Ameristar Contracting Group, Inc.

Ameristar Contracting Group, Inc., a Hispanic American-owned, SBA-certified 8(a) small disadvantaged business based in Waretown, New Jersey, delivers construction, renovation, repair, and facilities maintenance services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards), with a recent award footprint dominated by two mega-scale IDVs totaling over $540 million in ceiling value. The company competes predominantly through 8(a) sole-source and competitive 8(a) set-asides on definitive contracts and delivery orders; full-and-open procurements represent a minority of Ameristar's prime work.

Ameristar's customer concentration is extreme and venue-dependent. The top customer by potential value—the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration—anchors $292.2 million across five awards, driven almost entirely by a $291.3 million multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement signed December 19, 2024, for general construction, mechanical and electrical work, telecommunications, roofing, and facilities management services to FAA properties through December 2034. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service ranks second with a single $250 million multiple-award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for design-build construction under the Great American Outdoors Act, running through April 2028. By award count, the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard dominates with 19 awards valued at $4.2 million combined—mostly sub-$300,000 purchase orders and definitive contracts for potable water pipes, hot water heaters, boiler replacement, roof repairs, asbestos abatement, septic systems, and marine infrastructure work across Coast Guard stations in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Florida, and Georgia. The Navy Installations Command places three awards worth $5.4 million combined, including a $1.72 million delivery order for FBI facility renovation at Colts Neck, New Jersey. NOAA, the FAA Technical Center, the Air Force, and the Air National Guard account for the remaining active customer base. Together, the top five funding agencies cover 98% of combined potential value.

Ameristar holds three large parent vehicles. The FAA multiple-award BOA (December 19, 2024, $291.3 million ceiling through 2034) represents a tenfold expansion of the company's existing $1 million FAA Technical Center BOA awarded in 2021, under which Ameristar has issued four task orders totaling $903 thousand for column replacement, exterior brick repairs, and simulator upgrades at Atlantic City facilities. The DOI Fish and Wildlife Service MATOC ($250 million, April 2028) is a total-small-business set-aside under the Great American Outdoors Act. The Navy Installations Command single-award BOA ($5 million, August 2027) has generated two task orders totaling $2.1 million. A fourth vehicle—the Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center Basic Ordering Agreement 692M1521G00002—appears to be the source of historical FAA delivery orders.

Award activity has decelerated after a peak in 2022. The vendor received 15 awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, 6 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 1 in 2026 (as of April 13, 2026). However, the December 2024 FAA BOA award—a strategic win with a ten-year runway—substantially resets Ameristar's recompete landscape. Only one award (a $169 thousand Naval Facilities Engineering Command purchase order for support column and rollup door replacement at Colts Neck, New Jersey, with completion by July 31, 2026) faces recompete in the next twenty-four months, owing to the long tail of the two mega-IDVs.

On Service Contract Inventory reporting, Ameristar declared $3.4 million in prime invoiced revenue across six records spanning FY2023–FY2024 (no FY2022 SCI activity reported). This represents a small slice of the vendor's actual federal services portfolio; most Ameristar work—construction, repair, and renovation—falls outside SCI's service-contract threshold and reporting mandate. FY2023 invoicing ran $919 thousand across 0.7 FTEs; FY2024 reached $2.5 million across 1.3 FTEs. On the SCI records, government-paid hourly rates ranged from a 10th percentile of $617.20 per hour to a median of $1,248.03 per hour and a 90th percentile of $2,029.02 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor relied on no subcontractor hours, building its own delivery teams on those engagements.

The vendor holds a single named subcontract: a May 2025 sub-award under Battelle Memorial Institute for civil engineering materials and processes, fire and emergency services, and airbase energy and utilities work on a Maritime Common Launcher System interface definition. This is not material to Ameristar's footprint given its 98% prime posture.

By capability framing, Ameristar's work products center on commercial and institutional building construction (20 awards), plumbing and HVAC contracting (5 awards), roofing (4 awards), water and sewer line construction (3 awards), and miscellaneous specialty trades. Concrete project examples include the $2.63 million design-build car wash facility at Tyndall Air Force Base (AETC, September 2022), the $1.31 million waterfront repairs MATOC at Coast Guard Station Chattahoochee in Bainbridge, Georgia (September 2022 through December 2023), the $1.72 million FBI facility renovation at Colts Neck (Navy Installations Command, April 2026), the $813 thousand demolition of Housing Unit 5449 at Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod (May 2024), and dozens of sub-$300,000 single-facility maintenance orders for pipe repair, boiler replacement, roof work, and lead/asbestos abatement across Coast Guard infrastructure in the Northeast and Southeast.

The vendor's 8(a) certification expires March 12, 2030, and all three parent IDVs are either reserved for small business participation or show no set-aside designation, reflecting Ameristar's positioning as a sole-source and competitive 8(a) incumbent with long-term relationships anchored to two foundational mega-contracts signed in late 2024 and early 2023 that will define revenue and recompete risk for the next five to ten years.
