Walsh Construction Company II, LLC

Walsh Construction Company II, LLC, a subsidiary of Walsh Construction Group LLC, is a heavy construction and design-build contractor competing as a prime on full-and-open federal contracts (100% of recent awards) with no small-business set-asides, delivering military medical facility construction, renovation, and sustainment services to the Defense Department, Army, Navy, and VA across a $6.09 billion potential-value portfolio dominated by indefinite delivery contracts.

Walsh Construction II is a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, operating under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and related construction disciplines. The vendor competes exclusively as a prime contractor and does not pursue set-aside categories. Recent activity reflects a rebound after a 2024 lull — two awards in 2022, four in 2023, one in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026 — with 28 total prime awards across 18 customer agencies, though customer concentration is steep.

Customer concentration sits almost entirely on Army Corps of Engineers, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, and VA construction programs. The top five customer agencies (by potential value) account for 85% of combined value: the Army Corps of Engineers' Engineering Support Center Huntsville leads with three awards carrying $2.02 billion combined potential value, followed by Naval Facilities Engineering Command with two awards at $1 billion, Army Corps of Engineers programs (Louisville, Little Rock, New York districts) contributing $2.14 billion across four awards, and the VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management anchoring $247.7 million across three awards. The two rankings diverge sharply — Huntsville dominates dollars while split more evenly by award count — because Huntsville holds three very large indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor operates under five parent vehicles. The largest is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (W9127S17D6002) that has generated five task orders worth $179.5 million combined potential value. The vendor also holds a $1.3 billion Medical Repair and Renewal VII IDC (awarded January 2025, through January 2032), a $900 million Little Rock Medical Sustainment Restoration and Modernization Mission IDC (awarded February 2023, through February 2029), a $720 million Initial Outfitting and Transition Facilities Support Services IV IDC (awarded August 2026, through August 2029), and a $1 billion Naval Facilities Engineering Command Medical Facility Construction contract (awarded September 2022, through September 2027).

Representative work includes a $213.3 million firm fixed-price definitive contract with the VA for design-build construction of a long-term spinal cord injury facility and acute care renovations at Dallas VA Medical Center (awarded September 2023, ultimate completion January 2027), which reported 23.7 FTEs and 49,322 contractor hours in FY2024 at a blended rate of $429.72 per hour; a $99.2 million Army definitive contract for design-build construction of a Ground Transportation Equipment Building at Detroit Arsenal in Warren, Michigan (awarded May 2024, through May 2027); and a $675 thousand VA stipend payment contract for the El Paso VA NHCC project (awarded December 2023). The vendor also holds delivery orders under these IDCs generating smaller guaranteed-minimum and task-order work, such as $10 thousand and $3 thousand orders under Defense Health Agency and Army Corps programs.

Service Contract Inventory reporting shows sparse recent activity: $15 million SCI-reportable invoicing in FY2022 across 5.7 FTEs, zero invoicing in FY2023, and $21.2 million in FY2024 across 12.4 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on federal service contracts range from a 10th percentile of $188.62 per hour to a median of $256.27 per hour and a 90th percentile of $395.03 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 31% of total contractor hours, with 38 named subcontractors engaged on those contracts, indicating that Walsh Construction II builds delivery capability through subcontract engagement rather than a fully captive workforce. Two awards (combined potential value $312.5 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure on large military medical construction vehicles.
