NAVFAC SW Habitat Enhancement 2016-2021

Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Southwest (NAVFAC SW) awarded a Master IDIQ on August 18, 2016, for habitat enhancement services across Arizona, California, and Nevada, with ordering authority closed as of August 17, 2021. The vehicle is past its ordering window; the most recent task order was issued February 14, 2025, reflecting completion work on already-obligated awards rather than new work under the IDIQ.

The combined potential value of all 124 task orders issued under the vehicle is $42.1 million, fully obligated. Habitat enhancement work spans revegetation, exotic plant and invasive species control, erosion mitigation, site grading and contouring, biomonitoring, fencing, signage, and associated environmental restoration across Navy and Marine Corps installations. Recent orders exemplify the breadth: riparian woodland and wetland buffer creation at Naval Air Station Fallon; invasive plant control at Naval Base Coronado and Camp Pendleton; erosion control at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton; and biological trapping and habitat mapping at former Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach.

Competition is heavily concentrated. Patriot Joint Venture holds 78 of 124 orders (63% by count) valued at $28 million combined potential value. IO Environmental And Infrastructure Incorporated holds the remaining 46 orders (37%) valued at $14.1 million. These two primes account for 100 percent of all awards under the vehicle, leaving no long tail. Among customers, Naval Facilities Engineering Command placed 57 orders ($20.7 million), followed by U.S. Marine Corps (22 orders, $11.1 million) and Naval Installations Command (26 orders, $4.4 million). Navy and Marine Corps entities account for roughly 97 percent of all orders.

Eighty-three percent of task orders carry no set-aside designation (103 orders). Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides comprise 17 percent (21 orders). Task order values range from under $10,000 to over $4.5 million, with firm fixed pricing throughout. The largest single award was $4.6 million to Patriot Joint Venture for mowing, vegetation, and fire fuel management at a former Naval Weapons Station, extending through May 2026. A $2.26 million order for wetland fill and pickleweed habitat restoration at former Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo, extends to March 2027. Most routine orders fall in the $50,000 to $250,000 range with durations of 12 to 24 months. Geographic concentration aligns with the vehicle's Southwest scope, with orders distributed across Southern California military installations (Camp Pendleton, Miramar, Coronado, China Lake), Fallon Nevada, and inland training areas.

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Southwest, San Diego, CA, has awarded a Master IDIQ for Habitat Enhancement Multiple Award Service Contract (MASC). The services to be acquired include habitat enhancement services to perform needed project site preparation, restoration, revegetation, exotic plant control, erosion control, grading, earth moving, contouring, stabilization, native planting and seeding, site maintenance, weed abatement, biomonitoring, signage, fence installation, and other associated tasks in Arizona, California, and Nevada.
