Walsh Federal LLC

Walsh Federal LLC, doing business as Walsh Construction Co II, LLC, a subsidiary of Walsh Construction Group LLC headquartered in Chicago, delivers commercial and institutional building construction services to the federal government as a prime contractor across design-build, design-bid-build, renovation, repair, and demolition work. The company competes in unrestricted, full and open federal construction procurements without set-asides, holding a portfolio of 71 prime awards (100% of tracked awards) worth $38.9 billion in combined potential value across 23 customer agencies.

Walsh Federal's customer concentration splits heavily between defense and civilian infrastructure. The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command leads in both award count (22 awards) and dollar value ($12.2 billion potential), followed by the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection ($10 billion on a single design-build IDIQ awarded May 2026), the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard ($6.1 billion across six vehicles), and the Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters ($5.1 billion across eight vehicles). The top five customers account for 92% of combined potential value, driven by large platform vehicles rather than volume: NAVFAC's $12.2 billion reflects multiple IDIQs and task orders; CBP's $10 billion is a single five-year multiple-award IDIQ; and FAA's portfolio spans design-build BOAs and specific delivery orders for air traffic control infrastructure.

Walsh Federal holds multiple large Indefinite Delivery Contracts and Basic Ordering Agreements anchoring its federal business. Active vehicles include a $10 billion CBP design-build construction IDIQ (awarded May 2026, through May 2031) for border patrol stations and checkpoints nationwide; a $1.999 billion NAVFAC Southeast AOR IDIQ (through June 2030) covering Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas; a $4 billion US Coast Guard National Multiple Award Construction Contract III (through September 2033); a $2.358 billion U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fort Worth District IDIQ (through March 2029); a $3 billion NAVFAC Commercial and Institutional MACC V; and four Federal Aviation Administration Basic Ordering Agreements, each with $999.999 million ceilings, for air traffic control facility design-build and bid-build services nationwide (awarded February 2023, through February 2033). Recent large definitive contracts include a $168.2 million Naval Ordnance Testing Unit Engineering Test Facility at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (NAVFAC, awarded November 2025, completion January 2028), a $158.7 million Nuclear Command, Control and Communications Alert Campus at Offutt Air Force Base (Army Corps of Engineers, awarded March 2023, completion March 2026), a $240 million P197 Aircraft Maintenance Hangar and Parking Garage at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point (NAVFAC, awarded April 2022, completion October 2026), and a $74.4 million Airport Traffic Control Tower and Base Building at Grand Forks International Airport (FAA Southwestern Region, awarded June 2026, completion February 2029).

Award activity peaked in 2023 with 22 awards, driven by the award of multiple large IDIQs and BOAs; annual activity has moderated to four awards in 2022, seven in 2024, and ten in 2025. Fourteen awards (combined potential value $1.12 billion) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across aviation, military construction, and homeland security facilities segments. Walsh Federal's facility delivery spans design-build and design-bid-build vertical construction (NAICS 236220, which accounts for 67 of 71 awards), with PSC concentration in miscellaneous building construction (28 awards), airfield structures (11 awards), and air traffic control tower construction and maintenance (14 awards combined). The company's prime posture and large platform vehicles position it as a prime contractor on major federal infrastructure, with no subcontractor role in the tracked award portfolio.

On Service Contract Inventory reporting, Walsh Federal invoiced $76 million across FY2022–FY2024 on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold (FY2022: $24.9 million, FY2023: $35.5 million, FY2024: $15.6 million). SCI-reported FTE counts ran 17.0 in FY2022, 15.1 in FY2023, and 5.7 in FY2024, reflecting a significant decline in federal service-contract staffing that likely tracks contract phase-down or completion cycles. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid hourly rates ranged from a 10th percentile of $132.56/hr to a median of $324.98/hr to a 90th percentile of $1,330.93/hr, with subs performing 38% of total contractor hours on average across prime contracts and 40 named subcontractors reported. SCI captures only federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes construction labor, goods, products, and non-federal revenue — the firm's primary business is fixed-price construction delivery, which sits outside SCI's scope.
