Western Construction Inc.

Western Construction Inc., a Boise, Idaho–based for-profit Subchapter S corporation, operates as a prime contractor (85% of recent awards) and subcontractor on federal construction and environmental remediation projects, with no SBA set-aside designations across its recent award footprint.

The vendor's customer base splits between two distinct agencies. The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration anchors 11 awards worth $10.6 million in combined potential value, representing the entirety of Western's stated potential-value pipeline. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation holds 7 awards with no stated potential value; the Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management holds 4 awards; and the Department of Agriculture and the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission each hold 1 award. These top five agencies represent 89% of recent awards. The divergence between the two rankings reflects that FHWA awards carry stated contract ceilings while BOR, DOE, OSHRC, and USDA awards in the source data do not carry potential-value figures, suggesting they may represent completed work or task orders under umbrella contracts with obligated-dollar reporting rather than ceiling-based procurement.

Western's capability portfolio centers on highway and bridge construction, site remediation, and excavation work. The vendor holds prime work on FHWA highway, street, and bridge construction projects and carries subcontract scope on the Department of Energy's Idaho Cleanup Project (ICP) End State Contract, where Western performs site prep and excavation services under the Idaho Cleanup Decommissioning Facility (ICDF) subcontract. Recent modifications to the ICP subcontract (October 2024, August 2024, July 2024, October 2023) reflect task-order funding adjustments and contract section updates across multiple task orders, indicating ongoing performance under that vehicle. The vendor's award portfolio shows 27 total awards spanning from 1985 to October 2024, with recent activity concentrated in 2023–2024 (4 awards in that two-year window). Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $60.5 million against $10.6 million in combined potential value, a ratio suggesting that historical awards have been completed and obligated at higher cumulative values than current-pipeline potential ceilings indicate. The Service Contract Inventory dataset shows minimal SCI-reportable activity — a single subcontractor record in FY2024 with 8.1 FTEs — reflecting that Western's federal work is predominantly construction and remediation projects (goods and site work) rather than labor-hour service contracts above the $150,000 SCI threshold.
