Joint Base San Antonio Multiple Award Construction Contract

The Air Force Air Education and Training Command awarded approximately twelve competitive small-business construction IDIQs on May 16, 2022, for design-build, new construction, renovation, and repair work at Joint Base San Antonio, with ordering authority extending through May 15, 2032. The vehicle is fully set aside for small businesses certified in NAICS 236220 (new commercial and institutional buildings) at the $39.5 million size standard.

Ordering activity is moderating but remains substantive. The vehicle generated 52 task orders over four years, averaging 10 per year through 2023 before declining to nine annually in 2024 and 2025 and one order in early 2026. The combined potential value across all task orders stands at $219.6 million, with $207.3 million (94%) already obligated. This leaves approximately $12.3 million in unobligated potential value remaining under the $990 million shared ceiling.

Work is concentrated at JBSA-Lackland, JBSA-Randolph, and JBSA-Fort Sam Houston, with decentralized opportunities at Laughlin AFB and Goodfellow AFB. Scope is dominated by renovation and repair projects—dorm renovations, hangar conversions, cooling tower and chiller replacements, fire suppression system upgrades, and plumbing infrastructure repairs—alongside design-build commissions for administrative and operational spaces. Recent orders also include electrical infrastructure for EV charging stations, water line replacements, and facility system upgrades.

Competition is moderately concentrated among the original awardees. Butt Construction Company holds 8 orders worth $117.9 million in combined potential value; Lifecycle Construction Services holds 10 orders worth $58 million; and CCI Energy and Construction Services holds 8 orders worth $13 million. These three firms account for approximately 73% of task-order count and 96% of combined potential value. Nine additional small business awardees share the remaining activity, including Leisnoi Professional Services, LRG Services, and HGL Construction.

Funding is almost entirely Air Education and Training Command (46 orders, $215.1 million), with minimal activity from other Air Force commands. Set-aside execution shows a roughly two-to-one split: 67% of orders (35) are unrestricted small business competitive awards, and 33% (17) are total small business set-asides. Task-order ceilings range from the minimum guarantee ($2,000 contracting school orders in the initial 2022 cohort) to a high of $43.9 million for a dormitory renovation at Benner, with typical construction projects ranging from $1.5 million to $26.7 million.

Broad range of work including new construction, design-build for new construction, renovation, alteration, repair, and associated design and architecture/engineering work at JBSA. The projects will include tasks in a variety of trades including, but not limited to carpentry, asbestos abatement/removal, demolition, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, concrete masonry, welding, and paving.
