DOI Construction Multiple Award Contract 2023-2028

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Central Office established a multiple-award IDIQ on May 16, 2023 for design-build and design-bid-build construction spanning new construction, modular construction, demolition, repair, alteration, and renovation of educational, detention, medical, administrative, industrial, warehouses, communications, lodging, dormitory, training, and infrastructure facilities; ordering authority extends through May 16, 2028. The vehicle is restricted to Indian-owned Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) meeting a $39.5 million annual revenue threshold, though task orders show mixed set-aside designations.

Fifty-three task orders have been awarded since May 17, 2023, with ordering momentum moderating from 17 orders in 2023 to 4 orders placed so far in 2026. The combined potential value across all task orders is $548.4 million, with the full amount obligated. Approximately 21 months of ordering authority remain.

Awarded work reflects a broad portfolio of facility types, ranging from detention-center new construction and high-school modernization to utilities repair, visitor-center parking improvements, wildlife facility rehabilitation, and levee system repairs. Mega-orders include Tepa EC LLC's Trinity River Fish Hatchery Modernization Project at $57 million, Tepa EC's overall portfolio across six orders totaling $284.2 million, and single large awards such as the Tonalea Day School Design Build at $73 million, Many Farms High School Construction at $219.6 million, and Chi Chil Tah School Replacement at $86.6 million.

The prime-contractor field concentrates heavily in Tepa EC LLC, which holds 52% of combined potential value across six orders. Sealaska Constructors LLC ranks second with $95.4 million across seven orders. RJS Construction Inc., Aleut Construction LLC, and Cherokee CRC LLC comprise the next tier, with the remainder split across eight additional small-business construction firms. Customer concentration is even tighter: the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Central Office accounts for 17 orders and $410.9 million in combined potential value, roughly 75% of the vehicle total. The National Park Service, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Land Management, and Bureau of Indian Education account for the balance.

Set-aside distribution shows 45% of orders designated Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise, 53% unrestricted, and 2% total small business (one order, one firm). Task orders carry firm fixed-price structures with durations ranging from under one year to multi-year delivery extending into 2030. Places of performance span Interior Department sites nationwide, including tribal lands, national parks, and federal facilities across the continental United States.
