Ayko Group-Wa Patriot JV, LLC

Ayko Group-Wa Patriot JV, LLC, a minority-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned small business joint venture, operates as a prime contractor in design-build and design-bid-build construction and facility infrastructure services for Department of the Navy customers, delivering work exclusively under two large Navy Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) regional indefinite delivery contracts totaling $1.3 billion in combined potential value. The firm is based in Honolulu, Hawaii, and operates under the SBA 8(a) program as a child entity of parent Ayko Group LLC; it competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides (Competitive 8(a) and Total Small Business designations) with occasional non-set-aside task orders on vehicles reserved for small business.

Ayko Group-Wa Patriot JV delivers concrete construction and maintenance services at Navy installations across Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest. Representative work includes a $7.7 million design-build delivery order (awarded February 2025) for partial renovation of Building 995 and tensioned fabric structure installation at Naval Base Kitsap in Bremerton, Washington, under the NAVFAC Northwest 8(a) MACC; a $3.99 million delivery order (awarded April 2025) for freight elevator replacement at the Defense Information Systems Agency Pacific facility in Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, under the Design-Bid-Build Hawaii MACC; a $5.89 million repair contract (awarded March 2024) at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington; and numerous smaller facility maintenance orders including roof system repairs, chiller replacement, concrete reinforcement, restroom renovation, and mechanical system replacements at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Naval Base Kitsap, and other installations.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular: the Department of the Navy accounts for 100% of awards across three sub-agencies. Naval Facilities Engineering Command dominates with ten awards carrying $1.28 billion combined potential value (98% of the portfolio's dollars), reflecting the two large regional indefinite delivery contracts. Navy Installations Command and US Pacific Fleet Forces together account for twelve task orders worth $23.4 million. The NAVFAC Northwest 8(a) Small Business MACC Regional Contract (awarded July 28, 2023, with a $510 million ceiling through July 27, 2026) holds sixteen task orders totaling $41.7 million; the Design-Bid-Build Hawaii MACC (awarded October 27, 2023, with a $744 million ceiling through October 26, 2028) holds four task orders worth $7.6 million. Six awards with combined potential value $22.7 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

Activity has grown from three awards in 2023 to nine in 2024 and nine in 2025; one award appeared in early 2026. All awards are delivery orders or indefinite delivery contracts issued to Ayko Group-Wa Patriot JV as a 100% prime; the vendor carries no subcontract footprint in the source. Work scope is concentrated in commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS 236220), with secondary activity in ship repair, administrative facilities, and troop housing repair or alteration. The firm operates as a child entity of parent Ayko Group LLC, which carries identical SBA 8(a) certification and minority, SDVOB, and veteran-ownership designations.
