Waterfront Multiple Award Construction Contract

The Department of the Navy Installations Command established the Waterfront Multiple Award Construction Contract as a Master IDIQ for waterfront facility construction, repair, and renovation on February 26, 2021, with a shared ceiling of $240 million and final ordering deadline of February 25, 2026—now closed. Ordering has concluded; the most recent task orders were awarded in April 2026, three months ago.

The vehicle carries no set-aside designations and operates as an unrestricted multiple-award IDIQ across eight prime contractors. Work performed throughout the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Wyoming) focuses on Naval Base Kitsap installations at Bangor and Silverdale, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Naval Station Everett, Naval Magazine Indian Island, and other Navy waterfront assets. Task orders address pile replacement and repair, structural rehabilitation, electrical and utility system upgrades, fender and mooring infrastructure, drainage and floodgate systems, and cathodic protection—work reflecting aging facility maintenance and capital renewal across the Navy's Pacific fleet infrastructure.

Fifty-five task orders have been awarded since vehicle inception, with combined potential value of $285.6 million against the $240 million shared ceiling. Obligated value reaches $281.3 million (98 percent of combined potential). Order velocity peaked in 2023–2024 (12–13 orders annually) and declined to ten orders in 2025 and two in 2026, reflecting the approaching deadline and completion of a five-year contract cycle.

Contrack Watts Inc. leads by potential value at $108.3 million across seven orders, followed by Nova Group, Inc. ($86.2 million, 17 orders) and Triton Marine Construction Corp. ($68.5 million, 17 orders). These three firms capture approximately 69 percent of combined potential value. Manson Construction Co and Western Marine Construction, Inc. round out the awardee base with smaller order counts.

Department of the Navy Installations Command funds 28 orders worth $152 million (53 percent of combined potential); Naval Facilities Engineering Command places 19 orders valued at $91.4 million. Remaining orders distribute across strategic systems, sea systems, and other Navy components. Typical task orders range from under $1 million (cathodic protection, minor repairs) to $28 million–$33 million (major pile replacement and structural programs). Notable mega-orders include one to Triton Marine for Tang Road emergency repairs ($28.9 million obligated, $33.3 million ceiling) and one to Nova Group for Transit Protection System fueling infrastructure ($29.7 million potential).
