Robins AFB Mechanical-Electrical Construction 2013-2017

The Air Force Materiel Command established this Master IDIQ for mechanical and electrical construction, repair, and maintenance at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, with a shared ceiling of $45 million and ordering that closed on March 24, 2018—eight years and three months ago. This vehicle is no longer active and does not support new business pursuits.

Over its five-year period of performance (March 2013 to March 2018), the IDIQ generated 189 task orders totaling $43.1 million in combined potential value, with $42.9 million obligated (100% of combined potential). Ordering activity peaked in 2015 with 47 orders and declined steadily thereafter, falling to just 8 orders in the final quarter of 2018.

Scope encompassed building-systems work across the base: HVAC system replacement and repair (chillers, boilers, coils, air-handling units), electrical infrastructure (transformer repair and replacement, cable and wiring, switchgear, grounding systems, sub-panels and outlets), fire suppression and detection systems, power distribution (ground rods, harmonic devices, soft starters, power whips), and ancillary MEP work (ADA door openers, lighting installation, intrusion detection, lightning protection). The largest single order was a $2.38 million HVAC system construction for Building 140; others in the $1–2.3 million range included cable replacement (Marchbanks overhead-to-underground conversion), fire alarm and mass notification for Building 645, and Building 943 HVAC system construction.

RCA Contracting, Inc. dominated the vehicle with 123 of 189 orders worth $36.2 million in combined potential value (84% of total value). Jamco Ventures LLC held 65 orders valued at $6.9 million. The remaining 1 order (Pruett Air Conditioning Co, $5 thousand) is immaterial. Concentration was extreme; two firms captured substantially all work under this vehicle.

The customer base was narrow: Air Force Materiel Command directly issued 142 orders ($31.9 million), while its Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex subsidiary issued 46 orders ($11.2 million). One Defense Finance and Accounting Service order ($26 thousand) was an outlier.

The set-aside mix reveals a strong HUBZone preference: 174 of 189 orders (92%) were HUBZone set-asides, with 13 unrestricted orders (7%) and 2 small-business orders (1%). Nearly all task orders were firm fixed price. Work was performed across multiple buildings at Robins AFB, with no single location accounting for the entire scope—orders were distributed basewide.

Contractors under this Master IDIQ must furnish all plant, labor, equipment, materials, transportation, supervision, administration and management necessary to perform all work required for the construction, repair and maintenance of the Mechanical/Electrical subsystems, infrastructure repair and utilities support at Robins AFB, GA.
