W.g. Yates & Sons Construction Company

W.G. Yates & Sons Construction Company, a for-profit commercial and institutional builder based in Philadelphia, Mississippi, executes design-build and design-bid-build vertical construction for military facilities, federal courthouses, and critical infrastructure as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) operating under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. The company holds a $2.36 billion Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fort Worth District running through March 2029 and actively places task orders against five named IDCs across USACE and Navy programs.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily weighted to USACE districts and the Department of Homeland Security. The top five funding entities by potential value account for 82% of combined award dollars, led by USACE Fort Worth District (8 awards, $2.41 billion combined potential value) followed by Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection (4 awards, $601 million), USACE Mobile District (4 awards, $572.1 million), GSA Public Buildings Service Region 4 (7 awards, $490.2 million), and the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (2 awards, $222.7 million). USACE Fort Worth dominates both volume and dollars and anchors the vendor's largest vehicle position. Recent representative work includes a $53.4 million firm fixed-price delivery order issued December 18, 2025, for vehicle maintenance shop operations and services at Fort Hood under the Fort Worth District MATOC with ultimate completion February 6, 2028; a $148.8 million definitive contract awarded April 15, 2024, for the Powertrain Phase IV Engine Assembly Facility at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi involving design-build services for aircraft component repair infrastructure; and GSA Region 4 stipend awards totaling $250,000 and $75,000 for unsuccessful proposal submissions on the Fort Lauderdale Federal Courthouse and Huntsville Federal Courthouse projects respectively.

W.G. Yates & Sons' award portfolio spans 114 total prime and sub awards with combined potential value of $5.25 billion and combined obligated value of $1.64 billion (31% of potential). Activity has been cyclical across the past five years (one to three awards annually in 2020–2022 and 2024–2025) with a single recent award in 2025. Two awards (combined potential value $202.2 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. The vendor's capability portfolio concentrates on commercial and institutional building construction (73 awards) and other heavy and civil engineering construction (10 awards), with secondary focus on industrial building construction and residential remodeling. Named PSC categories include construction of miscellaneous buildings, office buildings, troop housing, and non-building facilities. The vendor operates two subsidiaries: Superior Asphalt, Inc., a goods manufacturer, and Yates-Bird LLC, a limited liability company. W.G. Yates & Sons registered in SAM.gov in February 2002 and has executed contracts with 29 distinct federal agencies since 1985, demonstrating sustained capacity in large-scale military and federal infrastructure projects across the southwestern United States and overseas (including a pre-design construction planning subcontract with AECOM for embassy compound redevelopment in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, awarded April 26, 2022).
