The Department of the Interior National Park Service Northeast Region is a sub-agency within the Interior Department that acquires construction, maintenance, repair, and facility management services across Northeast regional park properties through federal contracts and grants.

Since 2002, the Northeast Region has issued 11,180 federal contract awards totaling $1.51 billion in combined potential value, with $1.25 billion obligated.

The competitive landscape is highly fragmented, with the top five primes by award count holding only 6 percent of recent awards over the last five years. Olin Winchester LLC leads by count with 35 awards ($131 thousand combined potential value), followed by MFS Construction LLC with 25 awards ($9.4 million) and The Kinetic Group Sales LLC with 24 awards ($95 thousand).
