6 million delivery order (February 2024) for pavement preservation in southern Utah and the Great Basin region covering crack sealing, patching, chip seal and micro surface treatments; a $7.7 million order (February 2025) for Mount Rainier West pavement preservation in Washington; a $2.3 million order (March 2026) for crack sealing, patching, micro surface treatments, and pavement marking in Oregon and southern Washington; and a $7.2 million order (January 2023) for pavement preservation in Colorado. Work is performed under firm fixed-price contracting across NAICS 237990 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and PSC R499 (Construction of Highways, Roads, Streets, Bridges, and Railways).

Activity has flatlined — two awards in each of 2024, 2025, and 2026 year-to-date — after three awards each in 2022 and 2023. Combined potential value across the 35-award footprint (33 prime, 2 sub) stands at $474.4 million, though only $82.9 million (17%) is obligated. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months ($2.3 million), indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. VSS International subcontracts under J G Contracting for slurry seal work at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. The vendor's federal work is exclusively western-regional infrastructure; defense and Navy exposure exists on the vehicle side but has not translated to recent task orders.
