Construction Services WOSB Design Bid Build Hawaii

Naval Facilities Engineering Command awarded this Design-Bid-Build (DBB) IDIQ as a women-owned small business (WOSB) set-aside on July 10, 2024, to contract construction services throughout Hawaii with a combined potential value ceiling of $98 million and ordering authority extending to July 9, 2032. Competition remains open and active for nearly six additional years. Seven WOSB primes hold awards under the vehicle; however, competitive intensity is constrained: D&D Construction, Inc. dominates with 11 of 25 awarded task orders and $5.4 million in combined potential value—roughly 53 percent of all work contracted to date. The next three largest primes (Allied Electric Limited Liability Company, Southwest Construction & Property Management, and Niking Corp) collectively hold $3.7 million, leaving a small long tail of lower-activity firms.

Twenty-five task orders have been awarded since the vehicle's inception, with ordering momentum accelerating modestly: 12 orders in 2024 and 13 in 2025. Most recent awards span August 2025 through December 2025, with projects currently in execution through mid-2026. Combined obligated dollars total $10.2 million against the $98 million ceiling—approximately 10 percent of potential value—indicating substantial unobligated capacity remains.

The actual work consists of facility maintenance, repair, and alteration: concrete and drainage work, HVAC and AHU replacement, door and window repair and replacement, building demolition, airfield improvements, siding and metal stair repair, and electric vehicle supply equipment installation. All work is performed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii Kaneohe Bay, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, and subordinate Hawaii installations. Typical task-order ceilings range from $78 thousand to $1.76 million; the largest single order is $1.76 million for AHU replacement. Task durations typically span six to twelve months.

Demand is concentrated among Navy customers: United States Marine Corps placed 14 orders valued at $6.2 million (56% of total), Naval Facilities Engineering Command placed 9 orders at $3.3 million (30%), and Naval Installations Command placed 2 orders at $616 thousand. The set-aside structure shows actual mixed use—76 percent of task orders carry no set-aside, while 24 percent are designated WOSB set-aside, despite the vehicle's stated WOSB-exclusive charter at the prime level.
