About the company
Ames 1, LLC, a Native American-owned, minority-owned limited liability company headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, serves as the prime contractor on 241 of its 246 recent federal awards (98%), delivering construction, facilities maintenance, infrastructure repair, and environmental remediation services across civilian and defense agencies. Certified as an Indian Economic Enterprise, Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise, and Self Certified Small Disadvantaged Business, Ames 1 competes predominantly under Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise set-asides and 8(a) sole-source designations on its largest vehicles, though roughly 40% of its task orders carry no set-aside designation.
Ames 1's capability portfolio centers on facility construction and maintenance work grounded in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and facilities support services. Representative prime work includes a $1.5 billion multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract from the Department of Interior for construction, renovation, repair, and alteration at Interior facilities and Native American sites (awarded May 2023, through May 2028); a $360 million Department of Labor Job Corps design-build and construction IDIQ for real property and facilities work at Job Corps centers nationwide (awarded September 2026, through August 2031); a $9.2 million firm fixed-price delivery order from Interior to replace two housing units lost to structural fire at Port Alsworth, Alaska (awarded April 2025, completed June 2026); a $6.15 million delivery order for bus depot roads, visitor center trails, and water line replacement at Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska (awarded September 2026, completion February 2028); and a $7.73 million renovation of the Munitions Inspection Facility at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska (awarded October 2023, completion October 2025).
Customer concentration tilts heavily toward Interior: the Department of Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Central Office accounts for 10 awards but anchors 62% of Ames 1's combined potential value ($1.64 billion of $2.64 billion total). The Department of Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region contributes three awards worth $250.2 million (Fort Liberty vertical construction work). By award count, the Navy Installations Command and Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command dominate activity (54 and 41 awards respectively, $27.7 million and $39.2 million combined potential), but their individual awards are small—primarily sub-million facilities operations and repair task orders at Naval Operational Support Centers and naval installations across the continental United States. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 10 (29 awards, $8.6 million) and Air Force Pacific Air Forces (15 awards, $14.5 million) round out the top-five customer set.
Ames 1's parent vehicle position centers on Interior's DOI Construction Multiple Award Contract 2023-2028 (the $1.5 billion Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise set-aside vehicle) and the newly awarded Department of Labor Job Corps IDIQ ($360 million). Navy IDVs (N4008519D6730, N4008519D3005, N4008519D3004, N6945018D8419) support recurring small-order facilities operations and repair; Ames 1 has issued 15, 14, 12, and 12 task orders respectively against these contracts. GSA Public Buildings Service Region 10 and Army Corps of Engineers vehicles carry the remainder. The award trajectory shows contraction: 31 awards in FY2022 declined to 5 in FY2026 (year-to-date); however, the portfolio's dollar concentration in the newly awarded billion-dollar Interior and Labor IDIQs signals a strategic reposition toward larger, longer-term set-aside vehicles rather than continued volume in small task-order activity. Seven awards with combined potential value of $20.1 million face completion in the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure.
Service Contract Inventory data (SCI-reportable federal service contracts above $150,000) records $20.6 million invoiced across FY2022–FY2025 as a prime contractor, representing a partial view of Ames 1's federal services revenue and excluding all goods, products, and non-SCI-reportable work. FY2025 showed $9.7 million invoiced across 7.1 FTEs, reflecting a ramp in larger construction and project-delivery contracts; FY2024 was lighter at $1.9 million across 2.8 FTEs. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid hourly rates run around $546.59/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching $764.05/hr at the 90th percentile and lower-skilled labor at $21.90/hr; the wide spread reflects Ames 1's mix of project management, skilled trades, and general labor roles. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average of 7% of contractor hours; Ames 1 names 14 distinct subcontractors in SCI data, reflecting a prime-heavy delivery posture supplemented by selective subs.
Ames 1 operates as a subcontractor in a joint venture structure with Chitina Diversified Services, LLC under the Chitina Diversified-Ames 1 JV LLC entity on defense facility construction work, including the October 2024 Joint Base Andrews outfalls project (as sub to Chitina Diversified), the December 2023 Laredo Phase 2 AMO facilities construction (as JV member), and the October 2023 Abiquiu Bulkhead project in New Mexico (as JV member). These sub and JV arrangements represent the exception; Ames 1's footprint is predominantly direct-prime work on set-aside vehicles serving Interior, Labor, the Navy, and GSA.
