Executive Summary

This digest covers a single federal construction contract: a $41,394,627 firm-fixed-price award to NV Services LLC (Guaynabo, PR) from the Department of Labor for design/build redevelopment of the Arecibo Job Corps Center in Puerto Rico.

The award is 100% civilian (0% defense) and is a total small business set-aside with 8(a) participation, so it does not represent a verifiable revenue stream for any publicly traded company. As of the data snapshot, $36,644,219 (about 89%) has been outlaid, leaving roughly $4.75M unpaid, with a current and potential end date of 2027-07-16. The highest-conviction signal is neutral at best: a fully funded, near-complete civilian construction project with no public-parent linkage and no identified option value. The key watch item is whether NV Services LLC is publicly traded or a subsidiary of a listed entity, and whether change orders or cost growth emerge against the firm-fixed-price ceiling before the 2027-07-16 end date.

Investment Signals (3)

  • NV Services LLC $41.39M DOL Arecibo Job Corps contract nears completion with ~$4.75M remaining (LOW)
    ▲

    NV Services LLC holds a $41,394,627 firm-fixed-price definitive contract from the Department of Labor's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management, with $36,644,219 (about 89%) already outlaid and a current and potential end date of 2027-07-16. The remaining ~$4.75M represents final payment milestones rather than new revenue opportunity.

  • Firm-fixed-price construction exposure on $41.39M DOL award carries high pricing risk (MEDIUM)
    ▲

    The NV Services LLC contract is firm-fixed-price with base and all options equal, meaning no unexercised option value is identified and the contractor bears cost-overrun risk on the Arecibo Job Corps design/build scope. With ~89% already outlaid, any remaining change orders or schedule extensions to the 2027-07-16 end date would pressure margins on the final ~$4.75M.

  • Total small business 8(a) set-aside limits competitive and public-market read-through (HIGH)
    ▲

    The award is a total small business set-aside with 8(a) program participation and multiple socioeconomic designations, and NV Services LLC is listed as its own parent company with no ticker or public filing. The $41,394,627 value therefore accrues to a single small firm and cannot be verified as a revenue stream for any publicly traded defense or government services name.

Risk Flags (3)

  • Execution [MEDIUM RISK]
    ▼

    NV Services LLC's $41,394,627 firm-fixed-price design/build contract for the Arecibo Job Corps Center carries high pricing risk, with only ~$4.75M of the $41.39M total remaining unpaid as of the data snapshot and a fixed end date of 2027-07-16.

  • Concentration [LOW RISK]
    ▼

    The entire digest consists of a single $41,394,627 award to one small business, NV Services LLC, with no public parent identified, creating total recipient and agency concentration in this stream.

  • Budget [LOW RISK]
    ▼

    The award reflects federal capital investment in Job Corps facilities via the Department of Labor; the data alone does not establish a multi-year budget trend, leaving civilian agency construction funding uncertain beyond this project.
