NAVFAC Crane IN Mechanical Construction 2015-2020

Naval Facilities Engineering Command established this multiple-award IDIQ on May 6, 2015, to provide mechanical construction labor, equipment, supervision, and professional design services for HVAC and plumbing system maintenance, repair, replacement, and corrective work at Naval Support Activity Crane, Indiana. Ordering closed on May 5, 2020—the vehicle is no longer active and cannot receive new task orders.

The vehicle obligated its full combined potential value of $13.9 million across 94 task orders before closure. Order velocity peaked in 2019 at 24 awards and declined sharply in 2020 to 9 awards as the vehicle approached its May 5, 2020 cut-off. The most recent orders were issued in late April 2020, with completion dates extending into 2021. Task orders ranged widely in value, from under $8 thousand to $1.54 million for a single comprehensive HVAC replacement and controls upgrade (Building 3334 RTU, VAV, and controls work awarded September 24, 2018).

Competition concentrated heavily among two firms. Mastercraft Mechanical Contractors, Inc. captured 34 of 94 orders (36% of the awardee count) and $8.4 million in combined potential value (60% of the vehicle's total value). Harrell Contracting Inc. won 52 orders (55% of the awardee count) but only $3.6 million in value (26% of total). A long tail of three additional primes—Commercial Service Of Bloomington, Inc., CMS Corporation, and Siemens Government Technologies Inc.—shared the remaining 8 orders and less than $2 million in value. Mastercraft's dominance by dollar value reflects larger individual order sizes; Harrell's higher order count suggests a strategy of smaller, more frequent maintenance and repair awards.

Customer concentration was even more pronounced: Naval Sea Systems Command (NSWC) placed 62 of the 92 substantive orders (66% of order count) and controlled $8.5 million (61% of combined value). Naval Facilities Engineering Command issued 12 orders worth $3.5 million. Army Reserve Command and other Navy and Army activities split the remaining 18 orders. All 94 orders carried no set-aside designation; this was an unrestricted multiple-award vehicle.

Actual work centered on building-specific HVAC equipment replacement, controls upgrades, boiler refurbishment and replacement, chiller and heat pump systems, plumbing fixture upgrades, pipe insulation, and emergency systems like temporary heating and compressed air support. Nearly all performance occurred at Naval Support Activity Crane, with one noted task order for HVAC work at the Glendora Test Facility in Sullivan, Indiana.

Master IDIQ for providing labor, equipment, tools, supplies, transportation, supervision, quality control, professional design services, and management necessary to perform various mechanical construction, corrective & preventative maintenance, repair and replacement of existing heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) and plumbing systems and associated components including equipment replacements and incidental related work.
