U.S. Vet General Contracting

What U.S. Vet General Contracting does

U.S. Vet General Contracting, LLC is a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned (SDVO) construction company founded in 2010 by Army veteran Matt Bell and headquartered in McFarland, Wisconsin. The firm provides general construction, subcontracting, and construction management services for federal, state, and municipal government projects, as well as commercial and institutional clients. Its service portfolio spans pre-construction planning, design/build, construction management, value engineering, safety assurance, and post-construction services, complemented by in-house trade capabilities in carpentry, concrete, and interior demolition.

The company has grown from three employees to one of the largest federal construction contract holders in Wisconsin, with over 45% of staff tenure exceeding six years and approximately 20% exceeding ten years. U.S. Vet generates revenue through competitive bidding on government contracts, primarily via the BuildingConnected platform, with its largest single contract win occurring in 2024. The firm's value proposition centers on military-derived operational discipline—Army values of Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage—and its SDVO certification, which enables access to federal contracting set-asides and preferential procurement treatment.

The business is privately held, founder/management-owned, with no disclosed external investment or institutional backing. Operations are concentrated in Wisconsin with broader Midwest reach, and the company pursues new work through government procurement channels rather than commercial intermediaries. Recognition includes five consecutive years of the U.S. Department of Labor HIRE Vets Gold Medallion Award and the 2024 MCISC President's Safety Excellence Award from the AGC of Greater Milwaukee.
