Wadsworth Builders Co Inc.

Wadsworth Builders Co Inc., doing business as Wadsworth Plumbing & Heating, is a woman-owned small business based in Great Falls, Montana, that delivers mechanical, electrical, and structural construction, maintenance, and repair services to the U.S. Air Force as a prime contractor exclusively — no subcontract work in the portfolio. The vendor operates predominantly under small-business set-asides; Total Small Business designations recur across the footprint, though many task orders carry no set-aside notation despite the vendor's WOSB status and the small-business-set-aside posture of the parent vehicles.

Wadsworth's federal customer concentration is nearly total with Air Force commands. The Department of the Air Force accounts for 51 awards across the visible portfolio, led decisively by Air Force Global Strike Command (46 awards, $141.7 million combined potential value), followed by the Air National Guard (29 awards, $24.7 million), and Air Force Space Command (13 awards, $12.3 million). These three commands represent 88 of 93 awards (93% coverage) by the source's count. The vendor has served ten agencies overall, including a small presence with the Department of the Army, Department of the Interior, and others, but Air Force work dominates both award count and dollar value.

Wadsworth's primary vehicle position is the Malmstrom Air Force Base Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC), a $90 million small-business-set-aside IDIQ on which the vendor holds 28 task orders carrying $31.7 million in combined potential value. The MATOC serves as the contracting mechanism for most of Wadsworth's visible work at Malmstrom AFB — repair and maintenance of heating, cooling, electrical, water, fire protection, and structural systems supporting intercontinental ballistic missile and helicopter operations. Beyond MATOC, Wadsworth holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (FA462624D0012) valued at $9,999,999.98, awarded by Air Force Global Strike Command in August 2024, for construction, maintenance, and repair of the High Temperature Hot Water (HTHW) system at Malmstrom through August 2029. Task orders under this IDC include a $1.55 million contract for HTHW system construction and maintenance (awarded October 2025, completion October 2026) and a $599,331 order for HTHW sump pump work (awarded September 2024, completion December 2025). Wadsworth also holds three additional indefinite-delivery contracts (W9124V07D0003, W9124V12D0009, and F2460401D0007) with 12, 12, and 7 task orders respectively, sourced through Army contracting offices, carrying sub-million and low-millions potential values.

Representative recent work demonstrates the scope and dollar magnitude: an $8.8 million Total Small Business delivery order from Global Strike Command (June 2024) for repair of architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and fire protection systems throughout Building 1062 at Malmstrom AFB (completion December 2025); a $3.67 million contract for replacement of overhead power lines with underground power infrastructure along Flightline Drive at Malmstrom (October 2022, completion July 2025); a $3.066 million order to repair the battery room and architectural finishes in Building 1440 (July 2023, completion April 2025); a $3.2 million Air Force Space Command order for water well repair (September 2021, completion April 2023); and a $1.545 million contract for HTHW system construction and maintenance (October 2025, completion October 2026). Smaller orders span piping replacement and insulation, HVAC system repair and installation at missile facilities, electrical generator repairs, fire protection system replacements, fiber optic cable installation, and structural work supporting base operations.

Activity has been moderately steady: seven awards in 2022, six in 2023, eight in 2024, declining to four in 2025 and one in 2026 through April. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months carries only $1.7 million in combined potential value across two awards, suggesting minimal near-term contract expiration risk relative to the $179.8 million combined potential value across the full portfolio. Obligated dollars stand at $86.5 million (48% of combined potential value), indicating work in execution across multiple vehicles and task orders. Category concentration aligns with the vendor's core business: Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (62 awards), Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (18 awards), and Industrial Building Construction (5 awards) dominate NAICS composition. PSC codes reflect maintenance, repair, alteration of buildings and utilities, and construction of miscellaneous facilities — the infrastructure backbone of Malmstrom AFB and smaller Air Force installations.

Wadsworth has operated as a prime contractor at Malmstrom since at least 2001 and has received approximately 30 delivery orders under the MATOC since 2020 alone, establishing sustained performance credibility with Global Strike Command and Space Command for the base's mission-critical systems. The vendor's woman-owned small business designation, combined with its focus on mechanical systems and infrastructure repair at defense installations, positions it within a set-aside niche that is both a strategic advantage (many Air Force contracts reserved for WOSB or small business) and a concentration risk (Air Force represents 34 of 51 total Department of the Air Force awards).
