ENDIST San Francisco

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District San Francisco, a sub-agency of the Army Corps of Engineers within the Department of Defense, acquires engineering, environmental, and maintenance services for waterway and dam management, dredging, monitoring, and facility operations across Northern California and the South Pacific Division region.

Since 2000, the San Francisco District has awarded 1,987 federal contracts totaling $1.51 billion in combined potential value, with $1.44 billion obligated. Contract activity accelerated in recent years: 13 awards in 2022, 18 in 2023, 14 in 2024, 49 in 2025, and 38 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award recorded was July 22, 2026.

Competition among prime contractors is fragmented. Over the last five years, the top five by award count—Tellus Civic Science Corporation (10 awards), DR Reed & Associates, Inc. (7), The Dutra Group (5), Bettencourt Janitorial LLC (5), and G1 Construction, Inc. (4)—hold 23 percent of recent awards. By combined potential value, the landscape differs: Curtin Maritime Corp leads with $43.2 million across 4 awards, followed by Manson Construction Co ($38.3 million over 2 awards) and The Dutra Group ($32.3 million over 5 awards), together representing 10 percent of potential value. Across the portfolio, the District has engaged 744 distinct prime contractors.

Set-aside usage remains minimal. Seventy-nine percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small business awards account for 12 percent, with 8(a) sole-source awards at 8 percent. Woman-owned, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned designations each represent 1 percent or less of the portfolio.
