Joint Base McGuire-Dix Lakehurst Construction MACC

The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command awarded this Master IDIQ for general construction, repair, and alteration services at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey on March 19, 2020, with a shared ceiling of $90 million across all awardees. Ordering closed on September 18, 2025, making this vehicle no longer available for new task order placement.

The vehicle is 100% small-business set-aside by design, restricted to firms meeting the NAICS 236220 size standard of $36.5 million in average annual revenue. The solicitation intended five awards; actual awards went to six primes. Competition is moderately concentrated but not dominated: Kaser Mechanical LLC leads by combined potential value at $34.7 million across 47 orders, followed closely by Sheela, Inc. at $33.4 million across 84 orders and M.e.r.i.t., Inc. at $32 million across 63 orders. These three firms represent roughly 75% of combined potential value. Benaka, Inc. and Sequoia Construction Incorporated hold $11.7 million and $16.2 million respectively, with a sixth unnamed firm capturing the remainder.

Ordering activity remained steady across the vehicle's five-year window: 46 orders in 2021, 47 in 2022, 38 in 2023, and 46 in 2024, with 7 orders placed in 2025 before the cutoff. Air Mobility Command placed 228 of 236 total orders valued at $126 million; other Department of the Air Force, Army Forces Command, and Navy customers placed fewer than a dozen orders combined. The vehicle obligated $126.2 million against the combined potential value of $128.1 million, representing 98% utilization across all awardees.

Actual task orders span maintenance-heavy work (roof repairs, window preservation, fence replacement, HVAC fixes, door installations) alongside larger capital projects (building renovations, pre-engineered building construction, fire suppression systems, chiller replacement). Recent mega-orders include a $4.7 million repair to Building 1907's first floor (awarded January 2023), a $4.1 million renovation of Grace Peterson Hall (Building 5656, awarded June 2024), a $3.5 million renovation of Building 1730's east side (awarded August 2024), and several $2.6 million to $2.9 million facility overhauls. Smaller orders ($8,000 to $300,000) handle tactical maintenance. Most task orders are firm-fixed-price with completion windows of three to eighteen months. All work performed at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst with occasional ancillary work at nearby facilities such as Earle Naval Weapons Station.
