Electrical in Montana
In Q2 2026, Montana has 21 active Electrical Services opportunities distributed across 5 cities, but the market is top-heavy: Malmstrom AFB commands 43% of all activity. Malmstrom AFB, Fort Peck, Helena together hold 86% of statewide deal flow. Contractors entering Montana's Electrical Services market should treat Malmstrom AFB as the primary beachhead before expanding to secondary markets.
The top Electrical Services markets in Montana as of Q2 2026 are: Malmstrom AFB (9 opportunities, 43% of state activity); Fort Peck (7 opportunities, 33% of state activity); Helena (2 opportunities, 10% of state activity). Malmstrom AFB leads by a factor of 1.3× over the second-ranked city, Fort Peck, reflecting federal installation density and agency office concentration in the Malmstrom AFB metro. The statewide average is 4 opportunities per city across 5 markets.
Two agencies shape Montana's Electrical Services market: National Institutes of Health leads at 55% of awards, with Department of the Air Force at 14%. Together they represent 70% of the state's 56 recorded contract actions and $4.0M in total spending. Winning with either agency provides the past-performance foundation to compete for the other's work. On the vendor side, the market is incumbent-heavy: the top 3 contractors — LIBERTY ELECTRIC INC, JACOBSON ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING INC, ROCKY MOUNTAIN INDUSTRIAL CONTROL INC — hold 73% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.
